Hydroseeding in Creswick

A goldfields town in the forest

Creswick sits 20 minutes north of Ballarat, surrounded by state forest and old mining country. Its winters are as cold and frosty as Ballarat's.

Many blocks have gravelly, low-nutrient soil, and big trees nearby take water from the topsoil.

What we recommend for Creswick yards

• Topsoil on thin or gravelly ground
• A cool-season, hard-wearing blend
• Shade-tolerant grass under big trees
• Autumn spraying, so the lawn is established before winter

A short, green lawn around the house

CFA advice for homes near bush is to keep grass short and green around the house. A well-kept lawn holds far less fuel than long dry grass or bare ground full of weeds. We can seed the area around your home with a hard-wearing blend that recovers well after summer, and give you a watering plan to keep it green.
