Before the hydroseeder came in to do their operation I had a sprinkler system installed so watering would not be a problem of remembering. The hydroseeding was done the last 2 days of June 2006. Over the first 3 weeks lots of grass came up but a lot more weeds came up, probably because I had used poor black dirt. Three weeks after the seeding was the first fertilization of the yard. I should have mowed 3 days after fertilizing but due to some family matters I was not able to mow for a week. By that time the grassy areas were 8 inches high and some of the weeds were 3 feet high. I had also previously planted 26 White Cedar trees which were being dwarfed by tall weeds. I mowed 3 times in 2 weeks and the grass continued to get thicker and has chocked out many of the weeds. I have fertilized a second time now and the yard has turned to a lush thick like carpet. In previous years I had a problem with ants, this new lawn is so thick the ants don't have a chance. I now have frogs.
Description of Work: Went through a process of first spraying the entire yard with a Round-Up type product that killed off everything, then came in with a skid loader with a mulching attachment on the front and totally pulverized the whole yard into a plantless flattened black field. They also had a stump grinding attachment they used on a dozen stumps from trees I had previously had taken down this spring. Then the yard was sprayed with this water-grass seed-hydromulch and fertilizer mix which left it a light green color. I had earlier in the spring had a different company drop off 10 full loads of black dirt and then had it spread. If I had known earlier that the Hydroseeder also had black dirt I would have used them for it. In hindsight I found that the hydroseeders black dirt would have been better (weed seed free) and less expensive.

JEFF WAS EXTREMELY EASY TO WORK WITH AND VERY FLEXIBLE. WE ASKED HIM TO RESCHEDULE THE SEEDING WORK SEVERAL TIMES (DUE TO SOME PROBLEMS WITH WORK A DIFFERENT COMPANY HAD DONE) AND HE TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE. JEFF WAS VERY HELPFUL, EXPLAINED EVERYTHING, GAVE US OPTIONS, AND DID THE WORK WHEN AND HOW HE SAID HE WOULD.
Description of Work: THE COMPANY SPREAD BLACK DIRT AND HYDRO SEEDING OVER AN ACRE OF GRASS.
