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:

  • Freeway Batters
  • Sand Dune Stabilisation
  • Quarries and Mines
  • Factory gardens
  • Sporting fields.

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.
Only remove the top 3cm for the first few cuttings.
Do not cut the lawn below 5cm tall during summer to avoid burn-off.

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.
Refertilise the lawn if you notice any discoloration. This may be required as early as 4 weeks after germination, depending on the quality of the soil.
