How much to hydroseed a new lawn? Yes, it is winter now, with a blanket of snow to be found in many Mid West states. The time is still now to look into hydroseeding and all of its cost effective benefits for your new lawn. You, see if you live in the Mid West, especially in Wisconsin, you probably have never heard of hydroseed and hydro-seeded lawns and erosion barriers. The hydroseeding process is a simple process of blending high quality seed, mulch, fertilizer and water along with bonding agents. There is a company in the greater Milwaukee area that even adds a water retention agent at no additional cost to the builder or home owner. (Badges Properties LLC has a special lawn and erosion control division, which all they do is lawns and erosion control, they are known for using a high quality blend) This is then all mixed well into a green slurry in most cases of high quality hydroseeding companies. Stick with hydroseeders listed with the associations of hydroseeding professionals. When looking at seeding a new lawn the costs come from different areas.

Using Badges Properties LLC - Hydroseeding division as a greater Milwaukee area professional hydroseeder as an example for the following. They start at 12 cents a square foot and go down the more area sprayed. Your part of the country may be different you have to look around. Badges Properties adds agents to their mix which enhances their product, without adding to their customers cost. Make sure you are comparing Apples to Apples when getting quotes.

You also must be sure the company you pick is using quality top soil and enough of it. Some give low estimates to get the job and then to cut their costs use less top soil and poor quality products. The quality professional hydroseeder will always save you money in the long run, alot more money. When people use just straw/seed it can take so much more time and money to grow. Many times people get scammed by poor quality landscape companies using sales tricks and low prices to just get any job they can. Once the lawn is in it is to late.

The market for contractors in the hydroseeding field in Wisconsin, especially in the greater Milwaukee area is small, but they are there. Look into Wisconsin Hydroseeding contractor, association list and use the members as it will be worth it, just do a search under hydroseed contractor or hydroseeding lawn professionals, if you are in the Wisconsin or greater Milwaukee area, just add it to the search. Just type in Hydroseed Lawn Wisconsin. Even again look for companies that specialize in new lawns and erosion control via hydroseeding. There are alot of landscape companies who do everything, but very few that actually specialize in hydroseeded lawns. Again in a effort to point out a local Milwaukee area company, Badges Properties LLC is a company that even has a division that specializes in new lawns and erosion barriers for builders and home owners. There are some builders and commercial developers that don’t know they can now get hydroseeding and hydroseeded erosion barriers installed for much less than even the cost of straw/seed applications. They use these expensive straw roll our blankets and straw, which cost much more than if they would have hydroseeded. Now, if the builders don’t know about how much money they could save, what about home owners? Hydroseeding is the greatest kept secret in Wisconsin. If the people of that state and the greater Milwaukee area only knew the true benefits and money saving benefits of a hydroseeded lawn. The money savings is really the best to be had and builders can even get volume discounts depending on how many new lawns they need or erosion barriers installed. The cost going as low as 6-6.5 cents per sq. ft for your new lawn, the straw blankets and seed cost twice as much or more.

I still cannot believe the amount of people who are not aware of hydro-seeding. The process is just the best way possible to get a great new lawn for a great price. I have seen people spend $350,00 - $800,000 houses and then someone lets a person throw straw and seed all over yard and called that a new lawn. This is just so hard to think, someone would spend that kind of money on a house and new lawn, only to allow someone to throw unsightly straw and seeds every where. The benefits of a lush green lawn is enough reason alone to go with a hydroseeded new lawn, let alone spending far less for your new lawn increasing your cost savings.

This next up coming spring of 08 will show how many people have heard of hydroseeding. Once you have installed a poor quality lawn it will take years to correct it, even worse, have to plow under and start over! There is more benefits to the environment also. The straw blankets have a plastic netting in the middle of it that never will dissolve, some might be biodegradable, but the large added cost of green friendly straw blankets keeps most from using it. This just does not sound like a good idea to cover our ground surface with plastics that will never dissolve. Hydroseeding a new lawn or erosion barrier is ground and animal and family friendly.

People need to find out about hydroseeding and all of its benefits. Find a hydroseeding professional in your area. Even if the above company Badges Properties LLC is not in your area, give them a call (414-469-7102)they are so friendly and will probably still help you, they are in the online yellow pages under Oak Creek, Milwaukee area business. Ask your builder if they have heard about hydroseeding or Badges Properties LLC - Hydro-seeding Division. Remember use professional hydroseeder members.

Best of luck with your new lawn and may you find a professional hydro seed contractor in you area.
