Hydroseeding in Plano, TX

Hydroseeding in Plano is mostly about second chances. The city's name comes from the Spanish word for flat, and it grew from 17,872 people in 1970 to 222,030 in 2000. Plano is surrounded by other cities and has little undeveloped land left, so most yards we look at were seeded or sodded decades ago and now need lawn renovation rather than a first lawn.

Flat ground, slow drainage

The flat topography helped Plano lay out sewers and streets quickly during its boom. In a yard, though, flat means water has nowhere to go. Years of settling around slabs, tree roots and added beds can leave low spots that hold water. Before we seed, we check the fall away from the house and regrade where needed, then bring in topsoil to level dips.

What renovation looks like

For a tired lawn, we usually scalp or remove dead turf, loosen the surface, correct the grade and hydroseed the whole area so it comes in evenly. Thin lawns that still have a good base can often be overseeded instead. We tell you which approach fits after looking at it.

Parks and creeks

Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve covers 800 acres and Arbor Hills Nature Preserve another 200. Bob Woodruff Park sits near Rowlett Creek on the east side, where a tree estimated at over 200 years old still stands. Homes that back onto creek greenbelts often have a slope at the rear fence that sheds soil in heavy rain; erosion control blankets or a heavier hydromulch hold that bank while grass fills in.

Timing

Plano gets its heaviest average rainfall in May. Late spring seeding with irrigation ready lets that rain help the new lawn instead of washing it.
