Popularity of Hydro Seeding
The popularity of hydro seeding is skyrocketing. Customers notice that you spray it on, and before you know it a beautiful lush lawn is growing. Landscapers find that their customers love it, and it helps solve many of the problems they face.
There are reasons hydro seeding works so well. The seed is suspended in a nutrient rich slurry. The contact of the seed with the water in machine triggers the germination cycle. The mulch layer seals in the moisture, and holds the soil in place. The seed is at an ideal depth for good results. The conditions are right to produce a lush green lawn in very short time.
Hydro Seeding Is One Step Application
Hydro seeding is a one step application. One person can easily hydro seed using a Turbo Turf System. Mulch, seed and fertilizer are evenly distributed in the sprayed material. It is fast and easy to do. Irregular areas are a breeze. Hillsides, banks and other areas that can be a problem with other seeding methods are easy to do with a Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding system. It is an ideal system for landscape contractors and anyone with seeding to do. Hydroseeding is cost effective. The cost to hydroseed is 60-80% less than the cost of sod and a lawn can be hydroseeded in 1/3 the time it takes to dry seed meaning labor costs are reduced without increasing the cost of materials.
Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding
Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding systems can greatly lower labor costs. One person can operate a Turbo Turf Hydro Seeding System simultaneously applying hydroseeding mulch, seed, fertilizer, tackifier and water. The use of straw is eliminated. Hydro mulch is easier to store and transport than straw. It does not produce dust during application. It will not blow off, and does not need to be removed. Hydro seeding mulch does not contain weed seed as straw does. It won’t cause a loss of nitrogen as it decomposes as straw does. Hydro seeding has a neat green appearance that is far more attractive than straw. It is easy to understand why hydro seeding is becoming the method of choice of consumers and professionals alike.
