Frequently asked questions

Hydroseeding FAQs

How much does hydroseeding cost?
Turf Doctor charges $1,400 per tank, which covers up to 10,000 square feet — a fraction of the cost of sod for the same area. Larger properties requiring multiple tanks are quoted accordingly, and a free property assessment gives you an exact number before any commitment.
Is hydroseeding safe for pets and kids right away?
Once the slurry has dried, typically within a few hours of application, the treated area is safe for pets and children. The mixture contains grass seed, wood fiber mulch, and starter fertilizer, with no harsh chemicals.
Is hydroseeding right for my lawn, or should I aerate and overseed instead?
Hydroseeding works best on bare soil — it’s designed for new establishment, not for patching thin spots in an existing lawn. If your lawn is mostly established with thin areas, aeration and overseeding are typically the better fit.
When is the best time of year for hydroseeding in Michigan?
Late summer to early fall (August–September) is the best window, because soil is still warm enough to germinate seed while cooler air temperatures reduce stress on new growth. Early spring (late March–May) works as a secondary window.
