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.

Starting a lawn by hydroseeding is considerably cheaper than laying sod/turf and quicker than using seed. It is also used to spread mixtures of wildflower and tree seeds or turf grasses for erosion control. The process is called sprigging (or hydro-sprigging) when the slurry contains stolons or rhizomes instead of seed.

Hydroseeding is a great way to grow grass. The seed, fertilizer, hydromulch, tackifier and water are all applied in one fast easy step. The use of messy straw is eliminated. Trimming is quick and easy. Problems with difficult to seed areas such as hill sides, and narrow areas between the sidewalk and the curb are a breeze.  Labor costs are reduced.
