Notice how the area adjacent to the driveway is bare soil. This picture is a perfect illustration of just how susceptible traditional stolonizing is to water errosion.

Hydrosprigging can handle light foot traffic with ease.

Traditional stolonizing makes simple tasks such as fixing an irrigation head or weeding very difficult.

An example of the typical amount of exposed soil and erosion common with "plugging". Instead of staying in place, this soil will eventually finds its way into our homes, streets, waterways, and oceans.

"Plugging" any Zoysia grass is an absolute mistake. The "checkerboard" effect created is not only an eyesore, it's a maintenance nightmare. This heavy thatch buildup will need to be addressed soon or this installation will be a Disaster.

The lawn on your left was hydrosprigged by Hydroseed Hawaii. After much scrutiny, the neighbor on the right decided to call Hydroseed Hawaii. He won't be disappointed!

The hydromulch is holding these Seashore Paspallum sprigs firmly in place and retaining life sustaining moisture. (1 of 3)

Just 10 days after the initial planting, the hydromulch is breaking down into a nutrient-rich food for the thriving Seashore Paspallum sprigs. (2 of 3)

After 20 days the hydromulch is barely visible and the Seashore Paspallum sprigs are flourishing. A fibrous rood system is now the primary means of erosion control. (3 of 3)

El Toro Zoysia eight weeks old- This picture illustrates how inconsistent traditional stolonizing can be. It should be noted that un-rooted sprigs can be washed away with just one heavy rain.

El Toro Zoysia eight weeks old- This picture illustrates how slow the Plugging process is. Despite the erosion, mud, weeds, and long wait, this lawn will eventually fill in. However, the finished product will be of low quality.

This picture clearly illustrates the outstanding rate of establishment Hydrosprigging offers. This lawn, 90% established, had already been mowed once.
