Hydroseeding in Rowville

Established blocks in the Dandenong foothills

Most of Rowville was built from the 1980s onwards, beneath the Dandenong Ranges and next to Lysterfield Park.

Lawns that age tend to thin out, compact and fill with weeds and couch. Topping them up rarely works, so starting again usually costs less in the long run.

What we recommend for Rowville yards

• Spraying off the old lawn and weeds before we start
• Aerating and top-dressing compacted soil
• Shade-tolerant blends under trees, hard-wearing blends in the sun
• Autumn spraying, when established gardens need the least watering

Lawns under mature trees

Rowville's established streets have big eucalypts and gardens that have grown for decades, so many lawns get only a few hours of sun. We sow shade-tolerant blends in those areas and a hard-wearing blend in the open. Mixing two blends in one yard costs nothing extra and gives a more even result.
