Hydroseeding Washed Out

Fri October 01, 2021, 08:46:57 PM by Griff012 | : 699 | : 3

Hi All,

3.5 weeks ago I had my 25,000 sq ft yard hydroseeded and experienced a rain event the next day. I understand it is industry standard to not be liable for mother nature and I have some work ahead of me. The pictures below are at ~2.5 weeks and it has filled in some, but Id say ~30% of my yard is not covered by grass. Given the state of the lawn in the attached pictures, I think im most likely looking at the following options:

A) respraying yard in spring, im assum...

2019 HS-300-EH that is for sale questions

Sat September 18, 2021, 04:52:06 PM by frieghtdog | : 518 | : 5

Hello, I have located a 2019 HS-300-EH that is for sale in MN. It has a John Blue 3350 pump with the Honda GX390 engine. On the TT website it states that model uses a MIG-30 pump. Which model is currently being sold? and what are the pros and cons to each? The machine looks to be lightly used and very straight. Is this a good starter machine? I plan to use it on my property then sell or and may experiment with some residential side jobs with it.

I have also considered buildin...

Ground Preparation Tractor Recommendations

Sun August 29, 2021, 03:26:15 PM by conc2steel | : 577 | : 1

I'm getting ready to purchase a tractor and disc harrow (or other attachment) for large projects (5-100 acres). I'm looking for any recommendations on Tractor Size and attachments.
I'm trying to address requirements that specify that the soil is tilled to 4-6" deep prior to hydroseeding. I have a Skid Steer Harley Rake that has been adequate for small (less than 2 acres) projects, but now need equipment for larger sites. I've identified that I'll get a Sides Lime Spreader to apply specifie...

4-ish weeks post-hydroseed, does it look as expected

Wed August 11, 2021, 01:47:37 PM by befl | : 829 | : 1

There are a few areas where the grass is wilting. I am quite confident that we are watering sufficiently - watered frequently/less deep first two weeks and last two have watered less frequently for longer periods.
Should I wait until end of month to fertilize?
What could be causing grass to turn brown/mushy in some areas? I think I'm in zone 6b (eastern MA). Thank you!
