It works great and is worth every penny. That hydroseed will grow grass on a rock. But you need decent soil for it to last.

I supplement the hydroseed with a bag of your own and fert with that scotts new seed fert. You will have an amazing lawn in a couple weeks. You need to water the hell out of it.

Fall is best..no dowbt as if you do not have a decent soil that can hold moisture, the summer sun will fry those tender blades of grass.

I just had a section of my yard done two weeks ago...in 5 days grass was growing...in 8-10 days you can barely see any soil.. in 14-21 days you have grass. You need to keep it wet all the time.

Make SURE your happy with the soil Prep before you seed. THIS is the secret to a healthy lawn IMO, Good soil.

The problem with seed is you need to PLANT it for it to grow. You just cant toss it in the top and expect it to grow great. You need to bury it. Hydroseed combines a multch with fert and seed and is is planted when it gets sprayed on. So right befor the guy comes to hydro seed...spread some seed around and let him spray over that.

Sharpen that mower blade my friend!
