All seeded areas must be kept continuously wet for 7-14 days for germination to be successful. Optimum soil moisture can be maintained with automated or manual irrigation systems or through natural rainfall. Soil temperatures need to be a minimum of 55 degrees consistently.

No, it is perfectly safe. The mulch is dyed with a green/blue dye that fades with sunlight exposure. As the mulch color fades, the seed germinates, replacing one shade of green for another. The commonly used components in our hydroseed slurries are not harmful to the applicators or clients. Safety Data Sheets are available upon request.

We order all seed on a per job basis. We can obtain all types of turf grass, native and non-native erosion control grasses/clovers as well as native and non-native wildflowers. There are a lot of options to select from.

Hydroseeding provides the most even distribution of seed over a given area size. Hydroseeding is also especially effective in making seed stick on steep slopes with the addition of tackifier.  If your site does not have an adequate water supply, dry seeding is a great alternative. If you need instruction on how to do-it-yourself, just call us, we are happy to guide you through the process.

Native seed mixes contain species native to the state California. Many projects will require the use of native species. However, natives establish more slowly than non-natives. Both native and non-native species are available.

Pricing is determined by various factors such as job size, seed mix, slurry components and where the project is located. We do not have minimum pricing. Superior Hydroseeding maintains a large fleet of different sized hydroseeders ranging from 300 - 3,000 gallons. No job is too large or too small for us to handle.
