CITY RESIDENTIAL LOTS

We suggest a minimum of 4 to 6 inches of sifted top soil for best results. If you hire a local contractor they will be able to haul in and spread evenly throughout your lot. The soil must be rolled for compaction and raked smooth free of lumps and level with exsisting driveways and sidewalks. For best results hydroseeding requires 1/2 to 1 inch of loose top soil making a perfict seed bed for your new lawn.

ACREAGE LOTS

For best results 4 to 6 inches of top soil is best, you may have to haul in some topsoil around your new home foundation for there will be clay contaminated soil from backfilling around the bacement. Most acrages have good soil that can be tilled and prepared for hydroseeding. Working the soil with a disc and harrowing works fine, some prefer to rototill then harrow smooth, you can turn your harrows upside down to do the final grade. The final grade should be quite firm, that can be achieved by repeating the harrowing process leaving a seed bed of approximately 1 inch. Your lot should be free of lumps, roots and rocks.
