Hydroseeding in Plumpton

A finished front, a bare backyard

Plumpton is one of the newest suburbs in Melbourne's west, in the City of Melton, and most homes on its estates are only a few years old or still being built.

A common pattern is a landscaped front yard and a backyard of compacted clay, left for the owner to deal with.

What we recommend for Plumpton yards

• Ripping and top-dressing compacted estate clay
• A drought-tolerant blend for the dry, windy west
• A blend chosen to sit well beside the front lawn
• Spraying in autumn, so the lawn is established before summer

Matching the front lawn

If your builder laid turf out the front, we'll choose a blend that looks similar once it's established, so the yard doesn't look patched together. Seeding the back costs a fraction of extending the turf, and you can do the side yards and nature strip at the same time.
