Hydro-Mulching- is a planting process which utilizes a slurry of seed and mulch. The slurry is transported in a tank, either truck or trailer mounted and sprayed over prepared ground in a uniform layer; Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. It promotes quick germination and inhibits soil erosion.

The mulch in the hydroseed mixture helps maintain the moisture level of the seed and seedlings. The slurry often has other ingredients including fertilizer, tackifying agents, green dye and other additives.Hydroseeding is used to seed grass on commercial sites (highways/motorways etc.), golf courses, lawns and areas too large, inaccessible or unsuitable for conventional methods

Plugging-Grass plugs are are small clumps of sod (with some soil) that has been lifted out of a stand of grass. The plug is then placed in it's permanent location in your lawn. The closer you plant the plugs, the sooner they will cover the ground and the more expensive the project. Plant plugs on a staggered grid. If spacing them 6" apart, figure on two plugs per square foot, or 2,000 per 1,000 square feet. Plugs are also great for repairing damaged areas in the lawn. You can cut your own plugs from other areas in your lawn and then put them into the damaged areas. This ensures a good match.
