Hydroseeding in Wendouree

Established homes near the lake

Wendouree is one of Ballarat's established suburbs, north-west of Lake Wendouree, with older homes on generous blocks.

Lawns here are often decades old. Many are warm-season grasses that turn straw-coloured from late autumn until the spring warms up.

What we recommend for Wendouree yards

• Spraying off old couch, kikuyu and weeds
• Cultivating and levelling tired, compacted soil
• A cool-season blend such as tall fescue that stays green in winter
• Spraying in early autumn or from October

Replacing a lawn that browns every winter

We spray off the old grass and weeds, wait for them to die back, then cultivate and level the soil. Then we spray a cool-season blend over the whole area. It takes about seven weeks to reach a first mow, and it costs far less than stripping the old lawn and laying turf.
