  • No matter how big or small your lawn area is, we can hydroseed it, whether it's a full section or just a patch that needs a refresh. For smaller spaces, a minimum charge does apply to cover setup and materials, but we'll always advise the most cost-effective option for your site.

  • You’ll typically start to see signs of germination within 7–10 days after hydroseeding, depending on weather conditions and watering. Full coverage and a visibly lush lawn usually develop within 3–4 weeks, especially with proper aftercare. Warmer temperatures, consistent moisture, and good soil prep all help speed up growth.

  • For the best results, your lawn needs consistent care in the first few weeks. We recommend keeping the area moist with light, frequent watering (2–3 times daily), avoiding foot traffic until the grass is established, and delaying mowing until the lawn reaches around 5–7cm in height. Our team will provide a full aftercare guide to help you get the most out of your new lawn.
