G & G Landscaping offers a full range of lawn planting services to suit your needs:

Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding, also referred to as hydromulching, is a process by which seed, water, fertilizer and fiber mulch are blended together in a tank and are applied onto a prepared lawn area through a spraying hose. Once sprayed, the wet fiber mulch will help create a bond to the soil and provide the seeds with water.

Advantages of Hydroseeding:

  • If you are planting a relatively large area, hydroseeding can be completed in a very short period of time.
  • Hydroseeding can be very effective for hillsides and sloping lawns to help with erosion control and quick planting.
  • Hydroseeding will typically cost less than planting sod, but more than regular seeding.
  • Results are often quick with high germination rates producing grass growth in about a week and mowing maintenance beginning around 3-4 weeks from the date of application. Fiber mulch accelerates the growing process by maintaining moisture around the seeds, thereby increasing the rate of germination.

Slice Seeding

Slice Seeding is a method of seedbed preparation which uses a slice seeder or verti-cutting machine to cut the seed to grooves in the soil. The seed is applied with a broadcast spreader. Care is taken to assure the seed is placed only on the turf area and not adjacent shrub beds. G & G uses only high quality certified seed.

The slice seeder, with its fixed blades, works the seed into the top 1/4 to ½ inch of soil. No tilling is required. No mess or mud. Slice seeding work well to fill in a thin lawn or start a new lawn from scratch as long as the seedbed has no structural faults.

Sod

Planting your lawn with sod can have many advantages:

  • Sod is relatively easy to install and can be planted in a matter of hours.
  • Other than constant watering, sod needs very little care to establish.
  • Sod gives you an instant result, creating a green lawn within hours.
  • Sod can be planted in almost any season.
  • Sod is much easier to plant on slopes and hills than seeds.
  • If you are renovating a weed-ridden lawn, sod will cover up those old weed seeds (after tilling) so that they will not germinate at the surface.
