Hydromulch Rockhampton and Central Queensland
Looking for a more economical way to solve your soil erosion and revegetation problems?
Hydromulch is the answer. We service Rockhampton and Central Queensland.
Our Hydroseeding process is a proven way of revegetating large exposed areas and stabilizing areas prone to erosion. It's quick, efficient, and will give you the results you are looking for.
With a highly experienced team of operators, coupled with the most sophisticated imported machinery available, we can provide a service that is second to none.
Starting from soil testing, site preparation, dust suppressant and even native grass and tree seeding.
What is Hydroseeding?
- It is a process of mixing seed, fertilizer and fibre-mulch with water in correct proportions inside a tank and then spraying the homogenous slurry onto designated areas.
The Benefits?
- Seed germinates faster
- Higher percentage of seed germinates
- Higher grass plant survival
- Greatly reduced soil erosion
- Uniform distribution of seed, fertilizer and mulch
- Versatility - easer to seed difficult areas such as irregular plots, slopes or dam walls, ditches and narrow strips
- Seed mixes are tailored to the site, depending on sub exposure and planned usage
- No masking necessary for walkways, flowerbeds, walls or construction obstacles.
- Mulch turns to humus and becomes an integral part of the soil
- A fuller, more lush lawn develops
- Less than half the cost of sod
Why Hydroseeding is different?
- Germination: Putting the seed, fertilizer, and mulch into solution means the seed will be encapsulated within water-retaining mulch as it is applied. Since seed requires moisture and warmth to germinate, the process gives a ‘jump-start’ to the growth cycle.
- Chemistry: The fertilizer (and lime or sulphur if needed) placed in the solution quickly adjusts the existing soil chemistry to provide for sturdy grass plant growth. Your new grass sinks roots into chemically balanced soil, thereby enjoying a growing stimulus when it needs it most.
- Moisture Control: The fibre mulch retains water longer than straw and many other mulches: acts as a soil stabilizer to retard water and wind erosion; reduces surface evaporation from the soil; provides an outstanding germinating medium as it traps moisture around the seed. This is crucial when grass roots are forming.
- It’s not just for grass! Get the same results with our native tree and shrub mix
- We can cover two hectares a day, which makes our Hydromuch the perfect solution for revegetating large mining sites.
