Hydroseeding for commercial, roadway, and site development projects across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.
How it works
Professional hydroseeding
Herndon Inc. offers hydroseeding to help prevent soil erosion from damaging your landscaped areas. Using a combination of seed, fertilizer, and hydro-mulch, we spray the mixture over bare soil to keep the soil in place so it can promote germination and growth.
Hydroseeding is a quick and cost-effective method of preventing soil erosion while applying necessary soil amendments. With multiple types of hydro-mulch, we cover flat and sloped areas to reduce erosion.
Where needed, we also provide selective watering to help new grass establish. Grading for site preparation is available on request.
Benefits
Why choose hydroseeding?
Fast, even coverage

Our process
How we hydroseed
Once the site has been graded and prepared, Herndon Inc. applies a mixture of seed, fertilizer, and hydro-mulch evenly over the soil surface. Seed mixtures and application rates are based on project specifications, site conditions, and seasonal requirements. For SCDOT projects, applicable SCDOT seeding specifications and rates are followed.
Grade and prepare
The site is graded and the seedbed prepared so seed and mulch reach the soil evenly.
Mix and apply
Seed, fertilizer, and hydro-mulch are mixed with water and sprayed evenly over the soil surface.
Establish cover
The mulch holds moisture and protects the seed while grass germinates and establishes.
Permanent and temporary cover
Permanent cover establishes lasting vegetation on areas brought to final grade. Temporary cover protects disturbed soil between construction phases, when work pauses, or when frozen or very dry ground delays permanent seeding. Herndon Inc. provides both.

Common questions
Hydroseeding FAQ
What is hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a planting method where seed, fertilizer, and hydromulch are mixed with water and sprayed over bare soil. The mulch holds moisture and protects the seed while it germinates.
Does hydroseeding work on slopes?
Yes. Hydromulch clings to sloped ground. On steep slopes or areas with heavy runoff, hydroseeding is often paired with erosion control matting.
What size areas do you hydroseed?
Our 1,200 to 3,500 gallon hydroseeders handle everything from small disturbed areas to large highway and development projects.
