Hydroseeding in Yanchep

Thin sand over limestone

Yanchep sits on old coastal dunes, with limestone often close to the surface and the national park on its eastern edge. Topsoil is thin or missing on many blocks.

That kind of sand drains almost instantly, so a new lawn needs help holding water. We work in soil improver and a wetting agent, and use a mulch layer that keeps the seed damp between waterings.

What we recommend for Yanchep yards

• Soil improver where limestone sand is thin
• A drought-hardy couch or kikuyu blend
• Tackifier to hold seed in the coastal wind
• Spraying in spring or early autumn, when the heat is easier on young grass

Older coastal homes

Not every Yanchep job is a new build. Around the old townsite and the lagoon, there are older beach homes with thin, sandy lawns that have been patched for years. We spray off what's left, improve the sand and reseed the whole area, so it comes up as one even lawn.
