Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is a fast, cost-effective method of planting grass by spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier onto soil. It accelerates germination (often in 7 days) and provides superior erosion control for lawns and hillsides compared to traditional seeding. Lewis Excavating has unique hydroseeding expertise for residential and commercial properties, specializing in bank stabilization, erosion protection and grass seeding which can have your grass growing fast, creating the beautiful natural yard you desire.
Hydroseeding offers numerous benefits for establishing lush and healthy lawns. Not only does it speed up growth, but it fosters stronger root development. It effectively reduces erosion, conserves moisture, and helps prevent weed growth, leading to a more vibrant landscape. Hydroseeding is also often more cost-effective than traditional seeding methods, making it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial projects.
How We Hydroseed

Hydroseeinf is a cost-effective to promote natural grass growth. It's often cheaper than sod per square foot and provides even coverage of seed over large or inaccessible areas.
With hydroseeding, lawns typically sprout in 7 days and are established within 3 to 4 weeks. While this can be a great look for your land, it is also esecially useful for erosion Control. The mulch and tackifier (a gluing agent) hold soil in place, even on steep slopes.
We begin every hydroseeding job with proper preparation, clearing soil and raking to assure the land is ready for seeding. We then take care to mix everything correctly, combining seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier with water at the right amount. We carefully spray the mixture onto the prepared soil, often with a green dye for even coverage. We'll leave your land ready for regular watering which is essential for the first 3-4 weeks
