Drill seeding is one of the most effective methods for planting grass or native seed across wide open spaces especially where precision and soil contact matter most. Unlike broadcast or hydroseeding, drill seeding uses specialized equipment to place seed directly into the soil at consistent depth and spacing, improving germination and reducing seed loss from wind or water runoff.
At KD Hydromulching, we use this method to cover large properties efficiently ideal for pastures, rural lawns, commercial sites, and farms. Our equipment delivers accurate results even on sloped, rocky, or uneven terrain, saving you money and giving your grass the best start possible.
If you’re restoring land, reseeding after construction, or planting native grasses on acreage, drill seeding provides a dependable, cost-effective
solution tailored to Alabama's soil and climate.
