What are the pros and cons of hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding is a great option for sloped yards, as sod might not root as well. Hydroseeding also traditionally creates sprouts faster than normal seeding—up to a full week faster. Additionally, you can customize your slurry mix with hydroseed, allowing you to create a mixture that will work specifically for your yard’s conditions. </p><p>It’s important to remember that hydroseeded lawns require a lot of water during the first few weeks of installation, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation window tends to be shorter than that of sod and traditional grass. </p></div>

What should I consider when hydroseeding?

• <div><p>Timing is key when determining the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-seeding-your-lawn.htm">best time to hydroseed your lawn</a>. It’s best to hydroseed in the spring or fall due to the already wet conditions of your lawn and the more mild temperatures. </p><p>Your local pro will also offer watering and fertilizer instructions for the months after your application. Make sure you will be available to water it consistently, especially in the first two to three weeks for best results.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before mulch?

• <div><p>While you don&rsquo;t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.</p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a pro for mulch application?

• <div><p>It can be tedious and time-consuming to install your own mulch and determine the ideal amount. A professional can help you ensure the right thickness and save you a lot of time and headaches.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep a gravel driveway nice?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-your-gravel-driveway-look-rock-star.htm">Keeping your gravel driveway beautiful</a>&mdash;or any gravel structure for that matter&mdash;does call for regular maintenance. You may occasionally need to add more gravel to low areas if you notice any pooling after rainfall. Gravel might also become excessively dusty over time. You can compact it with a mechanical compactor, which you can rent for around $80 to $85 per day.</p><p>To minimize maintenance requirements for your gravel, it&rsquo;s important to ensure your land is properly graded before installing the gravel. It&rsquo;s also helpful to lay landscaping fabric beforehand to keep it in place.</p></div>
