With the intent of increasing drainage from the lawn at Crescent Park, the Seabrook Landscaping crew initiated construction on April 7th, 2008. After significant measures were taken, including re-grading the soil (shown in picture two and three), hydroseed was applied Wednesday, April 23rd.

“Hydroseeding,” according to AllAboutLawns.com, “is a process by which seed, water, fertilizer, fiber mulch, and sometimes lime are blended together in a tank and applied onto a prepared lawn area through a spraying hose. Once sprayed, the wet fiber mulch will help create a bond to the soil and provide the seeds with a water retaining blanketing-coat while protecting it from sunlight, wind, and erosion. As the grass seeds begin to germinate, the fiber mulch will slowly decompose adding nutrients to the soil.”

Additionally, Greg ‘Woo’ Haskins, Director of Seabrook Landscaping, said, “Although the lawn will not be ready for use for another 4-6 weeks (weather depending), we should see a blanket of green appearing over the next couple of days.” Haskins continued by explaining, “The process has been very smooth and we have not been confronted with an obstacle we couldn’t conquer.” He concluded the interview with, “I am confident we have accomplished exactly what we set out to do.”
