Lawns in a Town Surrounded by Water

Hydroseeding in Wylie takes place in a city that is unusually wet on the map. Wylie covers about 35.3 square miles, and about 14.3 of those, roughly 40 percent, are water. The city sits between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard, and much of its ground slopes toward one or the other. That makes erosion control and sediment control a regular part of the job.

The Lavon connection

Lavon Dam, about five miles north of town, was built from 1948 to 1953 to impound the East Fork of the Trinity River. It was designed to stop seasonal flooding of rich bottomland in northeastern Collin County and to store water. Wylie houses the offices of the North Texas Municipal Water District, which draws on the lake. Yards and sites near tributaries feed that supply, so we keep soil on site with silt fence and fast hydromulch cover.

Prairie farmland

The two railroads and the rich agricultural land of the Blackland Prairies helped Wylie grow, and dairy farming supplied Dallas during the Depression years. Former farm and dairy ground under new subdivisions is often compacted and low in topsoil. We loosen the surface, add topsoil where needed and seed onto a graded, drained yard.

Hail year repairs

On April 11, 2016, a hailstorm with softball-sized stones damaged an estimated 80 percent of homes in Wylie. Roof and siding replacement after storms like that brings heavy trucks, dumpsters and ladders onto lawns. We repair those tracks with regrading and hydroseed rather than patching sod.

Season

Wylie has hot summers and mild, rainy winters. Late spring is our preferred seeding window for warm-season lawns.

Wylie Questions

Why does erosion control matter so much in Wylie?

Much of the city drains to Lavon Lake or Lake Ray Hubbard, both water supplies. Keeping soil on site protects them and your yard.

Can you fix lawn damage from roof replacement?

Yes. We level ruts from trucks and dumpsters, add topsoil and hydroseed the damaged area.

Is my Wylie subdivision soil good for grass?

Former farm ground is fertile clay but often compacted after construction. Loosening and topsoil make a big difference.

When should I hydroseed in Wylie?

Late spring into early summer is best for warm-season grass, with irrigation ready from day one.
