PROPER WATERING OF HYDROSEEDED LAWNS The first 14 days of watering is critical to proper germination of your new lawn. Review watering times daily to insure complete coverage of areas. Adjust sprinklers or watering times as needed. Do not "over water" or water at night! For newly hydroseeded lawns, you will want to water 2 to 4 times a day for about 30 days. The lawn should look wet but not puddled. Rule of thumb: Ground should be wet all day. 6 am - 1 pm and 5 pm -8 pm are the most common times, though every lawn and every irrigation system is unique. Due to differences in soil condition and Ph balances, it is common to have small patches that do not germinate. Many of these areas will fill in when you begin mowing on a weekly basis. However, you must ensure that slow germinating areas are not caused by lack of water.
WHAT IS HYDROSEEDING? Hydroseeding is becoming more and more popular as an effective and cost
efficient means of establishing a new lawn. It is a process that utilizes a
mixed media of mulch, seed, fertilizer and water. After being thoroughly mixed
into a soupy consistency called slurry, this media is sprayed on the lawn by
machine for even distribution and maximum results. With consistent daily watering, sprouts will
appear in as little as three days and a fully established lawn could be
achieved in five weeks or less.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HYDROSEEDING Effective and Cost
efficient.
Protection of seeds from heat and birds during
germination process.
Soil temperature is maintained.
More even application of seeds than is possible with
broadcast seeding.
Especially effective in keeping seeds from being
washed away on slopes.
Provides added organic components to enrich the soil
after the lawn is established.
No need to remove straw as is the case with broadcast
seeding.
Retention of moisture as seeds sprout.
Allows for a better root formation as opposed to
sodding.
