FINN HYDROSEEDING 101..How does it work? When is it used? What are the advantages?

The hydroseeding process starts by mixing consumable products to include: wood/paper fiber mulch, grass seed, fertilizer, lime and binding agents, with water, in the tank of your FINN Hydroseeder®. Once the mixture is fully blended it is then sprayed out onto the ground. The sprayed mixture on the ground is referred to as a blanket or mat. The material in the mat enhances the seed germinating process and will stimulate the seeds to grow a healthy & deep root system.

Finn Hydroseeding is used to economically seed large areas of ground requiring stabilization or lawn. The grass planting process is fast, economical and efficient and is used for a wide variety of applications from slope stabilization, landfill closures, lawn establishment, mine reclamation, sports fields, parks, cemeteries to highway construction. Depending on watering/rain events and ground temperature, a properly hydroseeded area will typically show results in as little as three days and can be fully established in three to four weeks.

Hydroseeded ground starts growing grass from the root first, allowing the root system to reach deep into the ground where moisture is at it's greatest, making a very drought-tolerant lawn. Comparatively, sod that is already established is forced to grow leaf stock while trying to establish a root system, making a solid sodden yard very weak in drought type conditions. A conventional dry seeded yard will have considerably less grass growth than a hydroseeded yard, of course, because hydroseeding provides a moisture retaining mulch that allows the undisturbed seed to germinate and root quickly.
