In recent years a new generation of low-cost hydroseeding machines has become available. Coupled with the simple process, fast green-up, high survival rates, rapid erosion control and precise application in difficult areas like slopes, hydroseeding can provide landscape contractors with generous profit margins. This is why more landscape contractors are buying their own equipment and promoting the service, as opposed to sub-contracting the job. Take a look at the following equipment, which has been arranged by cost, so you can find just the right one for your next job.
