Hydroseeding in Secret Harbour

Wind is the big one

Secret Harbour is a coastal estate at the southern end of the City of Rockingham, built across open dunes close to the beach.

On windy afternoons, loose sand moves. Dry seed spread by hand blows into the fence line, and even turf edges can dry out and lift. A sprayed slurry with tackifier binds to the surface and stays put.

What we recommend for Secret Harbour yards

• Tackifier and a heavier mulch rate on every coastal yard
• Soil improver and wetting agent on dune sand
• Couch or kikuyu for salt tolerance
• Watering little and often while the seed germinates

Front yards facing the ocean

Ocean-facing front yards get salt on the wind as well as sand. Couch and kikuyu cope with it better than most lawns. If your front yard is fully exposed, we'll suggest the toughest blend and may recommend hydro turfing, which puts down a thicker mulch layer from day one.
