What is Hydroseeding?Hydroseeding is a process that uses a special pump to spread a carefully selected blend of seed, fertiliser, mulch and water in one application. The seed is given the best possible opportunity to germinate and grow because the added mulch fibres retain water to keep the seed moist, prevent wind and soil erosion and maintains a constant soil temperature. Is Hydroseeding suitable for lawns?Hydroseeding is perfect for establishing your new lawn. The even distribution of fertiliser and seed and the rapid growth encouraged by mulch will have your garden looking lush in no time! Where is Hydroseeding used?Hydroseeding can be used anywhere that requires revegetation and renewal, topsoil consolidation, erosion protection, seed protection and dust control. It is ideal for steep slopes and other difficult to access areas. Typical applications include:
How often should I water my new lawn?Give your newly seeded lawn a light watering three times a day. You can find a Watering Schedule here to help you keep to a consistant watering program. How long should I wait before mowing?When the grass blades are 10cm tall you can mow your lawn. Will I need to add fertiliser?Fertiliser has been spread with the hydroseeding mix so no further fertiliser should be needed until your lawn is about five weeks old. |
