Why the soil matters before the hose arrives

Seed spreader, rake, lawn roller and seed bags on freshly prepared soil before hydroseeding

Remove construction debris and large rocks, loosen compacted ground and shape the surface so water drains without cutting channels through the seedbed. A soil test is the best way to learn whether lime or nutrient adjustments are needed rather than guessing, which is why East Tennessee hydroseeding specialists test before they spray.

See UT’s soil sampling guide.
