Frequently asked questions

A method where a mixture of water, seeds, mulch, and often a binder and fertilisers is sprayed onto the soil under pressure.

Mainly for slopes, dykes, verges, construction sites, parks and other places where it's hard to seed grass conventionally.

Fast and even distribution, less wash-out or blow-away of seeds, and better protection against erosion. It also helps the seeds germinate a bit faster.

Prices vary widely and depend on the project type, the mix, the substrate and the surface area. In general prices range from €1 to €12 per square metre. Feel free to contact us for a price indication.

It depends on conditions, but hydroseeding is praised for improving germination and growing conditions, often delivering faster results than traditional seeding.

Hydroseeding helps keep weed growth to a minimum. The thicker the mulch layer, the fewer weeds.

Yes, usually. Because the seeds are better protected and germinate more evenly, the area can often be walked on sooner than with traditional seeding.

Hydroseeding focuses on sowing grass with a thin protective mulch layer. Hydromulching applies a much thicker, fibre-rich mulch layer, mainly to protect the soil immediately against erosion. This can be with or without seed.

On extreme slopes, unstable subsoils or sites under heavy erosion pressure, mulching or seeding alone isn't enough. We then stretch a geotextile across the slope and apply hydroseeding or hydromulching on top. The vegetation grows into the textile to form one strong whole.

Hydroseeding can be carried out from early spring to late autumn, as long as it isn't freezing and the soil isn't saturated for long periods. Spring and late summer generally give the best germination.

For optimal germination, regular moisture during the first weeks is important, especially in dry or warm weather. On large or hard-to-reach sites we choose the seed mix and mulch so natural rainfall is usually enough.

First germination is usually visible within 7 to 14 days. A fully closed lawn typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the seed mix, season and soil conditions.

We match the seed mix to the project: erosion-resistant species for slopes, sport and play mixes for recreation, or flower-rich and native mixes for ecological projects.

From sand and loam to rubble-rich ground and steep rocky slopes. On poor or difficult substrates we add extra organic matter, fertilisers or binder to improve germination and adhesion.

Yes. The mulch, binders and fertilisers used are biodegradable. Hydroseeding prevents erosion, limits sediment run-off into watercourses and restores vegetation faster than traditional methods.

Good preparation is crucial: rough levelling, removing coarse debris and loosening highly compacted zones. Based on a soil sample we determine whether extra nutrients or soil improvement are needed.

Hydroseeding delivers a new, strongly rooting lawn after a few weeks, ideal for large or hard-to-reach surfaces. Sod gives an immediately mature lawn and is ideal for gardens, parks and places where instant results matter.

Right after installation, sod is visibly mature. After an establishment period of a few weeks, during which the roots bond with the substrate — the lawn is fully usable for garden, terrace or playground.

Gazonic operates throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. For larger or special projects other regions are negotiable.
