New Lawns on Old Cotton Land

Hydroseeding in Arlington is mostly about new homes. The town had 2,569 people in 2000, 11,517 in 2010 and 14,549 in 2020, and a third of residents are under 18, which says a lot about how many young families have moved into new neighborhoods. Each new street means fresh lots that need final grading, topsoil and a lawn established quickly enough to keep mud off driveways and out of the storm drains.

Cotton country first

In the 1850s Arlington, then called Haysville, was a farming community where cotton dominated, and the depot was built mainly to ship it. Land farmed in row crops for generations can be low in organic matter at the surface. Where builders have stripped and stockpiled topsoil, we spread it back before seeding; where they have not, we often recommend bringing some in.

The Loosahatchie runs through it

The Loosahatchie River flows past Arlington on its way west to the Mississippi. Most of its length, and most of its major tributaries, were channelized for agriculture, and its basin has seen heavy urbanization in recent decades. Straight, deep channels move water quickly, so sediment from a bare building site travels far. That is why we take silt fence installation and inlet protection seriously on Arlington jobs.

Builder timing

On subdivision work we try to seed lots as soon as final grade is accepted, rather than leaving bare dirt for weeks. A hydromulch cover protects the soil within a day of application, and the seed fills in from there.

Arlington Questions

We just closed on a new Arlington home with a dirt yard. How soon can you seed?

As soon as the yard is at final grade and the weather allows. We check the soil first and add topsoil if it is mostly subsoil or clay fill.

Do you work directly with subdivision builders?

Yes. We can seed lots in batches as they are finished and handle silt fence and inlet protection during construction.

Why do Arlington builders have to keep mud off the street?

Water from new lots reaches channelized streams that carry it quickly downstream. Keeping soil on site protects those channels and keeps streets clean.

Hydroseed or sod for a new Arlington lawn?

Sod gives an instant lawn at a higher price. A hydroseed lawn costs less and roots well if it is watered properly. We can do a mix, such as sod in the front and seed in the back.
