Hydroseeding in Wollert

Open, windy lots in the north

Wollert has grown from farmland into one of the City of Whittlesea's biggest new suburbs, and many streets still look out over open grassland.

That openness means wind. Loose seed blows away, and hot northerlies dry out a new lawn quickly in late spring.

What we recommend for Wollert yards

• Tackifier in the mix to hold seed against the wind
• Ripping and top-dressing on compacted estate clay
• A hard-wearing warm-season blend for full-sun yards
• Spraying in autumn or early spring, before the hot northerlies arrive

Using recycled water on a new lawn

Some newer Wollert estates have a purple-pipe recycled water tap. If yours does, it's the ideal way to establish a lawn, because the first two weeks need frequent watering and recycled water isn't counted the same way as drinking water. Check your water bill or look for the purple tap. We'll set the watering plan around it.
