Achieve fast, uniform grass growth with expert hydroseeding. Our advanced seeding methods create thick, healthy lawns with minimal effort.
Transform your bare lawn into lush, green grass with professional hydroseeding services from Tatum Lawn Care. Our hydroseeding process delivers faster germination, better coverage, and stronger root systems compared to traditional seeding methods. With over 40 years of lawn care experience in Moses Lake and Grant County, we help homeowners and businesses establish beautiful, healthy lawns that thrive in our local climate.
Hydroseeding creates the perfect foundation for new lawns, erosion control, and large-area grass establishment. Whether you're building a new home, renovating damaged turf, or need quick grass coverage for commercial properties, our professional hydroseeding services deliver results you can see in days, not weeks.
Hydroseeding is a planting process that combines grass seed, fertilizer, mulch, and water into a nutrient-rich slurry. This mixture gets sprayed evenly across prepared soil using specialized equipment. The mulch holds moisture against the soil surface while the fertilizer feeds emerging seedlings. This creates ideal growing conditions that help grass germinate faster and establish stronger root systems.
The hydroseeding process works better than traditional broadcast seeding because the slurry stays in place during rain and wind. The mulch layer protects seeds from birds and provides consistent moisture for germination. Most hydroseeded lawns show visible growth within 7-14 days under proper conditions.
Professional hydroseeding requires the right equipment, quality seed mixtures, and proper application techniques. Our team uses commercial-grade hydroseeding equipment and premium grass seed varieties selected for Moses Lake's growing conditions. This ensures your new lawn gets the best possible start.
Hydroseeding creates perfect growing conditions that speed up grass germination. The nutrient-rich slurry feeds seedlings immediately while the mulch maintains consistent soil moisture. Most hydroseeded areas show green grass within one to two weeks, much faster than traditional seeding methods.
The liquid application method ensures even seed distribution across your entire lawn area. Unlike broadcast seeding that can leave bare spots or clumpy areas, hydroseeding delivers uniform coverage. This results in thicker, more consistent grass growth without patchy areas.
The mulch fiber in hydroseeding slurry helps prevent soil erosion on slopes and bare ground. This makes hydroseeding perfect for hillsides, ditches, and areas prone to washout during heavy rain. The fiber matrix holds soil in place while grass roots establish and take over erosion control duties.
Hydroseeding costs significantly less than installing sod while delivering better results than traditional seeding. You get faster establishment than seeding with lower costs than sod installation. This makes hydroseeding the smart choice for large lawn areas and commercial properties.
We mix grass seed varieties specifically chosen for Moses Lake's climate, soil conditions, and intended use. Whether you need drought-tolerant grass for xeriscaping or heavy-traffic varieties for play areas, we customize seed blends to match your specific needs.
Every successful hydroseeding project starts with proper site preparation. Our team evaluates your soil conditions, drainage patterns, and existing vegetation. We remove debris, rocks, and weeds that could interfere with grass establishment. Soil testing helps us adjust fertilizer levels and identify any amendments needed for optimal grass growth.
Proper soil preparation includes rough grading to eliminate low spots where water might pool. We ensure adequate drainage while creating the ideal seedbed texture for grass root development. This preparation phase sets the foundation for long-term lawn success.
We select grass seed varieties based on your property's specific conditions and intended use. For sunny areas, we use drought-tolerant varieties that handle Moses Lake's dry summers. Shady locations get shade-tolerant grass types that thrive with limited sunlight. High-traffic areas receive durable grass varieties that resist wear and recover quickly.
Our seed blends often combine multiple grass types to create lawns that perform well under various conditions. This diversity helps your lawn stay green and healthy throughout changing seasons and weather patterns.
Our certified technicians use commercial hydroseeding equipment to apply the seed slurry evenly across your prepared soil. The pressurized system ensures consistent coverage and proper mixing of all components. We adjust application rates based on soil conditions, slope, and grass variety requirements.
The hydroseeding process typically covers large areas quickly and efficiently. Most residential lawns can be hydroseeded in a single day, minimizing disruption to your routine while maximizing coverage quality.
After hydroseeding application, we provide detailed care instructions to ensure optimal germination and establishment. This includes watering schedules, when to expect first growth, and how to protect newly seeded areas. Following our care guidelines helps guarantee the best possible results from your hydroseeding investment.
