Hydroseeding is an excellent alternative to sod. While you might have to get your hands dirty, your affordable, beautiful lawn will be worth it. When you start with seeds, you can control each step of the grass growing process.

Is hydroseeding a good idea?

Hydroseeding allows you to revive your lawn and strengthen the topsoil for strong, healthy growth, but it's not for everyone. (Yes, there are still times when sod or dry seed may be the better option.)

How long does it take to see grass after hydroseeding?

Depending on the climate, watering, and seed mixture, hydroseed lawns typically begin to sprout within 5-7 days. If you continue with proper maintenance (starter fertilizer applied 3 times every 3-4 weeks) and don't experience any extreme weather conditions, your lawn will reach 3 inches long within a month.
