If you like instant savings and you have some extra time and patience, then this popular procedure is just what you’re looking for. Hydro seed is a blend of water, grass seed (any blend), fertilizer and a recycled paper mulch. All the products are added to our machine where they are mixed evenly and then the product is applied with a hose. Since there is water in the mixture, there is no need to water right away. Also, the mulch protects your newly seeded lawn from erosion, high winds, birds, and provides additional moisture retention. This means less water which equals lower water bills. You can plan on saving 30-40 percent over the price of the initial installation price of sod, not to mention the 50-60 percent water savings. You can expect to see green fuzz in 10-15 days and should be able to start mowing and using your lawn in 60 days.
