Direct seeding generally refers to the various methods of seeding where the seed and fertiliser is placed without large quantities of additional material such as hydromulch. Lanyonscapes is equipped to complete either grass or tree and shrub seeding for all disturbed areas associated with mining or construction.

Seed can be located under the soil surface or on top of the soil depending on species selection and soil type. The method of seeding is determined by factors such as terrain and accessibility, size of job, quality of site preparation, and safety considerations.

Most direct seeding completed by Lanyonscapes is done by tractor with various attachments, or by hydroseeding. Hydroseeding usually contains a quantity of mulch and tackifier to bind seed to soil and prevent wind loss.

Site preparation is very important for all direct seeding jobs, and Lanyonscapes can advise on preparation, soil testing, soil additives, fertilisers, species selection and coated seed options.
