Hydroseeding/Seeding
When we hydroseed we put on a lot of water in the process so the watering requirements will vary depending on the time of year and the level of evapotranspiration. When watering it is important not to flood the hydroseed, watering lightly will keep the mulch damp and give you a quick germination.
Summer
We recommend watering twice a day during the summer however if you are restricted by water usage once a day will suffice it will just take longer to germinate.
Autumn
Early autumn can still be quite dry, so in order to get a good result, keep watering the lawn until you get natural rain. (twice daily is recommended).
Winter
During winter the lawn normally gets enough moisture from overnight dew to main good germination.
Spring
Equinox winds can suck the moisture out of the ground very quickly so early spring watering will be less than later in the spring as the season can change very quickly from wet to dry conditions.
Instant Turf:
If your soil is very dry, we recommended to water the soil prior to us laying the turf. After we lay the turf It can take a lot of watering for the moisture to absorb through the turf and into the soil. During the dry seasons turf can dry out very quickly so be sure to water it twice a day for the first week then you can drop it back to once a day until you get regular rainfall.
