A "green" hydroseeded church campus

1. Hydroseed Project
Geneva Baptist Church
West Campus

2. The Challenge
• Install a lawn for a newly constructed church
campus
• Sloping lot
• Very large property
• The congregation wants results – as quickly as
possible
The solution: Hydroseeding

3. Sloping lot
A steep grade makes traditional seeding and even sodding poor options.
Hydroseed will not be washed away by rain or blown away by wind.

4. The work begins
For a very large area, hydroseeding is a faster and more economical
alternative to traditional seeding or sodding.

5. Grading and Soil Prep
Once the ground is prepared, the project goes quickly

6. Hydroseed components are prepared
Chicago Suburban Turf Management owns the hydroseeding equipment
and has the expertise to use it.

7. Hydroseed Components are mixed
Mulch, seed, fertilizer and water are mixed to form a slurry

8. Hydroseeding Begins
Components are mixed and tinted green to blend with the landscape
while waiting for seeds to germinate

9. Hydroseeding
The slurry forms a thick mat that retards weed growth so the lawn will be
lush and weed-free

10. Hydroseeding Continues…
The seeds hold 10 times the water that regular seed
holds.

11. Project Complete
The sun sets on the beautiful new church. The seed will germinate in
less than 7 days; a beautiful lawn will surround the building in 3-4 weeks.
