You Are Now Ready For Your ‘Spray On Grass’!
To achieve the correct depth for your root structure soil needs to be cultivated to a depth of 150mm. Canterbury soil quality varies from Stoney Selwyn to the sandy seaside suburbs we highly encourage customers to CALL US for free advice. Generally, 50-100mm of finely screened topsoil is required. Soil needs to be levelled and lightly rolled so it is firm enough to walk on but not too firm you cannot leave a line with your finger.
Irrigation:
Water is essential for growth, your lawn will not strike or grow without it. At ‘Spray on Grass’ we can provide irrigation systems which will be a major time saver and a great investment to ensure lush green lawns year round. Watering is required daily once hydroseeding is applied for a minimum of 3-4 weeks. We have a variety of options from tap operated to fully automatic to suit almost any budget.
