HYDRO SEEDING YOUR INSTANT TURF
Hydro seeding is an extremely fast and cost effective way to establish your new instant turf. This method of lawn establishment represents a low-cost alternative instant lawn solution that is far more superior to conventional hand seeding.
How Hydro Seeding Your Lawn Turf Works
This process involves mixing the seed, fertiliser, lime and a cellulose fibre mulch with water. The mixture is then applied to the soil using a high-pressure distribution system that sprays it on the soil with a hose. Through this method, no more seed will be lost from sudden, unexpected bursts of the wind or other elements.

BENEFITS OF HYDRO SEEDING YOUR LAWN TURF
Hydro seeding your instant turf offers many benefit, which is why it is becoming an increasingly popular choice for making lawns greener and healthier.
- Low Cost
Hydro seeding comes at a quarter of the price of sod, cutting back on the expense, time consumption, material costs and installation demands of conventional seeding methods.
- Fast and efficient application
Hydro seeding takes far less time and can be completed in about an hour to an hour and a half, in contrast to hand seeding which can take up to half a day for the same area.
- Higher percentage of germination
On average, hydro seeded grass can grow in less than a week. It can also become established and ready for mowing in 3 to 4 weeks. This faster germination time makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.
- Reduced erosion
Erosion control is easier with a hydro seeding. The mulch involved in the process can automatically address erosion issues. Hydro seeding protects against erosion from the wind, water and other elements through the use of an organic tackifier that helps the seed stay with the grass.
- Better water retention
The mulch in hydro seeding provides moisture that allows better water retention. This means it will need less watering since the seeds are less prone to drying out.
- Health
The mixture for hydro seeding enhances the seed germination process, stimulating faster and better growth of the grass. It promotes a stronger deep-rooted system that helps produce vigorous hearty grass.

HYDRO SEEDING MAINTENANCE
Keep in mind that your new lawn must be well watered after application and regularly mown at an even height. Fertiliser and other Lawn Care materials should be used as required for your lawn’s continued health.
Watering is the most important aspect of ensuring the success of your new lawn. Your hydro seeded lawn should be kept continually damp. Do not flood the area with excessive watering. Keep the surface moist until full germination is complete (about 2 weeks). Be certain your new lawn has enough moisture to survive hot, dry and windy conditions. Water lawn near buildings and paved surfaces more often as reflected heat dries the soil more quickly.
