What Situations Make Hydroseeding A Better Choice Than Sod For A New Lawn?
Hydroseeding can be a great choice for a new lawn in a variety of situations.
Here are some scenarios where hydroseeding may be a better choice than sod:
#1. Large Area: Hydroseeding is a great option for larger areas, as it is typically more cost-effective than sod installation. This makes it a popular choice for commercial properties or larger residential properties.
#2. Sloped Areas: If your lawn has slopes or uneven terrain, hydroseeding can be a better option than sod. The hydroseeding mixture can be sprayed evenly over the terrain, which can help prevent erosion and ensure even coverage. Sod can sometimes have difficulty staying put on steep slopes.
#3. Customization: Hydroseeding allows for more customization than sod. The mixture can be adjusted to account for factors such as soil type, sun exposure, and climate, which can help ensure successful establishment of the grass.
#4. Access: If your property has limited access or difficult-to-reach areas, hydroseeding may be a better choice than sod. The hydroseeding machine uses a large hose to spray the mixture and it can be easily maneuvered in tight spaces, making it a more practical option for certain areas.
#5. Quick Establishment: Hydroseeding can still result in a quick establishment of a lawn. While it may take a few weeks for hydroseeded grass to become fully established, it will grow faster than traditional lawn seeding.
#6. Lower Water Requirements: Hydroseeded lawns typically require less water than sodded lawns, which can be particularly beneficial in areas with water restrictions or in areas prone to drought.
Overall, hydroseeding can be a great choice for a new lawn in a variety of situations. It offers cost-effectiveness, customization, and can be particularly beneficial for larger areas, sloped terrain, or difficult-to-reach areas.
