Hydroseeding in Bacchus Marsh

One of the drier towns near Melbourne

Bacchus Marsh sits in a valley between Melbourne and Ballarat, and it gets noticeably less rain than the city. Hot northerly winds dry out bare soil quickly in summer.

New estates in Darley, Maddingley and Merrimu leave most yards as bare, compacted clay.

What we recommend for Bacchus Marsh yards

• A drought-tolerant blend for hot, dry summers
• A heavier mulch rate to hold moisture
• Ripping and top-dressing estate clay
• Spraying in autumn where you can wait

Watering through a dry summer

A new lawn needs short, frequent watering for its first two weeks, then longer, less frequent soaks. In Bacchus Marsh's dry summers that matters more than anywhere else we work. We'll give you a written plan with timer settings, and we'll suggest an autumn spray if you'd rather not water through a hot spell.
