Hydroseeding in Bendigo

Hot summers, cold nights

Bendigo is warmer and drier than Melbourne, with long hot spells in summer and cold, frosty nights through winter.

Much of the city sits on old goldfields ground: hard clay, quartz gravel and thin topsoil, especially on new estates where the builder has scraped it away.

What we recommend for Bendigo yards

• A grass type matched to your yard: warm-season couch or a cool-season blend
• Ripping hard clay and adding topsoil where it's thin
• A heavier mulch rate to hold moisture
• Spraying in autumn or mid-spring, away from the summer heat

Warm-season or cool-season grass?

Bendigo is one of the few places we work where a warm-season grass like couch makes real sense. It handles the heat and gets through dry spells on less water, but it slows down and loses colour in winter. A cool-season blend such as tall fescue stays green year-round but needs more summer water. We'll explain both when we quote, and spray the one that suits how you use the yard.
