Wide, healthy lawn in front of a family home

New lawns in Wellington & Kapiti

Beautiful new lawns, grown by hydroseeding

Brand-new section or tired old patch of grass, we prepare the ground, choose the right seed mix for your family and your soil, and spray on a lawn that lasts.

Made for your section

The right lawn for the way you live

There's a wide range of turf and seed mixes to choose from, so it pays to get the choice right. A young family needs a hard-wearing lawn that's easy to look after. A formal garden might suit a lawn of finer grasses.

We always select the grass that suits your environment, whether that's Kapiti sand, Wellington clay or an exposed hillside section, and we'll advise you on looking after it once it's up.

Most of our customers are homeowners, but we also grass school grounds, business premises and new builds for developers.

Questions

New lawn questions answered

How much does a new lawn cost?

It depends on the size of the area and how much preparation the ground needs. Hydroseeding can cost less than a quarter of roll-out turf, and we give every customer a free written quote after a site visit.

Will a hydroseeded lawn stand up to kids and dogs?

Yes. We choose hard-wearing grass blends for family lawns. Keep traffic off it until it has been mown a few times and the roots are established.

Can you fix or replace my existing lawn?

We can. Hydroseeding works well for replacing tired or damaged lawns, and we also offer repair, weed control and a free lawn health appraisal.

What do I need to do after it's sprayed?

Mainly water it. Keep it moist for the first 21 days, then mow when the grass reaches 50 to 75 mm. Our new lawn care guide has the details.
