Hydro seeding

The coverage area that five hundred gallons of hydroseed typically covers ranges from 6500-7000 square foot. This will depend mainly on factors like the seed type used, land contours and specific components in the hydroseed slurry.

Always use manufacturers’ recommendations and take into account particular aspects associated with this location when performing it.

The cost of seeding one acre using prices ranging from $20-$100 per gallon would approximately be $62,000 - $335,000. This is based on an average requirement of about 3100 - 3350 gallons per acre. The true costs are directly related to site-specific conditions as well as amount of hydroseed needed.
