Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is the process of spraying a mixture of grass seed, fertiliser, mulch and water onto a prepared surface. Hydroseeding is suitable for residential and commercial lawns, banks, roadsides and landfills. It is also used to control dust and erosion and for spraying on living plants. Even the most challenging soil types can now be hydroseeded. 

Lawns

Hydroseeding is a cost effective option for obtaining a new lawn over a larger area. We use only a premium blend of Dwarf Rye and Chewings Fescue grass seed in our hydroseed mix or we can apply a blend of your choice. The sprayed on mulch bonds to the prepared soil to withstand wind and regular rainfall. The combination of mulch and fertiliser creates an ideal environment for the seed to germinate.
 

Banks

We can hydroseed almost any bank, big or small, including those that are clay, papa mud or sandstone. The seed we use is selected to suit the application and extra products are included to make the mix extra tacky to ensure it adheres well to the surface.
 

Roadsides

We hydroseed the sides of roads and banks for civil contractors following the installation of new roads or after road alterations or repairs. We apply a high rate of seed in our mix to ensure a good result is achieved and very large areas are no problem.
 

Landfills

Hydroseeding can be used as an alternate daily cover for landfills. Applying a blend of special polymars allows good adhesion to the tip face which seals off odours and keeps vermon out. As hydroseeding applies only a very thin cover layer it results in prolonging the life of the landfill as opposed to applying a layer of soil.
 

Dust Control

Hydroseeding is very useful for the control of dust. We apply a slurry that forms a cap over the ground to prevent windblown dust.
 

Erosion Control & Slips

When it comes to erosion and slips, each site is different and there are a range of products available. To control erosion fast and cost effectively we use Flexterra® . Flexterra® contains superior tackifiers to bond directly to the soil upon application. It can grow vegetation eight times faster than bare soil. When combined with ProGanics™ Biotic Soil Media™ nothing matches its abiltiy to immediatly control erosion and quickly establish vegetation.
 

Living Plants

Selected species such as kikuyu, moss, wildflowers and ground covers can be added to the hyroseeding mix instead of seed. Known as hydro-sprigging, this method of planting creates a very natural look with no uniformity.  
 

Poor Soil

We can hydroseed over any type of soil using ProGanics™ Biotic Soil Media™. This is a topsoil alternative for depleted soils and has proven to be extremely successful. To see more about this product visit https://duraveg.com.au/products/proganics.html.
