Hydroseeding Mulch & Supplies

Hydroseeding requires specialized spray equipment to mix and apply the slurry of mulch, seed, fertilizer, and tackifier evenly across the surface. While DIY hydroseed kits exist for small areas, most residential and commercial projects benefit from using a contractor with proper equipment. Coleman Moore Company can connect you with the right products and guidance to ensure successful results.

Hydroseeding costs 50–80% less than sod and provides more uniform coverage than hand-seeding. It avoids the transplant shock associated with sod, retains moisture better for improved seed germination, and produces healthier, longer-lasting lawns. The biodegradable mulch matrix holds seed in place on slopes and disturbed areas where other methods may fail.

Standard hydroseeding applications use 1,500–2,000 lbs of mulch per acre and are suited for flat to gently sloped areas with mild erosion risk. For steeper slopes, embankments, or construction sites requiring greater erosion protection, BFM and MBFM products are applied at 3,000–4,500 lbs per acre. Coleman Moore's team can help determine the right rate for your specific site conditions.

Hydroseeding is suitable for a wide range of projects including residential and commercial lawns, athletic fields, roadside vegetation, cut and fill slopes, and disturbed areas requiring erosion control. It is effective on both flat ground and challenging slopes or embankments where maintaining seed and soil stability is critical during establishment.
