The hydroseed guys came back and took a look and said it needs to be ripped up and redone. We debated on doing sod at this point, but weighed the cost with the other projects we's still like to do and decided it would just be best to hydroseed again. They will come back and spray for again for free, we just had to get the yard ready for it.
It didn't work the first time because we didn't know that we needed to use Round-up on the yard to kill any weeds. There was weeds in the yard when they came and sprayed, we asked about them but they said it would be ok. The heat was probably a big factor too, we had a really warm July - lots of near 100 degree days! I think we are in a lot better time of year now to seed again!
They hydroseed guys let Mike use their tiller and tractor to smooth the yard; which also saved us a lot of money.
First Mike cut the weeds as short as he could with the mower. Then he sprayed the Round-up to kill all the weeds and any grass that did grow. We had to wait 10 days and last weekend, 8/20-8/21, Mike tilled up the yard and smoothed it out. Then he sprayed Round-up again to make sure everything that was tilled up is dead too. Now we wait another 7 days for them to come back and spray - they are coming on Monday, 8/29 - WISH US LUCK on round 2!!!
