We Specialize In Hydroseeding New Lawns
Searching for hydroseeding near me?
If you're a homeowner looking to install a new lawn, you may have heard of a process called hydroseeding? But what exactly is hydroseeding, and how does hydroseeding work?
Hydroseeding is a process that involves spraying a mixture (called a slurry) of grass seed, water, fertilizer, and other additives onto the soil to create a new lawn. The mixture is sprayed using a special hydroseeding machine, which combines the ingredients and sprays them evenly over the soil.
One of the main benefits of hydroseeding is that it allows for even and thorough coverage of the soil, which can result in a more uniform and attractive lawn. The mixture used in hydroseeding also contains nutrients that can help promote healthy growth of your new lawn.
Pineau Landscape Construction is a landscaping contractor based out of Billerica, MA and serving Lowell and the surrounding area. We specialize in installing new lawns and grassy areas using our hydroseeding machine. Whether you’re trying to install new grass on a hillside, along a drainage ditch, or in a large cleared area our hydroseeding machine can do the job quickly and plant beautiful grass in otherwise difficult or large areas.
What Are The Advantages Of Hydroseeding?
There are several benefits to hydroseeding your lawn over other traditional methods. If you are planting grass in a relatively large area then hydroseeding can be completed in a very short period of time once the ground has been prepared and the machine is setup.
Hydroseeding can be very effective for hillsides and sloping lawns as it can help with erosion control and is quick to apply. Hydroseeding will typically cost less than planting your lawn with sod, but it's a little bit more than seeding your lawn naturally. It is quick to grow with grass growth showing in about a week and you are able to start mowing usually within 3 to 4 weeks from the date of application. Fiber mulch accelerates the growing process by maintaining moisture around the seeds and providing much needed nutrients, thereby increasing the rate of germination.
Hydroseeding Is Great For:
- New construction lawn installations
- Hillsides and sloped properties
- Large lawn areas
- Ground remediation work
- Erosion control

What Situations Make Hydroseeding A Better Choice Than Sod For A New Lawn?
Hydroseeding can be a great choice for a new lawn in a variety of situations.
Here are some scenarios where hydroseeding may be a better choice than sod:
#1. Large Area: Hydroseeding is a great option for larger areas, as it is typically more cost-effective than sod installation. This makes it a popular choice for commercial properties or larger residential properties.
#2. Sloped Areas: If your lawn has slopes or uneven terrain, hydroseeding can be a better option than sod. The hydroseeding mixture can be sprayed evenly over the terrain, which can help prevent erosion and ensure even coverage. Sod can sometimes have difficulty staying put on steep slopes.
#3. Customization: Hydroseeding allows for more customization than sod. The mixture can be adjusted to account for factors such as soil type, sun exposure, and climate, which can help ensure successful establishment of the grass.
#4. Access: If your property has limited access or difficult-to-reach areas, hydroseeding may be a better choice than sod. The hydroseeding machine uses a large hose to spray the mixture and it can be easily maneuvered in tight spaces, making it a more practical option for certain areas.
#5. Quick Establishment: Hydroseeding can still result in a quick establishment of a lawn. While it may take a few weeks for hydroseeded grass to become fully established, it will grow faster than traditional lawn seeding.
#6. Lower Water Requirements: Hydroseeded lawns typically require less water than sodded lawns, which can be particularly beneficial in areas with water restrictions or in areas prone to drought.
Overall, hydroseeding can be a great choice for a new lawn in a variety of situations. It offers cost-effectiveness, customization, and can be particularly beneficial for larger areas, sloped terrain, or difficult-to-reach areas.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hydroseeding
These are some of the more common questions we're asked about the hydroseeding process.
A special hydroseeding machine is used to combine the ingredients and spray them evenly over the soil. The mixture contains nutrients that can help promote healthy growth and establishment of the grass.
Hydroseeded grass typically begins to grow within 7-14 days and can be mowed within 3-4 weeks of installation. However, it may take several weeks for the grass to become fully established.
Hydroseeded lawns require regular watering, particularly during the initial stages of growth. This typically involves watering twice a day for the first few weeks, then gradually reducing the frequency as the grass becomes more established.
Yes, the hydroseeding mixture can be adjusted to account for factors such as soil type, sun exposure, and climate, which can help ensure successful establishment of the grass.
Yes, hydroseeding is often more cost-effective than sod installation, particularly for larger areas. It is easier to apply, requires less preparation work, and less labor to install.
Yes, hydroseeding is a more environmentally friendly option than sod installation, as it requires less soil disruption and reduces the use of non-renewable resources.
The time it takes to hydroseed a lawn depends on the size of the area being seeded. However, it typically takes less time than traditional sod installation and most hydroseeding projects can be completed in one day after the area has been graded for drainage.
