What Our Hydroseeding Does for Your Property
Hydroseeding is a fast, cost-effective way to grow healthy grass using a spray mix of seed, mulch, water, and fertilizer. At Rapid Refresh, we tailor each blend to suit your Christchurch property, creating lush lawns without the expense of traditional turf.
Hydroseeding Mix Components
Hydroseeding uses a slurry of water, seed, mulch, fertiliser, and tackifier. We customise each blend based on your soil and exposure, ensuring healthy, even growth for all Christchurch properties, no generic mixes here.
Advantages Over Traditional Lawns
Hydroseeding provides faster coverage than hand seeding and is more affordable than turf. The mulch protects young grass and retains moisture, making it ideal for large or sloped areas across Canterbury.
Hydroseeding Steps and Setup
We prepare your site by clearing weeds and levelling the ground. Then we apply the hydroseed evenly for consistent results. The process is quick, effective, and tailored to your lawn goals.
Aftercare for Lasting Results
Success depends on care. We’ll guide you on watering, mowing, and feeding during the early stages. Our team stays available for any follow-up advice to help your lawn thrive long-term.

Why Hydroseeding is Beneficial For You
Hydroseeding is a practical and effective solution for establishing healthy lawns and landscapes across Christchurch. Our team at Rapid Refresh uses this method to deliver reliable results for homeowners and property managers, with distinct advantages over traditional lawn installation techniques.
Fast, Consistent Lawn Growth
Hydroseeding promotes quick germination, with growth often visible in 7–10 days. The slurry delivers seed, fertiliser, and mulch in one go, encouraging even coverage and fast establishment while limiting early weed growth.
Reliable Erosion and Dust Control
On sloped or exposed sites, hydroseeding forms a protective layer that reduces soil movement and dust. The mulch and tackifier help anchor roots quickly, protecting both new lawns and nearby structures.
Flexible Blends for Local Sites
We customise each hydroseeding mix to suit Christchurch’s soils and climate. From drought-tolerant turf to native grass options, tailored blends ensure fewer bare spots and a lawn that suits your needs.
Cost and Labour Efficiency
Hydroseeding is quicker and more affordable than laying turf, especially on large or tricky sites. Our team covers wide areas fast, reducing labour and giving you consistent, long-lasting lawn results.

Why Choose Hydroseeding Over Instant Turf
Deciding between hydroseeding and instant turf for your Christchurch property comes down to your priorities with budget, timing, and ongoing care. Here’s what our team at Rapid Refresh has seen and why many local homeowners are choosing hydroseeding.
Lawn Establishment Timeframe
Instant turf provides immediate coverage and walkability within weeks. Hydroseeding shows growth in 7–10 days but takes longer to mature. If time allows, hydroseeding is more than sufficient for most homes.
Lawn Installation Costs
Hydroseeding is far more affordable than turf, especially for larger areas. It offers even, reliable coverage without the premium cost of pre-grown lawn rolls.
Erosion and Slope Stability
Hydroseeding holds better on slopes due to its tacky mulch mix. Turf can dry out or shift before it roots, especially on uneven or erosion-prone ground.
Seed Blend Customisation
Hydroseeding offers tailored blends for sun, shade, pets, or high-traffic zones. Turf options are fixed, while hydroseeding suits Christchurch’s varying site needs.

Our Hydroseeding Process
Hydroseeding is our preferred method for establishing new lawns or repairing patchy grass across Christchurch and Canterbury. Here’s how we do it, and what you can expect if you’re considering hydroseeding for your own property.
Assessing Your Site Conditions
We begin with a detailed inspection of your property, checking soil type, drainage, sunlight, and site layout. Whether it’s a full bare patch or a smaller repair area, this helps us choose the right seed mix. Getting the setup right leads to more reliable and even growth.
Preparing the Ground Properly
We clear weeds, level the surface, and condition the soil so it can absorb the hydroseed mixture. Proper prep helps the slurry stick, especially on slopes or dry patches. It’s the foundation of a healthy, lasting lawn.
Applying the Seed Mix Evenly
Our crew sprays the slurry using equipment that suits your site access and contours. This ensures full coverage without overspray or missed spots. We also give you clear care tips for watering and early maintenance.
Managing Water and Growth
After seeding, we guide you on how often to water for strong root development. If you spot patchiness or slow growth, we’re available to help assess and adjust. Early care is key to getting consistent results.
Inspecting Results & Follow-Up
Once growth is underway, we return for a quick inspection to confirm everything is progressing as expected. Any concerns are addressed on the spot. We’re always available for questions and advice as your lawn matures.
