Hydroseeding is a process of combining water, premium grass seed, fertiliser and protective mulch together. The fertiliser and mulch mixture provides an ideal nurturing environment for seed germination to establish a lush dense and healthy lawn.
Why Choose Hydroseeding?
Hydroseeding is a great and cost effective option for obtaining a lush and healthy lawn if you have the time to wait! With the right care, the results can be amazing!
Hydroseeding in Winter
Hydroseeding in the cooler months can require a bit more thought, in particular to the seed variety and also extra protection against the weather elements. We offer a cool season rye blend that will strike as low as 4℃.
Washout Protection
Heavy rain in any season can be devastating on your newly hydroseeded lawn. We have been hard at work creating and testing our own ratio of a polymer glue that can be added to the hydroseeding mixture to offer washout resistance. While we follow the weather forecast closely when scheduling your lawn, this polymer offers extra security for unplanned weather events which are becoming more and more common.
The Process
Once the ground has been prepared, the hydroseeding mix (a combination of seed, fertiliser, mulch and water) is sprayed onto the desired areas by our hydroseeding machine, handled by our landscapers.
The hydroseed mixture bonds the seed to the soil which helps to keep pesky birds at bay and prevents erosion from any windblown soil and light rain.
The Result:
Germination time will depend on the weather and the consistency of watering after application. In optimum growing conditions, including sufficient watering and warm ground temperatures, moisture is retained closer to the seed aiding the germination which can be achieved in just 5 days. Generally lawn germination will take approximately 10-14 days depending upon watering and ground temperatures.
We will provide you with a care guide upon completion. This care guide will provide you with all of the necessary information to grow a healthy and lush lawn and keep it that way!

"I'm writing this email with a huge amount of contentment!! Wow! Wow!! What an amazing job your team have done. It's like a ton of bricks have lifted off my shoulders. I can actually breathe now and focus on other parts of the house before hitting the market. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it."

"Incredible work by the Rapid Lawn team! Irrigation system, site levelling and ready lawn done to the highest standard. Cannot recommend these guys enough. We are thrilled with the result. Our lawn looks like something out of a landscaping catalogue."

"I just wanted to let you know that Brenda and I really appreciate the great work your team did at our property. It was a lot of hard work with limited access but the boys kept a friendly attitude and a good work ethic to make sure we were satisfied with their job. At the end of each day they also tidied up so no mess was left behind. It's difficult to separate anyone for special praise but I must mention Wendy who did all the irrigation work. She planned the placement of the sprinklers to make sure the whole strange shaped lawn was irrigated and now it's growing very well. I thought she did a great job. We still have a lot of planting to do but we can see how well it's taking shape. I'm pleased to have chosen your company for our job."

"Thank you very much for the landscaping. I really love all of it, and the landscaping team that came here did a wonderful job. The hedge is going to look fantastic out the front once it's grown, and the paving down the service area was done very well, and looks great."

"Across two days (in very hot conditions), Gene and Marcello worked incredibly hard and efficiently together to prepare the site. I was very impressed with their professionalism, friendliness and positive attitude. Gene and Marcello clearly work well as a team and are an assest to Rapid Lawn. I am so happy with the progress and very excited to see the finished result."

"We have struggled with a small lawn area in our backyard that is oddly shaped and varies in direct sun and shading. Rapid Lawn provided a new lawn together with our need for a sprinkler system that would cover the odd shapes without wasting water on paths or other areas. They gave excellent advice, removed our old pathetic lawn, and installed the new 'ready laid lawn' to our complete satisfaction. We chose "Tall Fescue" and all of our family and friends are amazed at how much better it looks. We love that our sprinkler system can be programmed and operated from our phones.
We wholeheartedly recommend the team from Rapid Lawn to anyone who wants a professional job (big or small) at a competitive price."

"We were very happy with the service we received from Rapid Lawn. We first made contact with Rapid Lawn during the COVID-19 lockdown and were told that there was a backlog of jobs to be completed once work could resume before ours could be done. To our great delight, our instant lawn was laid before the end of May. The team even provided an extra 8 square metres because I had miscalculated our area. Rapid Lawn has really finished the landscape off nicely - looking very professional."
