From the Trinity to Joe Pool Lake

Hydroseeding in Grand Prairie changes from one end of the city to the other. Grand Prairie stretches across parts of Dallas, Tarrant and Ellis counties, and about 9 of its 81 square miles are water. The north side sits along the West Fork of the Trinity River; the south side runs down to Joe Pool Lake. The name itself comes from 1850s maps that labeled the land between Dallas and Fort Worth the grand prairie of Texas.

Johnson Creek flooding

Johnson Creek, a major tributary of the Trinity, runs through the city, and Grand Prairie has a long history of flooding from it. In the 1980s the Army Corps of Engineers straightened the channel, which reduced flood damage. Lots near the creek and its drainage ways still take on fast water in big storms. We grade those yards to move water along, not across, the lawn and use erosion control blankets on channel-side banks.

South toward Joe Pool

Joe Pool Lake, filled by 1989, is fed mostly by Mountain Creek and Walnut Creek and is one of the few Texas lakes that drains north. Newer neighborhoods in south Grand Prairie sit on rolling ground above it, where slopes are steeper and runoff heads toward the lake. Silt fence on the low side of lots and fast hydromulch cover keep sediment out of the water.

Builder and commercial ground

With decades of aviation, defense and industrial sites, Grand Prairie has plenty of commercial ground being rebuilt. Detention ponds, channel slopes and landscape islands on those sites are good fits for hydroseed and bonded fiber matrix.

Lawn installs

For homeowners, we handle the full job: fine grading, topsoil, seeding and a watering plan. Late spring is the best time for warm-season grass.

Grand Prairie Questions

My Grand Prairie lot is near Johnson Creek. How do you keep the lawn from washing out?

We grade so water moves along the yard edge, not across it, and put blankets on any bank by the channel.

Can you seed a sloped lot in south Grand Prairie near Joe Pool Lake?

Yes. Heavier mulch or blankets on the slope and silt fence at the bottom hold soil until grass is rooted.

Do you hydroseed commercial detention ponds?

Yes. Pond slopes are a common job, often with bonded fiber matrix for the steeper faces.

What time of year should I seed in Grand Prairie?

Late spring into early summer works best for warm-season grass, with irrigation running.
