Are you looking for Hydroseeding in Sandpoint Idaho or the surrounding area? How about hydroseeding anywhere in North Idaho or Helena Montana? Then you have come to right place! On Track Lawn and Landscape Inc has the experienced to create an absolutely beautiful outdoor space to enjoy.
We truly believe that we have the best hydroseeding product in the area. We recognized a need for a company that had the experience of creating fantastic landscapes from the ground up.
For years we struggled to find a hydroseeding company that could create the results we were looking for. We spent several years perfecting our dirt work and irrigation thinking it was something that we were doing wrong while the whole time it was hydroseed companies that were using outdated techniques and products.
The results we were getting from them were decent and the average customer would not know the difference but secretly we were unhappy with the results. One day we had 3 projects that were at the point of needing hydroseeding and our hydroseed company was not able to get to them for a few weeks.
This forced our hand and we decided to purchase a hydroseed machine and start offering this service in the Sandpoint and North Idaho area. After purchasing our first machine we started talking to some of the well respected companies across the country and quickly found that the hydroseeding process we were used to was an outdated method and the products were outdated as well. We took what we learned and created our own unique blend of all natural products and we also created our own seed blend unique to our climate.
On Track Lawn and Landscape Inc. also has the experience to help adjust your irrigation system or even install a system for you. This combination of absolutely amazing products, techniques, and experience will help you create the best lawn possible for your area.
We have found that the prep work involved in getting a lawn ready for hydroseed is the most important part of obtaining a fantastic lawn. The second most important step is how the lawn is taken care of after the hydroseed is sprayed.
A lot of landscape companies like to use existing soil which in this area is usually high in clay and sometimes high in sand. When we install lawns we always add new topsoil. If someone wants an incredibly high quality lawn we will also add in coarse sand to the topsoil to assist with drainage and to help get the roots deeper. The proportions of sand vs topsoil are incredibly important. If soil has to much sand then on wet years the nutrients will be quickly washed out of the soil.
The actual part of mixing and applying the hydroseed, as long as quality materials and techniques are used, have little affect on the outcome of the lawn. We have done tests by spraying our hydroseed mix on concrete and kept it damp for a couple weeks after and have been able to grow a nice lawn on top of concrete!!! Also at any given time in the spring our hydroseed trailer has a lawn growing on it. The key components being the right amount of water and the right amount of nutrients.
Hydroseeding in Sandpoint or and the surrounding area is a cost effective way to get a fantastic lawn. Sod lawns cost upwards of 5 times the amount of lawns that are installed using hydroseeding methods. Hydroseeding is the process of mixing hydro-mulch which is essentially shredded newspaper or wood fiber, high quality grass seed, starter fertilizer, and a tacking agent if its needed. We then take the mixture and spray it at a very high pressure to allow it to embed into the soil and give it the best chance of rapid and strong growth.
There are a few things that you can do to help ensure a proper lawn is established. Everything starts with the topsoil and it is very important to make sure that the dirt you choose is very high quality and low in clay. A clay based soil can be used to build up a lawn but the last several inches need to be a soil that is higher in organic matter and lower in soil. It also is not a bad idea to add a small amount of coarse sand but it is not a requirement for a good lawn. Once we spray your lawn it is important to keep foot traffic to a minimum and vehicles should not be driven on the lawn at all.
When we first spray your lawn we add a starter fertilizer. It is a good idea to add another fertilizer treatment after the first couple lawn mowings. It is also highly likely that the dirt you put down has weed seed in it. These seeds will have the perfect environment to grow and you will see weeds come up with the grass. This is easily remedied by contacting our office at 208-597-3377 and press the option for our office and we will help arrange a broad leaf treatment to take care of this.
We have been installing high quality landscapes in North Idaho for years and we also have been maintaining them with our professional lawn care crews. Because of this experience we know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to growing grass. While a lot of hydroseed companies only hydroseed our installation experience has taught us what needs to happen in order to give you the best lawn possible. Some people just want a quick lawn so they can sell a home and some people want the best yard in the neighborhood. This is the reason that we offer different qualities of hydroseeding materials in the Sandpoint and North Idaho area.
We can also provide follow up services including lawn care after we hydroseed your lawn.
