How Hydroseeding Gig Harbor Will Lead To The Best Lawn

By Shanna McNeil


For any house-proud homeowner, the garden or yard is one of the most important showcases. Being able to display a lovely green lawn, perhaps with some strategically placed shrubbery and flowers, is one of the best experiences. Unfortunately many people find themselves with brown dusty expanses in need of green coverage. Fortunately when it comes to hydroseeding Gig Harbor has solution for the many individuals interested in lawns.

The most expensive and previously popular method of ensuring great grass coverage in the garden is to lay sod. This basically means laying a carpet of already grown grass onto cleared ground. While this obviously means instant results, it also requires the roots below to sink in and take to the soil particles below. This is the only way to ensure the grass will last.

Ordinary seeding of grass is another option that is a great deal more ancient. The results of this have often been unevenly covered ground. The seeds do not always germinate at eh same pace or at all. The process also takes a few weeks after which the results are likely to be unsuccessful. When hydroseeding Gig Harbor grass lawns, a spray is used to ensure an even distribution of the mixture consisting of mulch, seeds and fertilizer.

A major benefit of opting for hydroseeding has to be the reduced cost involved. The entire process costs less than half of what would be spent if sod was laid out. A smaller workforce is needed to complete the job of evenly coating the ground with the green mixture.

Homeowners have often been deceived by the lovely feel of sod being laid out. It takes several weeks to know what areas of the lawn have successfully allowed the roots of the grass to sink in. Hydroseeding is however more reliable as it only takes a week for you to know if the germination process was successful and determine whether there are any patches.

Another benefit is the assurance of even growth as the seeds are specially selected to ensure the best possible outcome. The growth will also have come from your own soil meaning less likelihood of rejection. This is a problem often associated with laying sod on soil that is inhospitable, possibly due to too high or low acidity. To guarantee better results with sod, a soil sample should be sent to a laboratory to analyze your garden soil and recommendations made on the best varieties, all of which costs extra to facilitate.

Another benefit to applying hydroseeding is that once the grass has taken root, it will clamp down on the soil below to prevent erosion when it rains. The foliage above will also prevent the wind from carrying off soil as dust. The method will foil any erosion as from that first week of germination.

For the ultimate goal of hydroseeding Gig Harbor lawns make it possible to end up with beautiful even greenery covering the ground. The results can be seen within a relatively short period of time and come at an affordable price. Just as with any other lawn, the grass will need to be duly cared for to ensure it lasts for a many years.
