Hydroseeding
We offer professional hydroseeding services in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland and beyond. We ensure high-quality and sustainable lawn seeding for both private and industrial projects.
Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is the most efficient and cost-effective method of growing grass and controlling soil erosion, for reclaiming fields, residential lawns, landfills, large areas, slopes and hillsides, without the need for lengthy preparatory work. The hydroseeding method has been in practice since 1953, when the Bowie Industries company developed the first equipment for greening road slopes.
Over the last 70 years, the technology and materials have been constantly modified. This allows a high quality of work and guarantees better yields compared to traditional methods of lawn cultivation. Hydroseeding is essentially the spraying of a mixture of mulch, grass seed and various additives that provide optimum conditions for seed germination and root formation onto the surface of the ground. The area may be sandy, rocky, uneven, covered with debris or conventional topsoil.
Hydroseeding advantages
- Protection of seeds and soil from leaching and drying out
- A process that is safe for nature, animals and people
- Creating the right environment for faster seed growth
- Ensuring even seed growth
- High productivity and reliable results
Hydroseeding creates the perfect combination of materials and trace elements to increase the germination capacity of your lawn
The homogeneous mass improves the germination process and stimulates a healthy and deep root system for lawn growth
Application of hydroseeding
The use of hydroseeding is wide-ranging, from lawns in backyards and apartment blocks, to serious and complex tasks where for some reason the formation of grass is difficult. Hydroseeding is known to be the best protection against soil erosion.
Private areas
- Creating a lawn in any home garden
- General grass cultivation
- Soil rehabilitation after fires
Industrial zones
- Reclamation of metallurgical production waste
Urban areas
- Greening of sports grounds
- Greening of eco-parking spaces
- Urban greenery, parks
- Flower meadow establishment
Erosion control and soil stabilization
- Reinforcement of reservoirs, riverbeds, watercourses
- Greening of vertical structures
- Erosion control and soil stabilization on any plot of land
Other objects
- Greening of road and railway slopes
- Dedusting of dirt roads
- Reclaiming landfills for waste collection and management
Hydroseeding can, in a short period of time, provide a healthy and greener lawn compared to a carpet lawn or a hand-seeded lawn.
Hydroseeding provides that the roots grow deeper into the soil and prevents lawn (root system) shock that can occur when laying carpet lawn. Hydroseeding also spreads the lawn seed evenly and at the required volume. This ensures a nice and even lawn and there is no need for additional seeding, e.g. of unseeded areas that have not been sown by hand, seed eaten by birds or patches in the carpet due to root shock. With hydroseeding, excellent results are achieved from the first sowing!
A cost-effective and fast solution
Want a beautiful lawn in a short period of time? The cost of hydroseeding can be up to 50% lower than carpet lawn.
Hydroseeding is carried out in a short period of time, so the cost-effectiveness is also comparable to manual lawn seeding. Also, hydroseeding does not require any special ground preparation, as all the substances needed for seed germination and initial growth are added during the hydroseeding process.
How hydroseeding works
Hydroseeding is the process of spraying a mixture of grass seed, mulch and various additives onto the topsoil. This mixture is designed to provide optimum conditions for seed germination and root development. During the hydro-treatment process, the seeds are mixed with soil conditioners and nutrients to promote seed germination and root development.
The mulch that is part of this mix helps to retain moisture in the topsoil, protects the seeds from drying out and prevents erosion. The hydroseeding process is very effective as it ensures even seed dispersal, helps control moisture levels and protects the seed from adverse weather conditions and patchiness. It is a popular method for growing a variety of crops, including grassland, as it gives better results and productivity.
The history of hydroseeding
A hydroseeder is a technological device used to spray a mixture of seeds, minerals, water and binders - called hydrohumus - onto the surface of the ground to promote soil stabilization, erosion control and new plant growth. This technology is essential for both agriculture and landscaping, especially in areas where it is important to restore soil and prevent erosion.
Hydroseeding technology first appeared in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Its original purpose was to help control erosion and restore soil after deforestation, farming or construction. The technology was very effective because it allowed seeds and minerals to be spread over large areas at a time, with better results than traditional methods.
Hydroseeding is very popular in agriculture and landscaping, and its use continues in other areas such as road construction, forestry and environmental protection.
This technology has continued to evolve and adapt to new needs and requirements, integrating the latest innovations such as GPS and automatic guidance to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Hydroseeding has become an indispensable tool for soil stabilization, soil rehabilitation and the cultivation of new plants in various industries around the world. These technologies will continue to evolve, providing new opportunities for soil and environmental protection and improving production processes in agriculture and landscape management.
