Hydroseeding for New Builds
Hydroseeding for new builds turns the compacted clay your builder left behind into a thick lawn in about six weeks. It costs a fraction of instant turf, which matters when landscaping is the last thing left in the budget. We handle the prep, topsoil and spraying in one booking.
Starting from builder's clay
New-build yards are usually compacted by machinery and littered with rubble. Seed struggles to root in that, so we rip the soil, clear the rubble and add a light layer of quality topsoil before spraying.
Front and back yard in one visit
We can do the whole block at once. That helps if your estate asks for front landscaping within a set time after handover.
Keeping the budget in check
A 120m² backyard typically costs about $790 to hydroseed. The same area in instant turf is around $6,000.
That difference often pays for fencing, a clothesline or the garden beds.
Before you move in, or after
- Spray before move-in and the lawn is establishing while you unpack
- Spray after move-in once services and fencing are finished
- Hard-wearing blends for kids and dogs
- A written watering plan tailored to your yard
Questions about hydroseeding for New Builds
Short answers to what people ask us most.
How soon after handover can you spray?
As soon as fencing and services are in. We can check the site in the first week and spray once the soil is ready.
Do I need topsoil?
Most new-build yards benefit from a light top-dress. We'll check the soil and include it in your quote if it's needed.
Will it handle kids and dogs?
Yes, once it's established. We use a hard-wearing blend and suggest keeping heavy traffic off for the first six weeks.
