Hydroseeding in Miami Springs, FL

Hydroseeding in Miami Springs takes place inside a tight triangle. The core of the city is bounded by NW 36th Street on the south, the Miami River canal on the north and east, and the Ludlam Canal and the Florida East Coast rail yard on the west. Miami International Airport lies right across 36th Street. With canals on two sides, a lot of yards in town either back onto water or drain toward it.

The spring in the name

Shortly before incorporating in 1926, the city was renamed for a local spring that supplied parts of Miami with fresh water until the mid-1990s. The Biscayne Aquifer comes closest to the surface around Miami Springs and Hialeah. For lawn work, that shallow water means low spots stay wet after storms and that anything washing off a yard is close to the water supply. We grade to move water off and use sediment control on any project that leaves soil bare.

Canal banks

Canal-side lots lose soil when banks are bare or mowed too short. We reshape eroded banks, apply erosion control blankets on the slope and seed with hydromulch so roots bind the soil. Silt fence along the top of the bank during work keeps loose soil out of the canal.

Older yards, older trees

Miami Springs was founded by Glenn Curtiss and James Bright during the 1920s land boom as Country Club Estates, one of the state's first planned communities. Many yards date back decades, with big trees, settled soil and thinning grass. Lawn renovation with topsoil, leveling and overseeding often makes more sense than tearing everything out.

Remodels and additions

In a small, built-out city, much of the work is remodels and additions. Even small projects still leave bare soil next to streets and canals. We handle silt fence installation, inlet protection and final seeding once the work is done.
