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.

Haymulching is similar to Hydromulching except that the mulch is applied dry. The haymulching process requires seed and fertiliser to be applied first by direct seeding, and a blanket of hay is applied over the seed.

Haymulching machines are pulled behind a truck, and bales of hay are fed into the machine. This machine is a chopper and blower and is capable of blowing a uniform layer of hay over the seed. This hay is held in place by a tackifier to minimise wind loss.
