What is hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a planting method that sprays a custom-blended slurry of grass seed, wood fiber mulch, fertilizer, and water onto prepared soil in a single pass. It’s faster than traditional seeding, costs a fraction of sod, and produces a lush, even lawn in as little as 21 days.

How does hydroseeding work?
Seed, wood fiber mulch, fertilizer, and water are mixed inside a hydroseeding machine to form a slurry. That slurry is sprayed under pressure across your prepared soil. The mulch holds moisture around each seed, up to 11 times its weight in water, which accelerates germination and produces consistent, even growth from edge to edge.

How long does hydroseeding take to grow?
Most customers see green within 5 days. A full, mowable lawn typically establishes within 21 days during Colorado’s growing season; weather and consistent watering both play a role. Every job includes a site-specific Watering & Care Kit, so you know exactly how to hit that timeline.

Is hydroseeding better than sod?
For most Colorado homeowners, yes. Hydroseeding costs one-fifth the price of sod, uses less water after installation, and can be custom-blended for Colorado’s climate and soil. Sod delivers an instant lawn, but at 4–5x the cost and without the drought-tolerant benefits that matter here on the Front Range.

Tired of Throwing Money at Your Yard and Getting Nothing to Show for It?

You’re not alone. Most Colorado homeowners who call us have already been through at least one of these:

• “Sod is going to cost me how much?” A 5,000 sq. ft. sod job can run $4,000 or more. Our hydroseeding covers the same area starting at $800, with a lawn your neighbors will notice.
• “I tried regular seed and barely anything came up.” Bare spots, thin patches, wasted money. Our custom-blended slurry goes on uniformly, and the wood fiber mulch holds 11 times its weight in water, so your seed actually germinates instead of washing away with the first rain.
• “Nobody told me what to do after the seed went down.” We leave a complete, site-specific Watering & Care Kit on your doorstep at every single job. You’ll know exactly what to do and when.
• “Colorado summers kill everything I try to plant.” We custom-blend drought-tolerant bluegrass specifically for Colorado’s climate and soil. Less water. Less worry. More lawn.
