Hydroseeding in Kalkallo

Brand-new lots on fill

Kalkallo is one of the newest suburbs in Melbourne's north, beside the Hume Freeway, with large estates still being built.

Lots are often shaped with imported fill during civil works. The surface can look like soil but behave very differently.

What we recommend for Kalkallo yards

• A soil check before we quote
• Ripping, debris removal and a quality topsoil layer on fill
• A hard-wearing, frost-hardy blend for the northern plains
• Tackifier to hold seed against the wind on open estates

Why fill needs extra work

Imported fill is often a mix of clay, subsoil and rubble with little organic matter. It sets hard when dry and holds water when wet. Ripping it, removing debris and adding a layer of quality topsoil costs a little more up front, but it's the difference between a thick lawn and one that struggles for years.
