Seeding an Older City in Transition

Hydroseeding in Garland often follows something being torn down or rebuilt. The city has seen several big employers replaced in recent years, and old sites have been redeveloped: a former Raytheon campus was demolished and rebuilt as three industrial buildings, and a large Sears distribution building was renovated for Costco. Every one of those projects leaves disturbed ground around new pavement that needs stable cover.

Commercial redevelopment

On redevelopment sites the order matters. Silt fence and inlet protection are set first, ahead of demolition and grading, then hydromulch or bonded fiber matrix covers the final grades so the site can meet erosion control requirements. Detention basin slopes and parking lot islands are common areas for hydroseed on these jobs.

Creeks that named the town

One of the two settlements that merged to form Garland was named Duck Creek, after the local creek. Rowlett Creek also passes through the city on its way to Lake Ray Hubbard. Yards that back onto creek channels tend to have short, steep banks that erode during storms; erosion control blankets and a native-friendly seed mix hold those edges better than bare mulch.

Drought memory

From 1950 to 1954 the Dallas and Garland area went through a long drought, and Garland began using water from Lavon Lake to supplement its wells. Dry years still happen, and drought-stressed lawns thin out and get invaded by weeds. When rains return, overseeding or a full renovation brings them back faster than waiting.

Parks

Garland has 63 parks covering more than 2,880 acres. Many neighborhoods border that green space, and the same clay soils run from park to backyard.

Garland Questions

Can you hydroseed a commercial redevelopment site in Garland?

Yes. We handle silt fence, inlet protection and final cover with hydromulch or bonded fiber matrix on detention slopes and islands.

My Garland lawn died during a dry summer. Do I need sod?

Not necessarily. If the soil is in decent shape, hydroseeding or overseeding after the heat breaks can bring it back.

The creek bank behind my house keeps washing out. What helps?

Erosion control blankets pinned to the bank, plus a seed mix with deep roots, hold it far better than bare soil.

Do you work on small Garland yards?

Yes. We seed single residential lots as well as larger commercial sites.
