• Can grow with limited irrigation
• Reliable method of establishment
|
• Slow establishment
• Exposed soil is susceptible to erosion & weed infestation
• Creates a "checkerboard" effect that leads to
maintenance challenges
• Labor intensive
• Dirt often finds its way into the home
• Unfinished look and bare soil is an eyesore
|
 |
 |
• If installed by a professional and meticulously maintained,
this method can provide a relatively uniform grow-in at
a descent rate of establishment
|
• Heavily dependent on irrigation
• Exposed soil is susceptible to weed infestation & erosion
• Extremely vulnerable to damage caused by rain
& irrigation
• Foot traffic will cause damage
• Low overall success rate
• Labor intensive
• Dirt often finds its way into the home
|
 |
 |
• Most uniform grow-in
• Quickest rate of establishment
• Prevents dirt from finding its way into the home
• Protects against errosion
• Shelters sprigs from predators
• Minimizes weed growth
• Proven method
• Cost Effective
|
• Requires expensive and highly
specialized equipment
which requires
constant maintenance and calibration
• Heavily dependent on irrigation

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.

El Toro Zoysia eight weeks old-
This picture clearly illustrates the outstanding rate of establishment Hydrosprigging offers. This lawn, 90% established, had already been mowed once.
