Hydroseeding in Little Elm, TX

Hydroseeding in Little Elm usually means yards in master-planned subdivisions near the water. The town sits along the northern and eastern shores of Lewisville Lake, and central Little Elm is surrounded by the lake on three sides. About 21.8 percent of the town's 18.6 square miles is water, and most residents live in single-family homes built between the late 1990s and the late 2010s.

A flood-control lake

Lewisville Lake was built for flood control and water supply. The Corps of Engineers dam that formed it was completed in 1955, and a 1998 change raised the normal pool from 515 to 522 feet above sea level. Little Elm's average elevation is about 545 feet, so many lakeside lots are not far above the water. Ground near the shoreline should be covered with vegetation that can handle the occasional high-water event, and slopes toward it need blankets or heavier mulch.

Subdivision yards

Homes built from the late 1990s to the 2010s are now old enough that original lawns have thinned, especially where builders seeded or sodded over thin topsoil. We see a lot of lawn renovation: removing dead turf, adding topsoil, correcting grade and hydroseeding again. Thin lawns with a good base can be overseeded instead.

Parks along the water

McCord Park covers 38 wooded acres, and Cottonwood Park in the Lakefront district holds the Cottonwood Creek Marina. Yards that back to parks and greenbelts often have creek-side slopes where erosion control blankets help.

Builder work

The Lakefront district has new apartments and mixed-use projects under construction. Those sites need silt fence and inlet protection during work and stable cover at the end.
