Hydroseeding in Daylesford

Rich soil, cold winters

Daylesford sits about 600 metres up in the hills north-east of Ballarat. It's much wetter than Melbourne, and frosts are common from late autumn into spring.

The dark volcanic soil is fertile and drains well, so many yards need little more than levelling and weed control before we spray.

What we recommend for Daylesford yards

• A cool-season blend that handles hard frosts
• Weed control and levelling instead of heavy soil work
• Spraying from late February to early April
• Shade-tolerant grass under established trees

Let the autumn rain do the watering

Many Daylesford properties are weekenders or holiday homes, where nobody is there to water every day. Spraying in early autumn helps, because the soil is still warm and the rain usually arrives just as the seed germinates. We'll suggest a date when we quote, and a simple timer setup if you want one.
