Hydraseeders Limited

Green Starts Here

Hydraseeding is a specialised technique, pioneered in the UK by Hydraseeders Limited in which seed and fertiliser combined with mulches, binders or stabilisers are applied to a wide range of terrains, with or without topsoil.
Hydraseeders are a leading hydroseeding contractor in the UK, delivering professional vegetation establishment and erosion control solutions nationwide. With over 30 years of industry experience, we have successfully completed projects across commercial, industrial, infrastructure and environmental sectors.

Our hydroseeding services provide a fast, cost-effective and highly efficient method of establishing grass and vegetation in areas where conventional landscaping techniques, such as turfing or dry seeding, are impractical or unsuitable. This includes steep embankments, roadside verges, rail corridors, construction sites, landfill caps, utility installations and large-scale development projects.

Using specialist hydroseeding equipment, we apply a precisely mixed slurry of seed, fertiliser, mulch and binding agents to ensure even coverage, improved moisture retention and strong germination rates. This approach allows vegetation to establish quickly, stabilising soil and improving site appearance in a short timeframe.

Dust Suppression & Erosion Control

Hydraseeders also specialise in advanced dust suppression techniques, providing reliable and compliant solutions for construction sites, demolition projects, quarries, industrial estates and infrastructure works.

  • Reduce airborne dust particles

  • Improve site safety and visibility

  • Support environmental compliance

  • Minimise nuisance to neighbouring properties

  • Prevent soil erosion and surface degradation

In addition to dust control, our erosion control services help stabilise exposed soils, protect slopes and embankments, and prevent sediment run-off into surrounding areas. By combining hydroseeding technology with erosion control binders and soil stabilisation products, we deliver long-term, sustainable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hydroseeding is a planting method where grass seed, fertiliser, water and mulch are mixed into a slurry and sprayed evenly over prepared soil using specialist equipment. This method promotes fast, even germination and healthy grass establishment.

The hydroseeding mixture is blended in a tank and sprayed directly onto prepared ground. The mulch helps retain moisture, protect the seed and hold everything in place, reducing the risk of erosion while encouraging strong growth.

Hydroseeding offers several advantages:
  • Fast and even seed distribution
  • Improved moisture retention
  • Cost-effective alternative to turfing for large areas
  • Effective erosion control on slopes and banks
  • Suitable for commercial, industrial and domestic projects

Hydroseeding can be applied to most soil types and is particularly effective on slopes, embankments and difficult-to-access areas where traditional seeding or turf laying may be challenging.

Germination typically begins within 1–3 weeks, depending on weather conditions, soil quality and seed mix. Full establishment will vary depending on maintenance and seasonal conditions.

Yes. The mulch and binding agents within the hydroseeding mixture help stabilise the soil surface, making it ideal for erosion-prone areas.

For best results, the ground should be cleared of debris, levelled and, where necessary, lightly cultivated to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

Newly hydroseeded areas should be kept consistently moist during germination. Foot traffic should be avoided until the grass is fully established.

Yes. Hydroseeding allows for customised seed blends to suit specific site conditions, whether for lawns, commercial landscapes or erosion control projects.
