About Evergreen Landcare
Evergreen Landcare has over 40 years experience in hydroseeding and erosion control.
We are innovative and long-established industry leaders in environmentally sensitive operations in New Zealand.
The original pioneer of hydraulic application of grass mulches in New Zealand, Evergreen has introduced many ‘firsts’ into the land care industry - new hydroseeding and erosion control products specifically adapted to New Zealand conditions.
Evergreen Landcare’s Hydrosoil, Bioblanket, Siltstop, DustGone and Dustbond are just some of the latest technology products to be released into New Zealand. Evergreen Landcare’s success in erosion control is directly attributable to the skill, knowledge and experience of its staff.
Our Core Values
Hydroseed Units
Evergreen Landcare designed, built and introduced hydroseeding into New Zealand in 1969. Since then the units have been redesigned, modified numerous times to suit New Zealand conditions and job size. Units carry a number of hoses and nozzle types to reach inaccessible sites.
Landscape equipment
Kanga bobcats with 4 in 1 buckets, excavators and tip trucks make up the core of our landscape equipment. We also have the small tractors with level bars, rotary hoes etc to cultivate and level sites. This enables us to landscape small residential house sites right through to larger commercial sites.
Tractors and attachments
From 115hp down to 40hp to suit varying sites and conditions with landscape drills, roller drill, power harrow with precision computerised seed and fertiliser applicator, Rotodairon stone burier, mowers, maxitills, harrows and rotary hoes.
Transporters
We have large truck and trailer units with specially built hydraulic ramps. This makes our equipment mobile and efficient between sites.
Straw mulchers
4WD Tractor or Tracked 4WD tractor mounted so the driver is comfortable and safe within an air conditioned cab. Fertiliser and seed can be applied with the straw.

Once again, thank you so much for your wonderful support. Your generous donation to our Branch of over 300sqm of hydro seeded lawn was just fantastic and as you can see from the photo – it looks amazing. We couldn't believe how quickly it grew and how lush it now looks.
Now we have moved into our new Animal Centre, people coming to look at our animals are always commenting on how great the lawn looks.
Thank you for being part of this community project – you are helping us to look after the needy animals of our region through proving a facility that people want to come and see and are happy to spend time at.
