A new build's yard in May is bare dirt and tire ruts, and it stays that way until somebody sprays it green. Mid Michigan Hydro Seed does exactly that around Mount Pleasant — hydroseeding lawns, seeding slopes and ditch banks, and handling the mowing and cleanup that bring a young stand along. The slurry goes down wet and vivid, and for a couple of weeks the yard looks like a painting of a lawn; then the real blades push up through it and the color turns honest. Spring rain in this part of Michigan does most of the rest, provided the timing is right. Little beats driving past a month later and finding an even, unbroken green where there used to be mud.
