Hydroseeding in Two Rocks

The top of the corridor

Two Rocks is Perth's northernmost coastal suburb, about 50 minutes from the CBD. It mixes an older marina town with newer estates spreading south towards Yanchep.

The sand is pale, fast-draining and often shallow over limestone. Larger blocks on the edge of town can also have open, bare areas that blow in summer.

What we recommend for Two Rocks yards

• Couch or kikuyu for salt and wind tolerance
• Soil improver and wetting agent on thin sand
• A heavier mulch rate on exposed or sloping blocks
• Hydromulch to stop bare sand blowing on larger lots

Salt wind and sheltered spots

The ocean side of Two Rocks takes the full force of the westerlies, with salt on the wind. Exposed front yards do best with tough, runner-forming grasses like couch and kikuyu, sprayed with extra tackifier. Sheltered backyards behind the house can take a softer blend.
