Hydroseeding in Medley, FL

Hydroseeding in Medley is mostly commercial work. The town is small, with about a thousand residents in 2020, but its tax base is industrial development. It is home to a Rinker plant and the Titan America Pennsuco Cement Plant, along with many yards and warehouses. On sites like these, grass is about keeping soil and dust in place and meeting site-plan requirements, not about a showcase lawn.

Canal-side sites

The Miami Canal forms Medley's border with Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens, and about 15% of the town's area is water. Industrial lots near the canal need strong sediment control. Silt fence along the low edge of the lot, protection at every drain inlet and fast cover on bare soil keep sediment out of the canal.

Berms, setbacks and swales

Industrial properties often have earth berms, landscape setbacks along roads and drainage swales. These areas are easy to neglect and hard to mow until something grows on them. Hydroseeding with a tough warm-season grass and a heavy mulch rate gets them covered, and erosion control blankets on the steeper berm faces keep the soil from sliding off in summer storms.

Dust and bare ground

Bare dirt on a busy site blows around in the dry season and washes off in the wet season. A seeded cover helps in both seasons. On areas still in use, we can apply hydromulch alone as a temporary cover until permanent grass makes sense.

Old farm roots

Sylvester Medley settled here in 1905 and farmed until his death in 1950, and the town incorporated in 1949. Some parcels still carry fill and old grade from that era. Our grading crews handle land grading, topsoil placement and excavation and trenching for drainage before seeding.
