The Guide to Hydroseeding for Beautiful Lawns and Landscapes

It can be difficult to maintain a beautiful landscape and lawn, especially when you live in an area with extreme weather like Connecticut. CT hydroseeding is a popular way to restore damaged areas and promote healthy growth.

Hydroseeding is the spraying of a mixture grass seed, water and fertilizer onto the soil. This helps establish a thick and healthy lawn.

Colonel Landscaping has released a guide on hydroseeding care and maintenance to help Connecticut homeowners and business owners maintain their hydroseeded landscapes and lawns.

1. Watering

It is important to water the lawn properly during the first stages of a hydroseeding CT service. In the initial weeks, it is important to keep the soil consistently moist without becoming saturated. This will encourage germination, and provide the seedlings the moisture they need to grow.

Water your hydroseeded areas two to three sessions per day, for five to ten minutes each, depending on the weather and soil conditions. To avoid overwatering, adjust your watering program in response to rain.

As the grass grows, reduce the frequency and length of watering sessions while gradually increasing the amount of time spent on each. This will encourage deeper root growth, which in turn helps to establish a drought-resistant lawn.

After 4 to six weeks, switch to a regular irrigation schedule. Provide your lawn with 1 to 1.5 inches per week of water, depending on your grass type, local climate and specific needs.

2. Mowing

Let your lawn grow up to 3 to 4 inches in height before you mow it for the first time. This allows the grass to develop a solid root system.

Use a sharp blade when mowing and don't remove more than a third of the grass at once. A consistent mowing routine will promote denser growth, a healthier lawn and an attractive appearance.

3. Fertilization

Colonel Landscaping suggests waiting 4 to 6 week after your hydroseeding CT before applying the first round of fertilizer. This will allow the grass to establish and reduce the chance of burning fertilizer.

Choose a balanced, slow-release formula that is designed for the type of grass you have. Follow the instructions on the package to apply the fertilizer. Be sure to thoroughly water your lawn afterward to promote nutrient absorption.

4. Weed Control

Weed Control is a vital part of hydroseeding, since weeds compete with the new grass for nutrients, sunlight, and water. Hand-pulling unwanted plants is the most effective way to remove them in the early stages.

To avoid damaging the young grass, it is best to wait until the lawn has already been cut at least three times before using chemical weed control.

  1. Aeration and Overseeding

Aeration and overseeding annually can maintain the health and appearance of your lawn as it matures.

Aeration involves removing small soil cores from the lawn to promote better air, water and nutrient absorption. Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed on top of an existing lawn to fill in bare patches and promote a more dense, resilient turf.

Follow these tips for hydroseeding CT care and maintenance to enjoy a beautiful, lush lawn or landscape. You will be the envy your neighbors. A hydroseeded yard can be a great asset for your home and provide many years of enjoyment.
