Hydroseeding vs. Sod: Which is Right for Your NH Property?
Both methods can create a beautiful lawn, but they have different advantages. Here’s a look at the key differences to help you decide.
Sod Installation: The Instant Lawn
Sod is pre-grown, mature turf that is harvested in rolls and laid directly onto your prepared soil.
Advantages
The biggest benefit is instant gratification—you get a green, beautiful lawn the same day.21 It's excellent for erosion control on slopes and requires less intensive watering for a shorter period than seed.Considerations
Sod is the more expensive option upfront, both in material and labor costs. Grass type selection can be more limited than with seed.sement issues that can plague homes in our climate.
Hydroseeding: The High-Tech, Cost-Effective Method
Hydroseeding involves spraying a slurry of water, seed, fertilizer, and protective fiber mulch onto your prepared soil.
Advantages
Hydroseeding is significantly more cost-effective than sod, making it ideal for large properties.24 The mulch layer helps retain moisture and protect the seed, leading to a high germination rate. We can also create custom seed blends (e.g., sun/shade mix, low-maintenance fescues) tailored to your property's specific conditions. The resulting lawn grows strong, deep roots directly in your native soil.Considerations
Hydroseeding requires patience. While you'll see growth quickly, it takes a full season or more to achieve the dense, mature look of sod. It also requires more consistent watering over a longer period.
