About Us
Hydroseeding is a process of mixing grass seed, organic soil amendments and fertilizer, tackifier and wood fiber-mulch with water in correct proportions inside a mechanical hydroseeding machine, then spraying the mixture or “slurry” onto the designated soil areas. Rapid Lawn Hydroseeding uses only top quality wood-based hydro-mulches and tackifiers they are far superior than less expensive paper mulches. Wood fiber hydro-mulches also have a much greater water holding capacity for fast germination and growth, and prevents soil erosion from wind and water. In fact, we are so confident in our results that we fully GUARANTEE that your lawn grass will fully establish within 1 year, or we will re-seed your new lawn for FREE (some conditions apply).
Hydroseeding and hydro-mulching can be used in all types of residential and commercial construction grass seeding projects, oil and gas site reclamation, slope protection and ditch erosion control, or even to replace an old expired lawn. Hydroseeding is a fast, easy and economical alternative to sodding. You can have a beautiful, healthy, durable lawn at a fraction of the cost of sodding.
Residential and Acreage Hydroseeding: You’ve built your beautiful new home and now it’s time to tackle the landscaping. A nice lush green lawn can greatly add value and curb appeal to your home, but have you checked out the price of sod lately…ouch! Wouldn’t you rather keep that money in your pocket, or put more money into other landscaping features such as an irrigation system, trees, shrubs, patios or a water feature? And what if the imported sod doesn’t “take” due to differences in soil types and other factors. How about DIY broadcast seeding? We’ve all tried it and failed…ending up fighting with a patchy lawn for years to come. Whether you have 1,000 sq ft or many acres, Hydroseeding may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
Commercial Hydroseeding: Have you ever driven by a ditch, construction site or overpass and saw the green “stuff” covering the soil? If so, this is called Hydroseeding. It works great for many different types of commercial applications and construction projects. We work closely with engineers, consultants, general contractors, landscapers and project managers to help re-establish vegetation and stabilize areas that are prone to erosion. If you have a project where you need to grow grass, control dust, protect slopes or prevent erosion, please contact us for a FREE consultation.
Oilfield, Drilling and Mine Reclamation: The Saskatchewan energy sector is booming! Oil and gas exploration and drilling is at an all time high. And Saskatchewan’s potash industry is growing rapidly with new potash mines being built and existing ones expanding quickly. This is great news for our provinces economy, but let’s not forget about the effects of this activity on the environment. Hydroseeding is a perfect solution for reclaiming and re-vegetating oilfields, oil and gas drilling sites, potash mines and coal mine sites throughout Saskatchewan. With the environment in mind, we work closely with site managers and project engineers to ensure the sites are returned back to their original state. Faster and more effective than conventional seeding, hydroseeding is the preferred method of re-vegetating your oilfield, drilling or potash mine sites. Contact us today for a FREE consultation.

What is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a process of mixing seed, fertilizer, tackifier and wood/straw fiber-mulch with water in correct proportions inside a tank, then spraying the mixture onto designated areas. Rapid Lawn Hydroseeding uses only top quality wood/straw based mulch, as it is a far superior product than paper mulch, and provides excellent results for our customers. Hydroseeding can be used in new construction projects or even to replace an old expired lawn. Hydroseeding is a fast, easy and economical alternative to sodding. You can have a beautiful, healthy, durable lawn at a fraction of the cost of sodding. Hydroseeding is a relatively new concept to Saskatchewan, but is widely used in the residential and commercial construction markets in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and in the USA. In fact, because of the overwhelming success in the United States sod farms have become virtually obsolete in some states.
There are reasons hydroseeding works so well. The seed is suspended in a nutrient rich slurry. The contact of the seed with the water in the machine triggers the germination cycle. Once applied to the soil, the material enhances initial growth by providing a microenvironment beneficial to seed germination. The seed is at an ideal depth for good results. The conditions are right to produce a lush green lawn in a very short time.
After hydroseeding, your property will have a nice green appearance from the mulch in the spray mix. The grass should begin to come up in 10-14 days depending on soil temperatures and moisture. Your lawn should be ready to mow in 6-8 weeks under good growing conditions.
Hydroseeding provides flexibility for homeowners needing different varieties of seed while at the same time being completely environmentally friendly.
APPLICATIONS
Hydroseeding has a Variety of Uses
New home lawns may be the largest single defined market for hydroseeding. Other landscape applications are also significant. Hydroseeding is being used more and more in new golf course construction. Each of these applications is usually irrigated, and the turf resulting from the application is usually classified as “fine turf”. Sod Quality Results can be achieved almost every time when appropriate amounts of quality wood mulch and tackifiers are used.
New highway construction always needs new grass planted. Grass is frequently needed on mine sites, and reclamation of mine sites has increased with the recent concerns for the environment. Utility construction areas frequently need grass after pipe lines or power lines have been constructed. The list of places for planting grass in these “non turf quality” areas seems to be endless. Hydroseeding is frequently used on these large areas to be more economical. Hydroseeding can work well on these “non-irrigated” areas, if the conditions are not too hot and dry.
We provide hydroseeding services to all sizes of projects, from large highway construction and reclamation to acreages and residential lots.
