Hydroseeding in Cranbourne

Sand in the old town, clay in the estates

Parts of Cranbourne sit on sandy soil, the same country as the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne. It drains quickly and holds few nutrients.

The big new estates in Cranbourne East, West and North mostly start with compacted clay left by the builders.

What we recommend for Cranbourne yards

• Organic matter and a moisture-holding mulch on sandy blocks
• Ripping and top-dressing on new-estate clay
• A hard-wearing blend for family backyards
• Spring or autumn spraying for the fastest cover

Watering sandy soil

Sandy Cranbourne soil drains fast, so a new lawn can dry out within hours on a hot day. On these blocks we mix in organic matter during prep, use a mulch rate that holds moisture and give you a watering plan with shorter, more frequent sessions for the first few weeks.
