Hydroseeding in Ararat

Dry summers and cold winters

Ararat sits on the edge of the Grampians region, about an hour west of Ballarat. It gets less rain than Ballarat, and summers can be long and dry.

Winters are still cold and frosty, so the grass has to handle both extremes. Many yards are on heavy clay.

What we recommend for Ararat yards

• A tall fescue blend for dry summers and frosty winters
• Ripping and top-dressing heavy clay
• A heavier mulch rate to hold moisture
• A written watering plan for the first six weeks

Why tall fescue suits Ararat

Tall fescue is a cool-season grass with roots that go much deeper than most lawn grasses. That lets it stay green through Ararat's cold winters and get through dry summers on far less water. It's hard-wearing too, so it suits family yards and dogs. We blend it to suit your soil and how much shade you have.
