Hydroseeding in Rockingham

Old and new on the coast

Rockingham mixes established homes near the beach and the foreshore with newer housing further inland.

Older lawns here have often thinned out on water-repellent sand. New yards start as bare builder's sand. Both need soil improver and a wetting agent so water soaks in rather than running off.

What we recommend for Rockingham yards

• Replacing thin, patchy lawns on older blocks
• Wetting agent and soil improver before spraying
• Couch or kikuyu for full sun and salt air
• Tackifier on yards that catch the sea breeze

Coastal wind and summer heat

Rockingham gets a strong afternoon sea breeze through summer. It cools the evenings but dries bare sand and new seed quickly. We add tackifier and a heavier mulch layer on exposed yards, and suggest a spray date in spring or early autumn so young grass isn't facing the hottest weeks.
