Hydroseeding FAQs

Usually $2–$4 per m², or about $240–$480 for a 120m² backyard. Our hydroseeding cost guide covers what changes the price, with examples and a calculator.

Yes. Roll-on lawn in Perth is usually about $16–$25 per m² supplied and laid. See roll-on lawn in Perth.

Bare, level soil that's free of weeds and rubble, with a wetting agent worked into water-repellent sand. If your yard isn't there yet, we can take care of the prep for you.

Most home lawns are sprayed in a few hours.

Not for the spray – just leave side access open.

Seed, mulch, fertiliser, a natural tackifier and a temporary green dye.

Spring and early autumn are ideal in Perth, when the soil is warm and the heat is manageable. We can spray at other times with the right mulch and blend, as long as the lawn gets enough water while it establishes.

The mulch and a natural tackifier bind the seed to the soil, so normal rain helps rather than hurts. A very heavy storm in the first couple of weeks can wash patches on slopes, which is why we time the spray around the weather where we can.

Yes, but warm-season grass grows slowly in cold soil, so spring or early autumn gives a better result. Hydromulch can hold bare ground until then.

Water a little more often, so the mulch stays damp through the hottest part of the day.

Light, frequent watering for the first few weeks, usually a few short sessions a day. Water Corporation's new-lawn exemption lets you water outside your rostered days while it establishes.

You'll see green in about 7–10 days. Light foot traffic is fine after roughly 4 weeks, and most lawns are ready for their first mow at around 6 weeks.

Yes, with Water Corporation's new-lawn exemption, which covers seed. It starts on spray day and lasts up to 42 days from October to March, or 35 days from April to September.

Usually around 6 weeks, on a high setting.

At about 8 weeks, with a general lawn fertiliser.

Once it's established, yes – and often better. Because the grass grows from seed in your own soil, the roots go deeper and there are no seams. The trade-off is time: turf looks finished on day one.

Both last for years with good care; seeded lawns often have deeper roots.

Hydroseeding. It sprays evenly and won't slip like rolls can.
