Cost

One of the excellent benefits of hydroseeding is that it costs a lot less than using sod to create a beautiful lawn. In fact, hydroseeding will usually cost a home owner about 1/3 less than sod would cost them. This fact alone can usually encourage many people to choose hydroseeding to create their healthy, green lawn.

Time

Another terrific benefit of hydroseeding is that it takes a very short time to complete. Laying sod and planting grass seeds can take a lot of time, but spraying the mix of tackifer, mulch, and fertilizer on the area to make a lawn can be done very quickly.

And it does not take very long for a lawn made from hydroseeding to grow either. A person will generally see the first signs of grass growing after only about five to seven days. In about three or four weeks the grass will be ready to mow.

Specific needs with nutrients included

Different areas have different types of soil. Sometimes people can lay sod or plant grass seeds and they will not grow well, or they may not grow at all, because the soil lacks vital nutrients that the grass needs to grow healthy and strong. The great thing about hydroseeding is that the seed mixture can be tailored to the specific needs of the soil it will be sprayed on.

It would be very frustrating for a person to spend a lot of money on sod only to find out that it is dying because their soil does not have the right nutrients for the grass to thrive. But having a nutrient seed mixture that is specifically made for certain soil can encourage the grass to grown because it will provide the nutrients that are needed by the grass that the soil may not offer.

Survival

Compared to grass seed and straw, hydroseeding has a much better survival rate. This is a great benefit to using hydroseeding to create a beautiful and healthy lawn. Much of the reason that the hydroseeding grass has a better survival rate is because it includes so many nutrients that are very important for grass to grow. The grass is able to grow quicker and stronger since it is mixed with fertilizer.

No seams, full coverage

Another benefit to hydroseeding is that no seams will ever show. Many times when people lay sod the seams show for weeks and weeks. And sometimes with lawns that are planted by hand there are patches of grass that are thicker and patches with less grass throughout the lawn. Hydroseeding creates full and even coverage throughout the entire lawn.

Healthy

Not only does the nutrients in the seed mixture help the grass be healthy, but the grass that comes from hydroseeding never has to deal with any transplant shock when it moves to different soil. And with the full coverage that hydroseeding provides it can keep out seeds and other plant diseases.
