The good news is that late summer can lead into one of the best hydroseeding windows in Ontario — but timing, temperature and watering all play an important role.

If you are starting a new lawn or repairing a large area of damaged grass, you will probably find yourself comparing two common options: hydroseeding and sod.

The answer depends on several factors, including the type of grass seed used, soil conditions, temperature, rainfall and how consistently the newly seeded area is watered. Under favourable conditions, however, you may begin seeing the first signs of growth sooner than you think.

Construction projects can transform a property, but once the equipment leaves, there is often another challenge left behind: disturbed and exposed soil.

While proper seed selection, soil preparation and professional application all contribute to a successful lawn, watering during the first few weeks can make a significant difference in how well your new grass germinates and establishes.

As temperatures rise in June, keeping newly hydroseeded soil consistently moist becomes especially important.

If hydroseeding is part of your plan, there is one important step that should happen before the seed ever reaches the ground: proper soil preparation. Hydroseeding can provide an efficient way to establish new grass, but even the best seed, mulch and fertilizer cannot make up for poorly prepared soil.

A steep hill or sloped area can be one of the more difficult parts of a property to establish and maintain. When the right materials and application methods are used, hydroseeding can also play an important role in erosion control and slope stabilization.
