Hydroseeding - prep, application, and advice from a PRO!

For my backyard renovation I had the same guy who did my front yard hydroseeding two years ago come back and do my backyard. This video shows how I prepared my lawn to get it ready for the seeding and the hydroseed application process. Also in this video he gives me instructions on how to care for my hydroseeded lawn and we also talk about some myths about hydroseeding with some pros and cons compared to sod.
Much of the advice he gives is good for anyone interested in what it takes to prepare for and take care of a hydro seeded lawn. But if you are in Utah and are looking for a Hydroseed company, Hydrolawn is definitely a good way to go! (not a paid endorsement)
I’m excited to get my backyard into as nice of condition as the front yard. If you have any questions about anything shown here, leave it in the comments! If I don’t know I’ll reach out to Joe and will get you the answer.

Most informational video I’ve seen ever in regards to hydroseeding. I live in central California here in the valley. I’ve had my home for over 23 years and have the worst. The worst landscaping skills. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@TyJack91]

Everything he said was 100 percent spot on. Dude is a master at his craft.

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

I do like working with him. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@drbond485]

Wow this hydro seed guy is most informative I have ever met any seed guy. I needed this information 2 weeks back.

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Yeah, Joe is great. I’ve had him do work for me twice and he’s always great to educate to make sure I know how to take care of everything. I’m glad he let me film his advice and share.

Great video

Интересное видео, спасибо!

100% correct

[@KJfreshh69]

Couldn’t ever go that short on my lawn. Tall fescue is where it’s at! Maybe it’s just a Tennessee thing tho. Love having my lawn green all year

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Having it short is definitely a different kind of lawn. I need to have it longer in the back for my dogs.

[@asemic]

nice

[@margarethfscarneiro]

It made me nervous to see it getting dirty on the wall and wall. Is it easy to clean? I am planning to use it in my brand newly built house... Don´t want to damage the painting...

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

I was a little nervous about it too. It washed right off, though. Not a problem at all. Even after it dried a little.

[@gillsejusbates6938]

all pigments used in the hydroseeding are biodegradable and water soluble, so even a little rain would have washed it clean

[@Agrimmer06]

Will it grow on the fence if you water it?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Nope. Didn’t grow on the fence. Would have been interesting.

[@Vanguard-gh8ov]

I hope you're joking

[@-k5703]

Ya it got on my shoe and now i trim grass off regularly to keep them clean

[@tmr1331]

I just purchased a hydro seeder What’s the going rate for hydro seeding per quarter acre?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Not sure about the per acre rate, but it was about $1,100 for about 3,00 square feet. Elite KBG

[@tmr1331]

@@DennisAroundtheHouse thank you

[@zodell88]

Can we get an approximate cost for the apporx. 2500sqft?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

It was about $1100 for 3k, elite KBG.

[@regiswschulz]

Does it wash off the fence and house easily?? Looks very messy….

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Yeah, it washed off easily.

[@mxzyk353]

Do you need a permit to use fire hydrant?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

I honestly don’t know. I would assume so, but he didn’t mention whether or not he needed one.

[@tmr1331]

Will if stain the fence?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

No. It washes right off. Even if it stays on for a while, it leaves no trace.

[@yohnivillarodriguez1]

Could we get a copy of that contract plsass

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

He goes through the contract pretty thoroughly in the video. I’m sorry, I can’t give it out.

[@SLAVONGT]

Я бы перед началом работы не поленился защитить забор от загрязнения 😁

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

It washed right off

[@SLAVONGT]

Отлично

[@user-rx4tl3tz9t]

I would like to know how much

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

It was about $1,100 for 3k square feet 👣

[@JA-wb5my]

Does this guy travel to Long Island? Lol

[@SomebodyCracked]

How much did he charge ?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

It was $1100. For about 3,000 square feet

[@tucobenedicto109]

Who's gonna clean the fences and house. Concrete plastic would have been a good idea!

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Wasn’t a problem at all. Washed off with the sprinklers and rain in no time.

[@tucobenedicto109]

@@DennisAroundtheHouse cool

[@edwardallen2696]

Seems like he’s putting to much?

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

No, it was a good amount. There is a fiber that’s included in the spray that adds something to retain moisture and help the seed germinate in, so it looks like a lot but it’s not all seed.

[@edwardallen2696]

@@DennisAroundtheHouse I’ve been working for a hydro seeding company on the weekends and we never seem to puddle it like that so I was just curious. Alls that matter is that it grows right.

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

@edwardallen2696 yeah, I’ve only had Joe do it so I haven’t seen it any other way. It did grow in really well so I was happy with it. Its all good!

[@edwardallen2696]

@@DennisAroundtheHouse nice!!!

[@braun11]

That contract is a joke! Water in the evening heavy soaked over night then let dry out during the day makes the seed dig in

[@DennisAroundtheHouse]

Well, it worked well the last time I had him do it. It might be because it’s hot in summer and dry, but also you don’t want to water so much that it washes the seed mix away. I’d be interested in seeing a comparison. This is the only way I’ve done it.

[@derekmoen5382]

Watering in the evening is the worst time to water!!!!

[@edwardallen2696]

Don’t listen to this guy 😂😂😂😂😂 it’s hydro seed it needs multiple short soak’s throughout the day.

[@azatordjonikidze3878]

Dirty worker.

[@Vanguard-gh8ov]

Id like to see you spray hydro seed cleanly

[@marcosnava4076]

Really good information!! Great for any buddy just started on this job like me🫡 Thank you Sir
