Seeding
Gordon Energy now offers Hydro-Seeding, Drill Seeding, Broadcast
Seeding & Matting. We have the resources and buying power to
get the exact blend of seeding materials to meet your requirements.
We are experienced with the common seeds such as fescue, blue grass,
K-31, etc. as well as specialized native seeding. We have
several crews and the equipment to do multiple jobs at once.
We have even specially mounted lights on our seeders for available 24 hour seeding
to accommodate you during the short seeding window of time.
Hydroseeding is a proven method for establishing blends and
mixes of seed. Seed, fertilizer, mulch, soil conditioner, and
tackfier are combined with water and placed in our hydroseeding
equipment. When all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the slurry is
sprayed over the prepared site. A green "mat" covers the newly
seeded area. That's the hydromulch, and it performs these 3 valuable
functions.
1.
Moisture Retention: Seeds are kept moist because hydromulch
retains 10-15 times its weight in water. Water is the key ingredient
for a quicker and thicker seed establishment.
2.
Erosion Control: Wind and water erosion can prevent satisfactory
results. Hydromulch "blankets" the area and helps to prevent these
problems from occurring.
3.
Seed Protection: Hydromulch helps maintain soil temperature and
protects young seeds from the scorching sun. It forms an almost
perfect micro-climate for maximum germination. As your seeded area
becomes established, the hydromulch will gradually decompose and
disappear.

Drill seeding is an agricultural process
complete with a tractor and a specialized seeding
attachment called a drill. The drill uses
a mechanical mechanism to place seed in the soil.
The depth of the seed can be regulated as well as
the rate of application.
Because drill seeding uses no wood/fiber mulch in
the process the cost is generally 1/2 or even less.
Drill seeding is advantageous on larger areas, more
level areas and projects where obtaining adequate
water to hydro-seed exist.
Drill seeding is not an inferior method of seeding. Let us advise you on your particular
project.
