Achieve a Healthy, Dense Lawn Quickly with Our Advanced Hydraulic Mulch Application Technique
Professional Hydroseeding Services in Iowa for Fast Turf Establishment
Transform Your Lawn with Superior Hydraulic Spray Application
Establishing a vibrant, resilient lawn across Iowa’s varied soil conditions requires an efficient, scientifically backed planting method. At Schares Landscaping, our premium hydroseeding services combine high-grade grass seed, organic wood fiber mulch, specialized fertilizers, and soil conditioners into a unified slurry. This pressurized mixture is sprayed directly over prepared ground, creating a micro-environment that holds moisture and protects seeds from washout or bird damage.
Before
After
Effective Soil Stabilization and Erosion Management
Heavy Midwest rainfall can easily wash away traditional loose seeds on sloped terrains. Our hydraulic slurry bonds instantly to the soil matrix, forming an interlocking protective barrier. This prevents topsoil loss, stabilizes vulnerable embankments, and maintains consistent seed placement through early root germination.
Rapid Germination via Moisture-Retaining Mulch Slurryl Installation
The specialized mulch used in our mix acts as a sponge, retaining essential moisture directly against the seed. This constant hydrologic contact drastically speeds up root development, delivering uniform grass coverage within weeks without the patchy results common to conventional hand-seeding.
Custom Seed Blending for Iowa's Climate Demands
We formulate every mix specifically for local sun exposure, drainage, and usage needs. By blending durable cool-season grasses, Schares Landscaping guarantees a deeply rooted, drought-tolerant lawn capable of handling severe summer heat and freezing winter conditions.

What Local Property Owners Say
Wade RummelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Needed some ground work done last minute for a pool install. Ryan was able to fit me in very quick. He had great communication on timing and what needed done. Will definitely use again! Doreen HayekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very impressed with Ryan’s professionalism and the fact that he did exactly what he said he was going to do. That can be rare with some of the subs we use. Thanks again Ryan! Jared KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Earlier this year I used Schares Landscaping for a few projects. This company willingly took on a few different projects approximately 35 minutes away from Waterloo/Cedar Falls. I couldn't have been more pleased with the communication, outcome and fair pricing. I will use them again and recommend them to anybody!!!! ScottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan came over the same day I called for an estimate. This was a relatively small job for him, but where other contractors told me they were not interested in doing the job. Ryan did not pressure me to turn this into a larger job. He broke down his bid so I could do as much or as little as I needed. He and his team showed up when promised and made quick work out of removing a concrete pad in my back yard. They left the job after cleaning up and replacing my fence. Thank you Schares landscaping Merrie SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Prompt, courteous, expert service by personable men who treat you like lifelong friends. I will call on them again if needed. Tricia ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Beat Service, was reliable and quick, and estimate was appropriate and didn’t go up. Ryan and his crew are fantastic to work with and did an excellent job on installing our drainage system. They connected our gutters to the drain, hand dug around pool lines and even inspected the lines for us. They worked fast and cleaned up the dirt like it wasn’t even there. Laid hydro seed in all their areas and a few more that just needed it. Ryan was very responsive and detailed. The crew were super nice! Hope we don’t need them for any other drainage issues, but may use them in the future for landscaping when we get to more projects. seth kleinschmidtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great guys to work with!! They do excellent work and are very professional at what they do! Would highly recommend! Cole HindersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company that did excellent work on my yard. I have received numerous compliments. Will go to them for any future needs. CarlLynnesyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent job of dirt work and landscaping edging turned him loose and let him do what he thought was best and he had great ideas. Very nice job.
