Hydroseeding in Werribee

Lawns for one of Melbourne's drier suburbs

Werribee gets noticeably less rain than the eastern suburbs, and its flat, open ground catches the wind off Port Phillip Bay.

Older homes often have thin, patchy lawns. Newer estates start with compacted clay.

What we recommend for Werribee yards

• Drought-tolerant blends that handle dry summers
• Renovating patchy older lawns rather than replacing them with turf
• Tackifier to hold seed against the wind
• Autumn spraying to make the most of winter rain

Renovate instead of replace

Many older Werribee lawns aren't dead, just thin. Rather than stripping everything and laying turf, we can spray a blend over the existing grass to thicken it up, or replace only the worst sections. It's usually the cheapest way to get a full lawn back.
