What is Hydroseeding?

Hydroseeding (or hydraulic mulch seeding, hydro-mulching, hydraseeding) is a planting process that uses a slurry of seed and mulch. It is often used as an erosion control technique on construction sites, as an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed.

Why Should You Get Hyrodseeding?

The key to the effectiveness of HydroSeeding is the mulch that acts as the growth medium for the seed. When the right mulch is applied at appropriate rates, the mulch provides moisture retention for faster germination, insulation from temperature extremes to prevent seed dormancy, and protection from erosion. Unlike hay or straw that is frequently specified on seeding jobs, HydroSeeding mulch contains no weed seed. The HydroSeeding slurry can be adjusted with various additives to create the ideal growth environment for the seed. The other big advantage versus conventional seeding methods is the labor savings. This is because all of the ingredients that you want to apply to the seed bed are combined into the slurry and applied at the same time. Conventional seeding methods typically require each ingredient to be applied one at a time.  The HydroSeeding mulch breaks down and becomes part of the soil. Straw or hay is usually applied over conventional seeding applications and will need to be collected and removed once the lawn is established.

Why You Should Use Mulch:

Mulch helps to moderate soil temperature and retain soil moisture which is good for the health of your plants. Adding a layer of mulch to your flower beds also improves the appearance of your beds and suppresses weed growth. Additionally, organic mulches provide nutrients to your plants as they breakdown.

At Beebe Landscape and Design, we prefer to use 100% natural hardwood mulch. With natural mulch, you don't have to worry about dyes leaching or washing into the surrounding areas or any unwanted toxic chemicals. If you prefer the dyed mulch though you can specially request it. Some people prefer the way it looks and we aim to transform your yard into the yard you have always wanted.

With us, you always get a thick coating of mulch vs. just a sprinkle of mulch. So you know the mulch will last and not just run off in the next storm.

Aside from being great for the plants, quality mulch is a quick and easy way to transform the look of your yard. When laid down properly it helps shape a yard as well as creating a beautiful contrast to make your plants pop.

Do You Have Dogs That Create Running Trails?

Especially in and around Charlottesville, VA, red clay and mud is everywhere and if you have dogs that love to run back and forth creating trails chances are they are bringing red clay/mud into your home. A really great and economical solution is to lay a thick coating of mulch over the running trails. This not only will give your pups something softer to run on but will help keep the mud and muck out of your pup’s paws and thus your home.

If you don't want to wait for grass to grow we can lay down Sod which gives you instant grass. We buy from local Sod farms that grow premium grade sod that are cut into 10 square foot sheets. After we roll the sod out we give the sod a good soaking that will allow the grass to start and take root with your yard. Then with continued watering the grass will fully set in and the initial lines you see from the rolled sheets will disapear giving you an amazing weed free yard.

Benefits of Using Sod?
