Hydroseeding in Hialeah, FL

Hydroseeding in Hialeah works on land that was open prairie a century ago. The name is commonly traced to Muskogee words meaning pretty prairie, and the city sits on a large prairie between Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. Aviator Glenn Curtiss and cattleman James Bright saw that high prairie in 1921 and platted the town the same year. Today it is one of the densest cities in the country, so most lawns are small and hard-working.

Small yards, heavy wear

In 2010 Hialeah ranked tenth among U.S. cities with more than 10,000 people per square mile. Small front yards, swales between sidewalk and street and side yards take foot traffic, parked cars and constant sun. Lawn repair here means loosening compacted soil, adding topsoil to low spots and reseeding, rather than putting down sod that is expensive for odd-shaped strips.

Water close to the surface

The Biscayne Aquifer, which supplies most of the metro's drinking water, comes closest to the surface around Hialeah and Miami Springs. On construction and remodel sites, that makes sediment control especially sensible. Silt fence and inlet protection keep soil and debris out of the storm drains, and fast cover on bare ground limits what washes off.

Parks and big open areas

The city has more than 14 public parks totaling over 100 acres, and Amelia Earhart Park covers 515 acres nearby. Hialeah Park, the historic 220-acre racetrack, is also an Audubon bird sanctuary. Large sports fields and open areas like these are where hydroseeding pays off the most, covering big spaces evenly at a lower cost than sod.

Swale repair

Grass swales along streets soak up rain in the summer storms. When they are rutted by parking or worn bare, runoff carries sediment to the drain. We regrade the swale, add soil and seed with mulch so it can do its job again.
