Hydroseeding in Croydon

Leafy streets and damp lawns

Croydon sits in Maroondah at the foot of the Dandenongs, with tall trees, established gardens and more rain than the western suburbs.

South-facing and tree-covered yards may see little winter sun. Heavy clay holds water, and moss spreads where the grass thins.

What we recommend for Croydon yards

• Removing moss and old lawn before we start
• Aerating and top-dressing wet, compacted clay
• Shade-tolerant, cool-season blends such as fine and tall fescue
• Spraying in autumn or early spring, while the soil is still workable

Getting rid of moss for good

Moss is a symptom, not the problem. It moves in where the soil stays wet, compacted and shaded, and grass can't compete. Killing it without fixing those conditions means it comes straight back. We deal with drainage and compaction first, then sow grass that can hold its ground in the shade.
