Save Money With Hydroseed

This is a project we just completed which is a good example of how hydroseed can save you money.



Our customer is building a new home and doing a lot of work himself to save money.   We installed the irrigation system, he brought dirt in and did most of the grading himself,  then we sprayed his lawn area with hydroseed.

He has around 11,000 square feet of lawn area.     Existing irrigation was crucial for this project.  Can you imagine dragging hoses around to water 11,000 square feet of lawn a day.... Yikes!  We have the irrigation controller set to come on 4 times a day to keep the hydroseed mix wet so the seed will germinate.

I hope he has his mower tuned up because he should be mowing it in about 3 weeks!



Here are some pictures of the final product about 2 months after we sprayed the hydroseed.



The proof is in the pudding as they say.


He had 13,000 square feet of area

that needed grass.   We calculated
the savings of hydroseed over sod.


and we probably saved our customer

close to $6,000.00!

That's money in his pocket!

OLM "Summer Projects"

I enjoy writing for the blog and giving people ideas to improve their landscape.  

It's also neat to "see the results" of the different projects that we cover in the blog.  In the form of a "final product.

I guess it validates what we write and shows folks who have a green thumb that these ideas work and they truly make a difference in improving your landscape.

The proof is in the pudding as they say...  Here are some of the projects that we've been working on this summer.  

I hope they inspire you to start or continue your landscape projects!

One of our most popular posts is our "paver patio" post.   Here is a paver patio that we installed for some folks to go from their back yard patio, around their flower beds and into their front yard.








Eventually, we want to tear out the concrete patio and finish the entire patio with landscape pavers!  
Barking Jobs!

We've blogged about the advantages of beauty bark and mulch. 

 Here are some of the people who took advantage of great bark prices and made their properties look great!



Irrigation repair and maintenance:   

The pacific northwest get's a lot of rain every year.  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)



However, the weather does eventually get warm enough to warrant irrigation.  









And if you don't have it... you'll be wishing you did.  



Or at least your plants and grass will be wishing they did.



Here we are, making sure everything stays green in the Evergreen State!






No matter what your project is.... give us a call for a free estimate and see how we can help you accomplish your landscaping goals!
