All across the state of Alabama, hydroseeding has become a standard solution for erosion control and grass growth for both commercial and residential projects. Given the other options on the market for erosion control and growing grass, such as sod and seeding, hydroseeding has set itself apart from alternative solutions because of its convenience when compared to them. Here is a guide as to why hydroseeding is so convenient in Alabama.
Speed of Grass Growth
One of the key features of hydroseeding that makes it so convenient in Alabama is the speed of project completion and grass growth for hydroseeding. From start to finish, typical hydroseeding projects can take just a few weeks to fully establish, and only a few days for grass to begin sprouting. While laying sod is effectively an instant completion project when it comes to the visual aspect of covering loose soil with grass, it actually takes up to a month for sod to develop established roots. This means that despite common opinion, hydroseed is in effect not any slower than laying sod, but it does have many advantages when compared.
Ease of Application/Adaptability
Another trademark feature of both commercial and residential hydroseeding in Alabama is its ease of application, which also makes it incredibly adaptable. The application process first involves clearing and preparing soil. Once the designated area has been cleared of debris and the soil loosened to better receive the slurry, hydroseeders then spray their hydroseeding slurry onto the soil. Hydroseeding slurries are a combination of water, seeds, and fertilizer, which is sprayed onto the prepared soil.
The nature of hydroseeding slurry application allows it to be a very adaptable erosion control and grass growing solution, because it can simply be sprayed on areas that would be more difficult to successfully sod, such as steep and difficult to reach areas. This process is faster and easier, requiring fewer man hours, which also helps make hydroseeding more cost-effective.
Affordability Compared to Other Solutions
As mentioned above, hydroseeding also has cost-saving advantages when compared to sod and seeding. With less expensive materials cost and fewer required man hours, hydroseeding is more affordable than most alternative solutions for erosion control and grass growth. Especially with commercial projects, these cost savings can make a real difference for landscapers and developers.
