The on going problems for home owners in the Midwest will not end until people are educated on what hydro-seeding is. The Hydro-seeding process is the mixture of a high blend of grass seed shade/sun mix for starters. This is a very important part of your new lawn even when not using the hydro-seeding process. People think that their grass is just all the same. It is not. The landscapers don’t tell you that their grades of grass cost different prices for them. The straw/seed scammer use a low quality seed as they just don’t care how it grows to begin with. See they don’t bother telling their customers about the seed because the straw/seed lawn application is so cheap they figure the customer will never ask about the quality seed, which most of the time they are right. They don’t want there customers to know the grades of seed will make the grow in rate faster and give a much higher quality lawn. The cheap seed does not come in and allows for more weeds to grow and take over the lawn. You see many also offer fertilizer services and will tell you this normal and with lots of applications of their high priced fertilizer service you will have a great lawn in two years! They will tell you this is the only way and there is nothing they can do about it.

The hydro-seeding lawn application will not grow the weeds or require the fertilizer to get the same lawn that costs the home $1,000s more to get the same end results. You see the home owner never finds this out until it is way to late. Some of the home owners never figure this out as they keep using the same landscaper they trusted to give them their services and advice on their lawn, so the scammer just keep laughing all the way to the bank on the same customers for many years to come. The new lawn straw/seed installation process is the scammer landscapers best money pit they could ever as for. They know if they can get that straw/seed lawn job they will have continued source of money for years to come just due to the low quality lawn they have installed.

The seeds that are general or low quality cost the scammer landscapers next to nothing per bag. In fact they don’t even get the blend sometimes. This is how cheap this process is. It is not cheap to the home owner who choose the straw/seed lawn installation over the quality process of hydro-seeding lawn installation. Not to says a hydro-seeder can’t use cheap seed, but even if they did the straw being eliminated in itself makes it 10x better then the straw/seed new lawn installation. This article is dealing with just seed side of things as far as new lawn installation is concerned.

You see the blends and quality level can make the difference of grass or no grass. You see shade seed can grow in direct sun, but sun seed will not grow in highly shaded areas. The scammer landscaper is not going to tell you this. They will tell you it was your fault for not giving your new lawn proper care. They will be more than happy to charge you again and give you another lawn application at their full installation rates. They really rip off and scam they customers in this situation as you can see. They will just keep telling you it is not their and there is nothing they can do about. You hear about this kinda of thing all the time when people get scammed into the using straw and seed type grass installation. The problem in the end is the customer has no idea that they have been scammed to begin with. It really is a shame.

What really is a shame is in the great-lakes area people are brain washed that straw and seed is the only way to install a new lawn besides sod. They can’t even get close to worrying about the quality of their grass seed as the whole process of straw and seed is so out dated but, these poor people don’t even know the high quality hydro-seeding new lawn installation process is available to them. I know how can a large group of people be taken advantage of so much! The problem is the scammer landscape company owner are not about to tell them about it! How you could think that a 1800s process of installing a new lawn is still the only process is beyond me. It is not the home owners fault, it is the under handed people not informing them of the fact there are much higher quality ways to get a lawn installed besides using the low quality straw and seed application process. Even they scammer cannot defend the straw and seed application and say it grows in fast with limited weeds. because it won’t do it and it can’t do it.

If you still choose to use the straw and seed application make sure they at least use the highest quality seed possible with out charging you any more then what they were going to begin with. Now, really there is no reason to use the straw and seed process unless you are going to install your lawn yourself. Don’t hire someone to do this process and charge you $1,000 when it costs them pennies. Any one can take hand fulls of grass seed and straw and throw it up in the air and then call it a new lawn. So, if your going to use this process of straw and seed just make sure you ask for high quality grass seed and lots of fertilizer. You will at least save the scammer landscaper fees this way, again anyone can jump around throwing seed and straw.

The worst part of all, if the home owner just added up the time and money spent they could have got a yard hydro-seeded for the same cost range when taking into consideration the time and money spent on fertilizer applications.

This addition just deals with the seed and the quality levels and types to allow home owners to make a educated decision. To many home owners have been treated like mushrooms for far to long, that is, kept in the dark and fed alot of cow poo.

Please remember safety first in all home projects.
