Hydroseeding Preparation & Process

At Hydroseeding Australia we can mange the whole process for you – from soil prep, drainage and irrigation etc. We have all the machines at our fingertips to manage and complete the job large or small.

Before we start

We will conduct soil and water testing. The test results will give you a report on the nutrient levels, CEC (cation exchange capacity), and pH along with recommendations on correcting any deficiencies. The water test will give us results on the pH and salinity levels.

Properly prepared soil will directly reflect the health
and appearance of the lawn for years to come. A high percentage of the plant and turf problems can be traced to and/or caused by poor soil environment.

How to prepare an area

If required we will clear the site of all building materials, buried stumps, rocks, stones or other debris that is larger than 4-5cm in diameter.

Rough grade the entire area and eliminate any drainage problems. Add topsoil to achieve a total topsoil depth of 10-15cm, after firming. The soil type should be loamy compost mix, but varies depending on location.

Finish grade the entire site. If the area has been rolled scratch the surface once again to add texture so the hydro seed can bind with the soil particles. You should be able to stick your index finger in the soil up to your second knuckle with ease.

Irrigation

The type of irrigation should be determined prior to hydroseeding, we recommend design pop up sprinklers. We are happy to talk through and install your desired choice of sprinklers.

Seeds

We understand the climate and different environments and know the best mix for different areas to get the greatest results.

Hydroseeding Australia only source the highest quality seed and can blend your individual combination taking into consideration the desired result, climate, location, water availability etc. Native seeds are also a great option for the Australian climate. A popular blend is kikuyu and rye.

Mulch & tacker

Hydroseeding Australia only use 100% wood fibre mulch as we feel this is the best quality and gives the seeds
the best chance of germinating. It has a non-toxic green dye (the dye will not stain) and retains moisture and
helps protect the seeds. This will decompose to a natural fertiliser. It also acts as a dust suppressor and it bonds to the soil so the mixture won’t blow away or erode with rain.

We can source different mulchers for different gradient sloped. The tacker in the mulch helps bind everything and hold it in position and not run off allowing for greater germination rate.
