We can also handle site preparation, grading, topsoil installation, and sod installation based on your property, budget, and timeline.
Hydroseeding is a practical, cost-conscious method of establishing grass by spraying a blended slurry of seed, water, fertilizer and mulch over prepared soil. It is often well suited to new construction, larger properties, disturbed ground and landscape restoration where sod is not required for an immediate finished appearance.
Atlantic Hardscape & Concrete provides residential and commercial hydroseeding services in Fredericton, New Brunswick and nearby communities. We can coordinate the work needed before application, including site preparation, grading and topsoil, so the seed is applied to a suitable growing surface.
We also provide sod installation, allowing us to recommend the new lawn installation method that best fits the property, budget, access, appearance goals and timeline.
Hydroseeding, also called hydraulic seeding or spray-on grass seed is a turf establishment process that applies a specially prepared mixture of:
The slurry is sprayed evenly over properly graded and prepared topsoil. The mulch helps retain moisture and keep seed in place during germination. Tackifier can improve adhesion on appropriate slopes or exposed areas. Good seed-to-soil contact, suitable weather and consistent watering all affect the final result. Sites with active erosion may need additional erosion-control materials.
Compared with installed sod, this method can be a more economical choice for covering large or irregular areas. Key benefits include:
We install both hydroseed and sod, and neither is right for every property. The main differences are upfront cost, how quickly the area looks finished and how much establishment time and care are required.
This method may be the better fit when you want a more budget conscious way to establish grass and can allow time for germination and coverage to develop. It is especially practical for larger sites because the mixture can be applied efficiently without transporting and fitting individual rolls of turf.
Exact pricing depends on area size, site access, slope, soil condition, grading, topsoil and the seed blend selected. It is commonly considered for:
Hydroseeded areas need consistent moisture during germination and should be protected from traffic while the grass establishes. Watering recommendations vary with temperature, wind, rainfall, soil and seed type.
Sod is often the better choice when an immediate green, finished appearance is the priority. It can be useful for smaller or highly visible areas, or where the landscape needs to look complete as soon as installation is finished.
Because sod must be grown, harvested, transported, cut and fitted, it generally has a higher upfront cost than a hydroseed application. It still requires prompt watering, close soil contact and time for the roots to establish before regular use.
Atlantic Hardscape & Concrete can compare both options based on the site rather than recommending one method for every project.
