Please follow our watering instructions to ensure you will get the best results possible.
Hydroseeding involves spraying a mixture of seeds, mulch, water and other ingredients onto soil to establish lawns or control erosion. Because moisture levels have a big effect in how quickly and successfully your hydroseed will grow, knowing how to water newly planted hydroseed is key!
When watering, make sure to use a light spray setting. You do not want to create overly saturated areas in your hydroseed. If you are using sprinklers, make sure the sprinklers can reach the entire area of the newly planted seed and look for areas where water may be missed or is being collected. Make sure to follow these instructions to the best of your ability to ensure you are happy with the results.
When is the best time to water?
The best time to water your lawn is early morning or late evening!
Watering Instructions
The First Month
The first 14 days of watering are critical! Make sure to water the hydroseed 2 to 4 times per day for the first 30 days to ensure proper germination of the new lawn. The ground where the seed was planted should be wet all day long (make sure that there is no standing water for more than an hour at a time).
Following the
First Month
To promote deep root growth, you will need to water your hydroseed less frequently. After the first month, water the hydroseed 2 to 3 times a week.
When to Mow
Do not mow the grass until it is between 3” to 4” high. It typically takes 3 to 4 weeks for this to happen. Make sure your mower is set to remove only the top 1/3 of the grass.
When to Fertilize
Fertilizing will be at the client’s discretion after 30 days but not before 30 days. Fertilize the hydroseed when it is relatively dry. Promptly water the seed after the fertilizer is applied. When choosing a fertilizer, look for one that is made for new grass, such as starter fertilizers with slow-release formulas. Once the lawn is established, you can fertilize once every season (except for winter) or three times a year.
Controlling Weeds
For 3 to 4 months following seeding, DO NOT use weed killer on the new hydroseeded lawn! This is very important because the weed killer will kill your new seed. Once the grass is established, you can use weed control products but look for ones that are designed for new grass.
