SPRING HORTICULTURE
​

Blending grass seed with topsoil for an easy instant lawn

4/25/2020

 
Mixing soil and seed tricks the seed into thinking it’s time to germinate no matter what time of year it is.

It’s easy! We dump the soil onto the parking lot.
Picture
Our soil is the best around- ”organicky,” completely Rock- free, and fluffy. We screen thousands of yards of it every other year. Run your fingers through it sometime, you’ll agree: “if I were a plant, I would LOVE to grow in this soil!”
Picture
I then kinda flatten the soil like pancake batter in the frying pan.
Picture
Ten pounds of seed per yard of soil gets carelessly dumped on the soil.
Picture
Then the machine work starts- turn the pile over and over repeatedly until the seed is uniformly blended.

Costs about $105-$115/yard, soil, seed, and labor to blend it all up. You tell us what kind of seed (light level), and we grab it off the shelf.

The combo needs to be special ordered and spread out within two or three days because that’s how fast the seed germinates when mixed up like this.

The seed/soil mix then gets spread on top of the existing turf and raked flat. No hay needed because the seed is INSIDE the soil.

​Try it!
