SEEDING
Seeding
Drill seeding: is the preferred method of seed planting since the seed is placed in the ground, giving better protection and seed to soil contact. Less seed is necessary for germination and a good stand of grass. This process not only provides for a good planting success rate, but it also reduces your cost.
Hydroseeding: is called for in areas where soil has been disturbed. It’s an attempt to prevent erosion and establish new vegetation. In hydroseeding, seed mixtures combined with water are hydraulically applied to soil. The mixtures include the seed appropriate to the soil and/or weather conditions, such as warm- or cool-season grass seed, and can include such amendments as fertilizers, wood-fiber mulch, and tackifier, all of which help hold down the soil while plants become established.
Conventional Seeding: Florida Hydroseeding & Erosion Control has invested in a wide range of conventional seeding equipment to enable successful completion of seeding contracts on the broad range of soil types found within Florida. Sites may range from high quality sports pitches to large scale land reclamation schemes.
Fertilization
Fertilization is a very important component of plant health care in the landscape. Fertilization is necessary to supplement naturally occurring essential mineral elements in the soil to maintain an optimum supply for plant growth. Soil analysis (testing), combined with observations of plant growth, are the keys for the home gardener to develop the most effective nutrition program for the landscape. The mineral elements critical for optimum growth and development of landscape plants must be present in the soil and plant at proper levels.
