Hydroseeding vs turf: which is right for your lawn?

Turf gives an instant lawn and needs watering hard for a month. Hydroseeding costs less over a large area, roots deeper and copes better with slopes and awkward shapes, but wants six to eight weeks before it looks the part.

On stony or recently cleared ground we usually recommend stone burying and power raking first, whichever finish you choose.
