Davis & Company provides hydro-seeding services across Perry, Howell, Brighton, Lansing, and Mid-Michigan for erosion control and grass establishment after construction or land work. Free estimates.
After excavation, grading, land clearing, or any significant ground disturbance, bare soil is exposed to rain, wind, and runoff. Without something holding it in place, erosion becomes a problem quickly — especially on slopes or near drainage areas.
Hydro-seeding is one of the most effective and efficient ways to establish grass and ground cover on disturbed soil. Davis & Company provides hydro-seeding services throughout Mid-Michigan, typically as a follow-on to excavation, land clearing, and site prep work.
Hydro-seeding involves spraying a mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier directly onto prepared soil. The mulch layer protects the seed from washing away, retains moisture, and creates favorable conditions for germination. The result is faster, more even establishment compared to traditional seeding methods — and significantly better erosion control in the meantime.
It’s particularly useful after any project that leaves bare ground — new construction lots, graded areas, cleared land, or disturbed slopes. It’s also commonly used on larger areas where hand-seeding would be impractical. If you’ve recently had excavation or grading work done and need to get grass established, hydro-seeding is worth discussing.

Hydro-seeding is most commonly needed after other ground disturbance work is complete. If you recently had excavation done, the disturbed soil around the work area is a prime candidate for hydro-seeding to prevent erosion and get grass established quickly. The same applies after site prep and grading — once the ground is shaped, hydro-seeding stabilizes it. For properties that went through land clearing, it covers the bare ground left behind after trees and brush are removed. From there, transitioning into regular lawn care keeps the new growth maintained through the season.

Under good conditions, you’ll typically start to see germination within one to two weeks. Full establishment takes longer and depends on the seed mix, soil conditions, weather, and how well the area is kept moist in the early weeks.
Yes. Timing matters — spring and early fall are generally the best windows for seeding in Michigan. We’ll let you know whether the timing works for your project.
For larger areas or slopes, it usually is. The mulch mixture protects the seed from washout, holds moisture, and produces more consistent establishment. On smaller, flat areas, standard seeding can work fine.
Keeping the area moist during germination is important. We’ll walk you through aftercare expectations when we do the work so you know what to watch for.
In many cases, yes. The timing depends on the condition of the soil and the project. We’ll advise on the right sequence if we’re handling multiple services.
We understand that outdoor and site work can be a significant investment. We do offer financing options — ask us about it when you reach out and we’ll walk you through what’s available.
