Hydroseeding in Detroit: what to expect
Hydroseeding in Detroit sprays a slurry of grass seed, wood or paper fiber mulch, water and a starter fertilizer over prepared soil. It is popular for new construction, large bare lots, rebuilt yards after sewer or foundation work, and slopes where straw and seed wash away. The mulch holds moisture and the tackifier keeps seed in place during spring rains.
Results depend on preparation and watering. The crew should remove debris, loosen compacted clay, add topsoil where the grade is thin and fine-grade before spraying. Cool-season mixes of Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass and fescue suit Metro Detroit. Late summer to early fall is the most reliable window, followed by spring.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Hydroseeding itself needs no permit. If it is part of a larger earth change of one acre or more, or within 500 feet of a lake or stream, the project generally needs a Part 91 soil erosion and sedimentation control permit from the county or municipal enforcing agency, and seeding is often how the site is stabilized.
Michigan allows phosphorus fertilizer when establishing new turf from seed or sod, but bans application on frozen or saturated soil and requires cleanup of fertilizer on hard surfaces. Companies applying weed control for hire need an MDARD pesticide application business license.
