Hydroseeding is fiber, seed and water sprayed as a slurry. Enter your area and fiber rate to see how many 50 lb bags to order and how much water to haul.
How it works
Fiber rate per acre × your share of an acre gives pounds of fiber. Seed uses your rate per 1,000 sq ft. Water comes from a published 67 to 125 gallons per 50 lb bale.
Before you order
- Use the higher fiber rate on slopes, where bare soil erodes first.
- Keep the area damp for the first few weeks, and treat new seed like a fresh seeding.
- Mix fiber into water last so the tank does not clump.
Common questions
How much fiber does hydroseeding use?
About 2,000 lb per acre on flat ground, or about 46 lb per 1,000 sq ft. Harsh sites call for 3,000 lb per acre.
Does hydroseed contain seed already?
Only if you buy a premix. Otherwise you add seed to the tank at the rate on its label.
