Hydroseeding Qs

Kristina

We just got a quote from a guy for hydroseeding our yard. No prep, just spraying. We've already graded etc.

This would be a "professional courtesy" sort of job. We have a job site trailer for sale and he offered $2000 for it. We're asking $3900.

He's charging us $700 which ends up being .10/sf. In my opinion, he isn't giving us ANY bargin and he wants the trailer for 2k??

Umm how about $2200 for the trailer AND give us the hydroseed.

What do you guys think? We are in the northeast. I think his price is high or at the very least, what he charges every other person. We always give PC to other trades.

The best time to hydroseed is when the weed population is at its lowest peak. Fall can be quite good. You have to be able to water those seeds on a regular basis-depending on your weather, it could be once a day or once a week. They can not dry out. It takes normally one-two weeks for the nurse grass to pop up-blue grass takes up to 6 weeks. The nurse grass will hold the blue grass until it establishes itself. Make sure you have 3 varieties of seed in the mix and not a lot of annual grass. (You want the grass to come back next year!) Good Luck. I think that the price is comparable. Make sure you get a warranty and you must water or have irrigation system in place. Good Luck. Michaelina
