Grass seeding

With the landscaping complete, it’s time to start growing grass. The seeding crew started by doing the final grading to smooth out the topsoil and remove rocks. Hand raking was done along the edges of the mulch beds and walkways.

We used the hydroseeding approach. A huge tank mixes together grass seeds, fertilizer, tackifier, mulch, and water. The mix is sprayed on the areas to be seeded. The tackifer is glue-like and helps the mix stick together and to the ground. No hay spraying is needed.

The final result is a greenish surface that almost looks like grass. Grass should start showing in 5 days. Lots of watering to do, and the need for a riding mower within the next month.
