Hydroseeding in Heathcote

Red soil and rural blocks

Heathcote is a town about 45 minutes south-east of Bendigo, known for its wineries and its red Cambrian soil.

Most homes sit on rural or lifestyle blocks, where building work leaves bare banks and tracks as well as the house yard.

What we recommend for Heathcote blocks

• A hardy, drought-tolerant lawn around the house
• Hydromulch with tackifier on cut banks
• Erosion matting on steep sections
• Spraying in autumn or mid-spring

Grassing cut banks and driveways

Building on a rural block usually leaves bare banks beside the house pad and driveway, and they wash out in heavy rain. We spray a heavier hydromulch with tackifier that binds to the bank, with erosion matting on steep sections. The same spray suits bare ground around sheds and dams. See our hydroseeding for slopes page for steeper jobs.
