How to preparE an existing lawn?
For damaged lawns, we recommend excavating the sod and then adding 4-6 inches of fresh topsoil.  Then, rake and roll the soil so it is level and not full of bumps.  After completion, lightly rake the surface to add texture to the soil so seeds can better penetrate.  After these steps are completed, the soil should be prepared for hydroseeding.

Things to consider:
     (1)     It may be necessary to install an adequate draining system if your soil floods or puddles.
     (2)     Check your Soil's PH level (should be around 7 PH).
     (3)     Consult a professional landscaper for other situations (please visit Mark's Pacific NW INC).

 

Before we hydroseed your soil:
Water your soil 30 minutes before we arrive to spray.  We can apply a better hydroseeding application to soils that are wet.  We do not recommend that you drench your soil, but apply just enough water where puddles do not form and soil texture is still firm (soft soil can leave footprints).
