As summer rolls in, so does Alabama’s intense thunderstorms that carry heavy rainfall. With downpours comes erosion, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. Hydroseeding in Alabama is a process in which a liquid mixture of seeds, mulch, fertilizer, soil amendments, and water are sprayed onto exposed soil to grow perennial grass.
While the hydroseeding process might sound industrial, hydroseeding can be used from your front lawn all the way to large solar farms, giving it a wide array of purposes. In this blog, we will discuss how the introduction of hydroseeding will work to immediately prevent erosion in your lawn, field, or solar farm in Alabama.
Why Hydroseeding Is Important In Alabama:
Alabama is consistently ranked the 4th rainiest state in the country, with around 55-65 inches of rain annually a year, depending on the county measured. Hydroseeding benefits Alabamians by turning their excess rain into fuel for their slurry, which turns the slurry into fertilizer to create beautiful lawns and fields.
How Hydroseeding Works:
After spraying the slurry onto exposed soil, the green mixture sticks to the soil firmly and creates an internal web of connecting roots that act like a fence to anchor the soil to the ground, preventing erosion. As the slurry adheres with the help of rain, the seeds stay in place, which guarantees better results as these seeds create a strong anchor in the ground. The slurry creates a network of roots that stabilizes in the ground and eventually sprout into grass, creating lush greenery in your hydroseeded space. As the grass continues to grow, it absorbs rain shock and mitigates the effects of heavy, intense rainfall, making it less damaging on your property.
Why Hydroseeding is Beneficial:
Hydroseeding not only provides you with a lush, structurally stable landscape, but it provides you with financial peace of mind. In Alabama, Hydroseeding is one of the most affordable options for creating a lush lawn that gives proven results. Laying sod provides immediate results but is often overpriced, can erode with wind and heavy rainfall, and is harder to maintain and upkeep. Hydroseeding also improves soil quality, yielding for healthier crops and plants. Along with that, hydroseeding limits the need for expensive landscaping repairs to fix erosion, as it actively prevents erosion from the roots up.
