Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. It promotes quick germination and inhibits soil erosion. Starting a lawn by hydroseeding is considerably cheaper than laying sod and quicker than using seed only.

Hydroseeding is a planting process which utilizes a slurry of hydro-mulch and seed. The slurry is transported in a tank, either truck or trailer mounted and sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer.

The mulch in the hydroseed mixture helps maintain the moisture level of the seed and seedlings. The slurry often has other ingredients including fertilizer, tackifying agents, green dye and other additives.

Hydroseeding is used to seed grass on commercial sites, roadsides, golf courses, lawns and areas too large, inaccessible or unsuitable for conventional methods. It is also used to spread mixtures of wildflower or pasture grass seed for erosion control.
