Hydroseeding for New Builds
Hydroseeding for new builds turns the compacted sand and fill your builder left behind into a thick lawn in about six weeks. It costs a fraction of roll-on lawn, which matters when landscaping is the last thing left in the budget. We handle the prep and the spraying in one booking.
Starting from builder's sand
New-build yards in Perth are usually compacted by machinery, mixed with rubble and often built up with imported fill. That sand tends to repel water, so it runs off or beads on the surface instead of soaking in.
We clear the rubble, loosen the surface and work in soil improver and a wetting agent before spraying, so the seed can root properly.
Front and back yard in one visit
We can do the whole block at once. That helps if your estate asks for front landscaping within a set time after handover.
Keeping the budget in check
A 120m² backyard typically costs $240–$480 to hydroseed. The same area in roll-on lawn is roughly $1,900–$3,000 supplied and laid.
That difference often covers reticulation, a clothesline or the garden beds.
Before you move in, or after
- Spray soon after move-in, so you're there to water it
- Spray once fencing and reticulation are finished
- Hard-wearing blends for kids and dogs
- Apply for the Water Corporation new-lawn exemption on spray day
Questions about hydroseeding for New Builds
Short answers to what people ask us most.
How soon after handover can you spray?
As soon as fencing and services are in. We check the site, then spray once the soil is ready.
Do I need topsoil?
Not always. Most new-build sand needs soil improver and a wetting agent more than a layer of topsoil. We'll check and include what's needed in your quote.
Will it handle kids and dogs?
Yes, once it's established. We use a hard-wearing blend and suggest keeping heavy traffic off for the first six weeks.
