In this guide, we answer the most common questions about hydroseeding, provide practical tips, and explain how you can hire the Master Hydro Seeder to get the job done efficiently across New Zealand.

How Do I Prepare the Ground for Hydroseeding?

Proper preparation is critical for a successful hydroseed. Follow these steps:

1. Clear the Area (if possible): Remove rocks, weeds, and debris to give seeds the best chance to establish.
2. Grade the Soil (recommended): Smooth and level the surface, ensuring gentle slopes for drainage.
3. Loosen the Soil (highly beneficial): Till to a depth of 2–3 inches to improve seed-to-soil contact.
4. Add Topsoil (optional but helpful): A thin layer of quality topsoil can boost germination and growth.

Tip: For each 2000L tank load, we recommend 5 mulch bales*, which covers roughly 400sqm.

We recommend customers provide the seed themselves due to differences in seed type, application rates, and project requirements. This ensures you use the right seed for your specific project.

*Bales sold by Allways Hire are priced at $147 excluding GST.

What Is the Process of Hydroseeding?

Hydroseeding involves spraying a slurry mixture of seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water onto prepared soil. The steps are straightforward:

1. Mixing: Combine your seed, mulch, fertilizer, and water in the hydroseeder.
2. Application: Use the Master Hydro Seeder to evenly spray the mixture over the prepared area.
3. Maintenance: Water regularly to keep the seed moist and encourage germination.

Hydroseeding is particularly effective for large or sloped areas, providing faster and more consistent results than traditional hand-seeding methods.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

• Avoid hydroseeding in extremely windy conditions, which can affect coverage.
• Ensure the soil is slightly moist before application for better seed contact.
• Water the area consistently for the first 2–3 weeks until the grass is established.