We remain available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the establishment period. Our goal is ensuring your new lawn develops into the thick, healthy grass coverage you want.
New home construction often leaves yards with poor soil and sparse grass coverage. Our residential hydroseeding services transform bare lots into beautiful lawns quickly and affordably. We work with homeowners to select appropriate grass varieties and establish maintenance schedules for long-term lawn health.
Residential projects include front yards, backyards, and specialized areas like play spaces or pet areas. We customize seed blends and application techniques for each area's specific requirements and usage patterns.
Business properties need attractive landscapes that create positive first impressions while minimizing maintenance requirements. Our commercial hydroseeding services help office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities establish professional-looking grass areas efficiently.
Commercial projects often involve large areas that need quick establishment to meet project deadlines. Hydroseeding delivers the speed and coverage density required for commercial landscape success while staying within budget constraints.
Slopes, ditches, and disturbed soil areas need immediate erosion protection to prevent washout and sediment problems. Our erosion control hydroseeding uses specialized fiber mulches and fast-germinating grass varieties to stabilize soil quickly.
These applications often include native grass varieties and wildflowers that provide long-term erosion control with minimal maintenance. The thick mulch layer provides immediate protection while permanent vegetation establishes.
Existing lawns with thin or damaged areas benefit from renovation hydroseeding. We overseed weak areas with compatible grass varieties while the mulch helps new grass compete with existing vegetation. This process fills bare spots and thickens overall lawn density.
Renovation projects often combine aeration, fertilization, and overseeding to rejuvenate tired lawns. The hydroseeding process delivers better seed-to-soil contact than traditional overseeding methods.
Spring Hydroseeding (March-May) Spring offers ideal conditions for hydroseeding with moderate temperatures and increasing daylight hours. Soil moisture from winter precipitation provides excellent germination conditions. Spring-established lawns have the entire growing season to develop strong root systems before winter dormancy.
We recommend completing spring hydroseeding by mid-May to avoid summer heat stress on newly germinated grass. Early spring applications take advantage of natural rainfall patterns that reduce irrigation requirements.
Fall Hydroseeding (August-September) Fall hydroseeding often produces the best long-term results in our climate. Cooler temperatures reduce heat stress while fall precipitation provides natural irrigation. Grass established in fall develops extensive root systems during mild autumn weather.
Fall-seeded lawns typically show better drought tolerance and overall performance the following summer. The timing allows grass to establish before winter dormancy and resume vigorous growth in spring.
Summer Considerations Summer hydroseeding requires more intensive irrigation and care due to high temperatures and low humidity. While possible, summer applications need consistent watering to prevent seedling stress. We work with property owners to ensure adequate irrigation systems are available for summer hydroseeding success.
Traditional broadcast seeding scatters dry seed across prepared soil, relying on natural rainfall or irrigation for germination. Hydroseeding provides immediate moisture, nutrition, and protection that significantly improves germination rates and establishment speed.
The mulch component in hydroseeding prevents seed movement during wind and rain, problems that commonly affect broadcast seeding. Hydroseeding typically achieves 80-90% germination rates compared to 50-60% for traditional seeding methods.
Sod provides instant lawn coverage but costs significantly more than hydroseeding. Sod also requires intensive watering to establish root connections with underlying soil. Hydroseeded grass develops natural root systems adapted to your specific soil conditions.
Hydroseeding allows custom seed blend selection for your property's unique conditions, while sod limits you to available varieties. The cost savings of hydroseeding often allow larger coverage areas within the same budget as smaller sod installations.

Initial Watering Requirements Newly hydroseeded areas need consistent moisture for optimal germination and establishment. We provide specific watering schedules based on weather conditions, soil type, and grass variety. Proper watering during the first 30 days determines long-term lawn success.
Light, frequent watering works better than heavy, infrequent irrigation during establishment. The mulch layer helps retain moisture, but cannot replace adequate irrigation during dry periods.
First Mowing Guidelines New grass reaches mowing height approximately 4-6 weeks after hydroseeding, depending on grass variety and growing conditions. We provide guidance on proper mowing height and frequency to encourage thick growth without stressing young grass plants.
The first mowing should remove no more than one-third of grass height to avoid shocking newly established plants. Sharp mower blades prevent tearing that can damage tender grass shoots.
