About Hydroseeding.info
Hydroseeding.info is built by Douglas Holmgren, a hydroseeding and erosion control professional with field experience across residential, commercial, highway erosion control, and land reclamation work.
Douglas has worked across several sides of the industry. Turf Blaster® and Turf Blasters® handle product and service work, Hydroseed Supply™ stocks materials and equipment for contractors, and the New Turf Network™ and the industry Facebook communities connect operators across the trade. The content here reflects what comes out of that day-to-day work.
He also offers one-on-one training and consultation — free introductory sessions, advanced online training, and in-person hands-on days for operators getting started or leveling up.

Why This Site Exists
There's not a lot of hydroseeding content online that goes past the basics. This site is an attempt to fill in the middle ground — enough detail to be useful to people doing the work or hiring it done.
Who This Is For
- Homeowners researching the process before hiring or planning a project.
- Contractors already in the trade or entering it.
- Specifiers and project managers who need to understand the method to write or evaluate it.
- Students of the industry learning how it actually works.

Join the Community
Hydroseeding is a trade built on shared knowledge. Three active Facebook communities bring the industry together — and you're invited to all three:
- Hydroseeding 101 (For Homeowners) — for homeowners researching or planning a project. Ask questions, get honest answers.
- Hydroseeding 101 — for people in the trade or looking to enter it. Learning the industry and getting started.
- Hydroseeding Professionals — for established contractors and operators. Trade talk, equipment, and real-world problem-solving.
You'll find links to these throughout the site where they're relevant. The educational content stands on its own — but when you're ready for services, supplies, or professional connections, those resources are available.
The Voice
Plain language, specific where it matters, and willing to land on a recommendation rather than hedging. The goal is to be useful, not to sound impressive.

Disclosure
Hydroseeding.info is an independent educational resource. The author, Douglas Holmgren, has direct commercial interests in many of the products, brands, and services mentioned throughout the site, and readers should know about them.
Brands and businesses operated by the author: 1-800-NEW-TURF, Turf Blaster®, Turf Blasters®, the New Turf Network™, and Hydroseed Supply™. References to any of these are self-promotional in the same way an author's other work shows up in their bio.
Third-party products carried through Hydroseed Supply: Equipment and supplies from manufacturers such as TurfMaker, Turf Teq, and Staple Wasp are sold through Hydroseed Supply, so the author has a reseller interest in those product lines. They appear on this site because the author works with them in the field — not because the manufacturers pay for editorial coverage.
What this site is not: No manufacturer, brand, or service has paid for placement, mentions, or favorable coverage on Hydroseeding.info. Recommendations reflect what the author actually uses and would advise — read with that lens, and use the same critical judgment you'd apply to any practitioner-written source.
