When should I first hydroseed my lawn, it was just freshly layed down?

Answer 1

To achieve the best results, before hydroseeding begins lawn areas should be stripped of excess grass and weeds, roto-tilled to relieve compaction, pH tested and soil balanced if needed and finally regraded with screened loam and compost materials.

Hydroseed can grow almost anywhere. You must water daily for the first two weeks, you will be able to mow it. Remember not to scalp your lawn; removing more than a third of the blade shocks the plant and weakens the turf. And keep your mower's blade sharp. When preparation, cultivation and maintenance are properly performed, you will enjoy a lawn as thick and green as the best farm-grown sod.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I have never had any luck with hydroseeding. The best thing you can do is either sod the yard, or prep the soil and use a core aerator to loosen the soil and make holes for the seeds to fall in. If you can find someone in your area that has a powerseeder on the back of a tractor, (I have one) , that works the best. Check with some of the local golf courses. They have the right equipment for seeding, and they can refer someone to you.
