Hydroseeding - who’s done it?

You got irrigation or a means to water it daily?

It also won’t root that well in short time.

What type and size of area?

It’s all about what type of seed you’re spraying (if you know what I mean).

You may want to use a tackifier too..

Oh and you have to water the shite out of it and pray the birds don’t pick the seed

Water is several times a day or just generously one good time a day?

Grade out the yard with a slight crown

That’s 1 and a half pallets of grass. Buy some sod and lay it. You and your husband could seriously do this In a day. You can order directly and get it delivered from delta sod or something.

Or hire some laborers from Home Depot parking lot for a few hours.

For 600sf you’ll get much better results with sod (go zoysia...it’s much more resilient than st aug)

Dan is good. You can literally hire some laborers and get them to lay it. Sod can be delivered directly. Look o. Facebook for any little lawn care company and ask them how much to lay 1.5 pallets of sod. 3 guys could lay that in 2 hours max. Might cost you 200 bucks total in labor (if that)

I’m simultaneously amazed and not surprisedar all that a somewhat knowledgeable response happened almost instantly.

We could probably just lay it ourselves since it’s so little. I was under the impression that sod would cost a shitload.


What should we lay first, the patio or the lawn?

I did it at a previous house. Wife was pissed for the first 2 weeks at the color of the spray. Said she could see the damn yard from the interstate (about 1/2mile away). Worked out great though. Best lawn in the neighborhood once the Bermuda was eliminated by the centipede I had mixed in the spray.

Sod is your best bet. It would be hard to get a company to hydro seed only 600 sq ft.

10 yards of dirt or sand is a frick ton to move yourself. Like a mountain of material that between you and the husband will take an entire weekend just to move and spread that

I’d pay someone to spread and grade, then lay the sod myself

Lay the patio first. Always do the Hardscapes before any planting or sodding
