Why seed instead of laying turf
Roll-on lawn is grown on a farm, cut, trucked and laid by hand, and you pay for every step. In Perth it's usually about $16–$25 per m² supplied and laid, before any soil prep.
Hydroseed is mixed in one tank and sprayed in one pass. A typical 120m² backyard costs about $240–$480, against roughly $1,900–$3,000 for roll-on lawn.
The grass also roots straight into your own soil, so there are no seams to dry out or lift.
Grass that suits Perth
Perth lawns need to cope with long, hot, dry summers. We spray warm-season grasses that grow from seed, such as couch and kikuyu, and choose the blend for how much sun the area gets and how hard it's used.
Some popular Perth lawns, like Sir Walter buffalo, are only sold as turf. If that's the lawn you want, roll-on lawn is the way to get it, and we'll tell you so.
How long until you can use it
In spring and summer you'll usually see green in 7–10 days. Light foot traffic is fine at around four weeks, and most lawns get their first mow at about six weeks. In the cooler months it takes longer.
