Located in the heart of central Texas, Austin experiences prevailing winds from the south approximately 80% of the year. These winds make Austin, Texas a prime victim for soil erosion.  Its geographic location within Edwards Plateau and the rocky limestone has led some of Austin’s vegetative species to include a variety of native grasses such as Buffalo and Bluestem. Trees prominent in Austin are Cypress, Cedar and Oak trees.

Hydromulching is the most cost effective option for establishing turf on larger projects. The process of hydromulching involves spraying a slurry mixture of water, fiber mulch, fertilizer and seed. There are multiple seed types available for hydromulch application, but the most common here in Central Texas is Bermuda grass seeding for the full sun areas. The slurry is applied from a Hydroseeder and is sprayed via hose(s) or deck gun. This makes hydromulching also beneficial for sloped areas and other areas with limited access for equipment. The ideal time of the year for the warm season turf grass seeding like Bermuda is during the Spring and Summer months when nighttime temperatures are above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. With warmer temperatures, the seed starts to germinate with 7-14 days, and you are off to a beautiful lush green lawn. 

Some of the  reasons to consider hydroseeding are:

  • Hydroseeding is fast.
  • Hydroseeding is efficient.
  • Hydroseeding is economical.
  • Hydroseeding is the process of combining the correct recipe of grass seed, fertilizer, mulch, tackifier and dye with the appropriate amount of water and spraying the application on the ground surface in a uniform manner to create a mat or blanket effect.

Hydromulching Services Seed Mix in Austin Texas

Hydromulch makes up the bulk of the hydroseed mixture. While many forms of hydromulch exist, one of the most common products used for residential and commercial lawns is a mixture of wood, cellulose fiber, and recycled paper. Many contractors use 100% wood mulch mixture. It is commonly found that 100% wood mixture is the best fit for most hydroseeding applications. The hydromulch is mixed with seed and water in the hydroseeding machine resulting in a thick slurry-like texture. The hydroseed mulch will act as a blanket to aid in the retention of moisture as seeds begin to germinate. This also helps to protect the seed from the heat as well as birds.

When it comes to the seeding, hydroseeding is not limited to just seeding new lawns, new construction projects, and lawn repair. You can seed almost anything with a hydroseeder such as wildflowers, pastures, steep hillsides, and even rough terrain is usually not an issue. While most applications are new lawn installations and lawn repairs, the seed mixture can be custom blended to suit your specific requirements. For cooler a cool season turf, we commonly use a blend of Rye grass or winter wheat. During the warmer seasons, Bermuda is the most common seed type used.
