Frequently Asked Questions

Our FAQ section covers common inquiries about our hydroseeding services to help you get the answers you need!
HYDROSEEDING: \hi-dro-seeding\ (verb) The process of combining seed, mulch, fertilizer, and healthy soil amendments with water to mix in a Hydroseeder® tank to form a thick slurry. This slurry is applied with pressure to the surface for seed germination and turf development.
Yes, but we do not recommend it. If you decide to it is essential to use a fungicide to control fungus due to the hot humid weather.
You should not see many weeds at all within the first month of Hydro Seeding. We use a weed control to control crabgrass and many other weeds during the germination period.
Hydroseed will do better with good seed to soil contact. If your lawn is thin we recommend de-thatching or core aerating to bring soil to the surface before we hydroseed.
This is the most important thing you need to do for the first few weeks. If the seed is not watered adequately it will not grow and may die. We offer a Co-polymer gel that will help retain moisture.
The grass is thicker because it is maintaining more moisture; you will need to increase your watering for the thinner areas. Usually the areas out of direct sunlight are thicker.
We use premium quality certified seed with lateral spread technology. Typically our mixtures consist of Turf Type Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass.
In some cases same day service if called by 8:30 am. In most cases we can hydroseed your project within 1-3 days of notification.
We accept cash, check, VISA, MasterCard and Discover upon delivery.

No. Hydroseed is simply a mixture of grass seed, starter fertilizer, water and hydro mulch made from wood fibers that is dyed green with a dye similar to food coloring.
In our region hydroseed can be applied anytime between April and October. Late summer early fall is the best time due to the warm moist soil conditions and less weed competition.
Soil Testing is an inexpensive way to find out if your soil is suitable to withstand a healthy lawn. See our Soil Testing page for more information.
Yes & No – Most lawn grasses are full-sun plants and do best in bright light. Even shade-tolerant grasses need at least three hours of filtered sunlight a day. You may find it to thin out over time.
This is usually due to a lack of sun-light. This area stays moist longer and may be acidic.
It will need to dry completely and then you can walk on it only as necessary until the first mowing.
No. We use 100% wood fiber mulch along with growth stimulants, weed control, lime, and other additives to give you the best lawn possible. Other contractors may use a news paper blend mulch with no other growth enhancing additives.
A good quality hydroseeding job in our area is typically priced between 12 and 26 cents a square foot depending on how big or small the job is, proximity to a water fill location, and type of seed and other materials being used.
A reputable Hydroseeding Professional should always offer some sort of guarantee as long as the customer follows directions provided on how to grow in their new lawn. There are conditions that a contractor can not be liable for. Always Green offers a Limited Guarantee.

Depending on the soil temperature, weather conditions and how much it has been watered, the seed should germinate anywhere from 5 to 10 days.
