The Grass is Always Greener

There is a simple solution to your new lawn needs. It doesn`t involve hours of backbreaking, expensive and all too often unsatisfactory turf laying. It doesn't mean broadcasting dry grass seed over your property in the hope that it will survive the bird onslaught.

Rapid Lawn Solutions is a revolution in lawns. Using a technology called hydroseeding, it is simple and effective. Your new lawn is sprayed onto prepared land - a mixture of water, seed, fertilizer and protective mulch products that promote faster, healthier growth. So now with all the hard work a thing of the past, you can get on with the things in life you'd rather be doing.

Hydroseeding Explained

Hydromulch (also known as Hydraluic mulch) consists of small pieces of cellulose and wood fibres, which can be made

completely from wood waste or recycled paper. The process of hydroseeding, a mixture of water, seeds, and hydraulic mulch is sprayed over bare soil to quickly promote plant growth. Hydroseeding is commonly used to re-vegetate along medians, embankments and roadways. Hydraulic mulch stabilizes soil, prevents wind and water erosion and provides protection and warmth for seeds, helping them grow. Hydraulic mulch also controls weeds, reducing or eliminating the need for pesticides.

Hydroseeding is an excellent alternative to using sod and often a better choice. When comparing hydroseeding to instant turf, hydroseeding takes less time to apply, provides uniform growth and provides moisture. The hydroseeding mix or "slurry" holds the seed, fertiliser and soil in place during rain and repeated waterings. This hydroseed mulch nurtures the growing seeds and holds them in place during showers and heavy rain to reduce the risk of a patchy lawn.

Easy Care

Once your new lawn has been hydroseeded, it's easy to manage. It just needs to be regularly watered, mowed and fed. The first 21 days are vitally important as the germinating seedlings cannot be allowed to dry out or they will die.
