A Smarter Way to Install a New Lawn in Colorado Springs
When most homeowners think about getting a new lawn, sod installation is usually the first solution that comes to mind. But sod isn't your only option.
You Can Grow Your New Lawn Instead.
Hydroseeding is a professional lawn installation method that allows grass to germinate and establish directly in your soil. Taravella’s Hydro-Turf has been helping Colorado property owners establish beautiful lawns for over 40 years.
Hydroseeding can be an excellent choice for:
- New lawn installation
- New construction homes
- Lawn replacement
- Dead or damaged yards
- Large residential properties
- Commercial properties
- Acreage
- Slopes and difficult terrain
- Native grass areas
- Drought-tolerant grass applications
If you're searching for new lawn installation in Colorado Springs, hydroseeding may provide the lawn you want without paying the premium associated with sod.
What Is Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding combines grass seed, hydromulch, fertilizer and water into a specialized mixture that is evenly sprayed across properly prepared soil. The hydromulch helps protect the seed and retain moisture while germination begins.
Instead of purchasing mature grass that was grown somewhere else, cut into rolls and transported to your property, hydroseeding allows your new grass to grow directly where it will live.
Think of Hydroseeding as Growing Your Lawn Instead of Laying It Down.
You still get the beautiful green lawn you're looking for — you're simply giving your lawn time to grow
Hydroseeding vs. Sod in Colorado Springs
Trying to decide between hydroseeding and sod installation in Colorado Springs?
Both methods can produce an attractive lawn, but there are some important differences.
| Hydroseeding | Sod | |
|---|---|---|
| Creates New lawn | Yes | Yes |
| Installation | Seed mixture sprayed onto soil | Pre-grown grass rolls |
| Immediately green | No | Yes |
| Initial cost | Typically lower | Typically higher |
| Root development | Develops directly in your soil | Must establish after installatio |
| Custom seed mixtures | Yes | More Limited |
| Large properties | Excellent option | Can become expensive |
| Slopes & irregular areas | Excellent | More difficult |
| Requires establishment period | Yes | Yes |
That depends on what's most important to you.
Sod provides an immediately green lawn, which can be valuable when appearance is needed quickly.
But you're paying for grass that has already been grown, harvested, transported and installed.
If you can give your new lawn time to grow, hydroseeding can provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional sod installation.

Choose the Right Grass for Your Property
Not every Colorado Springs property needs exactly the same type of lawn.
Hydroseeding gives property owners access to different seed mixtures depending on the desired appearance, property conditions and intended use.
Traditional Green Lawns
Want the classic thick, green residential lawn?Taravella’s can recommend grass mixtures designed for traditional residential lawn applications.
Drought-Tolerant Grass
Colorado homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to create attractive landscapes while considering long-term water use. Depending on your property and goals, drought-tolerant grass varieties may be worth considering.
Native Colorado Grasses
Not every part of your property needs to look like a traditional suburban lawn.
Native and naturalized grass mixtures can be excellent options for acreage, larger properties, open spaces and landscapes where a more natural Colorado appearance is desired.
Commercial & Large Properties
The larger the property, the more expensive traditional sod installation can become. Hydroseeding allows large areas to be seeded efficiently, making it particularly attractive for commercial properties, developments and larger residential projects.
Replace a Dead or Damaged Lawn
Sometimes repairing an existing lawn isn't the best solution.
If your grass is severely damaged, patchy or beyond recovery, starting over may produce better results. After the existing lawn is removed and the soil is properly prepared, hydroseeding can be used to establish new grass. Taravella’s can help homeowners looking for:
Lawn replacement
New grass installation
Yard renovation
Grass seeding
