Double B Excavations & Grade LLC
More Than Just Spraying Seed
WHY PROPER HYDROSEEDING TAKES TIME, PLANNING, AND EXPERTISE
When people see us out hydroseeding, they might think we're just spraying green stuff on dirt.
But there's a whole lot more to bringing a yard back to life.
Just ask our Pickerington homeowners who've been looking at weeds and dirt for seven months - they understand that doing things right takes time and proper planning.
We're not just in the business of spraying seed. We're in the business of transforming properties and giving families back their outdoor spaces.
It's about careful preparation, the right timing, and keeping everyone in the loop every step of the way.
Welcome to Double B!
Project Background
This Pickerington project is a perfect example of why proper hydroseeding matters. When we got the call, the homeowners had been dealing with an eyesore for over half a year - nothing but weeds and bare dirt where their yard should be. That's seven months of looking out their windows at a property that wasn't living up to its potential.
We understand how frustrating that can be. Your yard isn't just some patch of grass - it's part of your home, part of your daily life. Nobody wants to spend seven months looking at weeds, especially when you know what your property could look like with the right care.
That's why we took time to plan this project carefully. Hydroseeding was the clear choice here because it offers quick, even coverage and better results than traditional seeding. But like any good solution, it needs the right preparation and timing to work its best.
The Transformation Process
Let me walk you through exactly how we tackle a project like this. First up is getting that final grade just right. This isn't just pushing dirt around - it's creating the perfect foundation for your new lawn. Think of it like preparing a canvas before painting. If the ground isn't properly graded, you'll end up with puddles, bare spots, and all sorts of problems down the road.
Once we had the grading done, we moved straight into hydroseeding. But here's something most people don't realize - timing matters more than you might think. We purposely split this job into two days. Could we have pushed to finish it all in one evening? Sure. But when we hit 6 PM, we made the call to wrap up for the day. Why? Because respect for our customers means respecting their family time too.
Communication Throughout
One thing you'll notice about how we work - we're big on communication. And I mean really big. Every step, every change, every decision gets shared with the homeowner. When we decided to split the hydroseeding over two days, we didn't just pack up and leave. We reached out to let them know exactly what was happening and why.
This isn't just about being nice - it's about building trust and making sure everyone's on the same page. When you've been looking at dirt and weeds for seven months, you deserve to know exactly what's happening with your property. Every update, every progress report helps our customers feel confident that their yard is finally getting the attention it needs.
The Technical Side
Now let's talk about what makes hydroseeding work. We use specific equipment and a carefully mixed combination of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and binding agents. It's not just about spraying green stuff on the ground - it's about creating the perfect environment for grass to grow.
Weather plays a huge role too. That's why we plan our coverage patterns carefully. You might notice we left the hose out marking where we needed to finish up - that's intentional. It helps us ensure perfect coverage without any gaps or overlaps. When you're dealing with large areas like this Pickerington property, having a clear plan for coverage is crucial.
The results start showing up pretty quick too. Even after just one evening, we could already see promising signs. That's the beauty of hydroseeding when it's done right - you don't have to wait months to see if it's working. You'll start seeing progress within days.
Results and Timeline
Let's talk about what you can expect when we hydroseed your property. Just like in our Pickerington project, you'll start seeing changes pretty quickly. After just one evening, we were already seeing promising signs. But remember - this isn't instant grass. It's about setting up for long-term success.
Over the next few days, that green tint from the hydroseed will start giving way to actual grass sprouts. Within a couple weeks, you'll see real progress. But here's the important part - keeping the soil consistently moist during these first crucial days is key. We make sure our customers understand exactly what they need to do to get the best results.
Closing
Looking back at this Pickerington project, it really shows why taking the right approach matters. These homeowners went from seven months of looking at weeds and dirt to watching their new lawn come to life. Sure, we could have rushed through it all in one day, but doing things right means sometimes taking that extra time.
Looking Forward
If you're dealing with a yard that needs help, whether it's in Pickerington or anywhere else in central Ohio, don't wait seven months like these folks did. The sooner you get started, the sooner you can enjoy your outdoor space again. Professional hydroseeding might be exactly what your property needs.
We're always happy to come out and take a look at your situation.
