Hydroseeding in Somerville

Estates on old orchard ground

Somerville grew up as an orchard district on the Western Port side of the Peninsula, and newer estates now sit where fruit trees used to be.

The soil is generally good once it's opened up, but years of farming and building work leave it compacted and uneven.

What we recommend for Somerville yards

• Ripping compacted ground and removing old roots
• Levelling so water spreads evenly
• A hard-wearing warm-season blend for family backyards
• Spraying in spring or autumn, when the Peninsula's rain is most reliable

Clearing old roots and irrigation

Ground that grew fruit trees for decades can still hold old roots, stumps and buried irrigation pipe. They stop the soil being levelled properly and leave hollows that show up once the grass is in. We rip the area, pull out what we find and level it before we spray, and it's itemised on your quote.
