Civil Hydroseeding in Ballarat

Timing around the frosts

Seed needs warm soil to germinate, and young grass struggles through a hard Ballarat frost. Spraying from late summer to mid-autumn, or from mid-spring, gives the best establishment.

If a stage is handed over in winter, a mulch-only spray stabilises the surface straight away, and we come back to seed when the soil warms. Both visits are on the quote.

Seed mixes for a cold climate

Cool-season grasses such as tall fescue and perennial ryegrass stay green through a Ballarat winter. For reserves and low-maintenance areas we can use hardier or native mixes. We'll suggest a mix to suit the site and its long-term use.

Pricing is about $2 per m², dropping to about $1 per m² on open ground beyond a hectare.
