Hydro Seeding in Auckland: A Beginner's Guide
If you're looking for a fast and easy way to create a beautiful lawn, hydro seeding may be the solution. Not only is it an environmentally friendly option, but it's also cost-effective and produces quick results. Let's take a closer look at hydro seeding in Auckland.
What is Hydro Seeding?
Hydro seeding is the process of applying a slurry mixture of water, seed, fertiliser, and mulch to a prepared area of soil. The mixture is sprayed onto the ground using specialised equipment that evenly distributes the content across the soil surface.
How Does Hydro Seeding Work?
The hydro seeding process begins with selecting the right blend of grass seeds that will work well within your property's unique growing conditions. Once your preferred grass seed blend has been selected, we then use specialised equipment such as TurfMaker® to mix everything together into a homogenous slurry.
Once applied directly to your land or yard area, the mulch base helps to retain moisture and provide valuable nutrients for germination during those crucial first few weeks before roots are fully established. As new sprouts emerge, typically within one week after application, they benefit from the nutrient-rich environment which encourages roots to penetrate deeper. Within just three weeks after initial application of our turf/sod blend product people start seeing full rooted sprouts emerging.
Advantages of Hydro Seeding
There are several benefits to selecting hydro seeding over traditional sodding options:
- Cost Less than Instant Lawn: One of the most significant advantages of using hydro seeded lawns over immediately purchased sod solutions is its overall cost efficiency.
- Quicker Results: Hydro seeded lawns require less time to grow compared to other start-up methods.
- Environmentally Friendly: The use of native plant species used in our mixes makes this approach an eco-friendly option compared with other types such as fertilizer-heavy sod installation.
- Durability: Grass grown from hydro seeding results in a full, dense and established looking lawn that is resistant to weeds and other forms of erosion.
How Does Lawn Repair Work with Hydro Seeding?
One of the most common reasons people choose hydro seeding over conventional methods is because it provides a time-saving solution for reseeding an existing lawn.
