Hydroseeding in Wesley Chapel, FL

Hydroseeding in Wesley Chapel is tied to construction. The community went from about 5,700 residents in 2000 to more than 44,000 in 2010, a jump of nearly 675 percent, and reached almost 65,000 by 2020. Shops at Wiregrass, Tampa Premium Outlets, The Grove and Cypress Creek Town Center all opened during that boom. Projects like those, and every subdivision around them, needed graded ground covered before it could be signed off.

What builders call us for

On subdivision and commercial work, we spray hydroseed or hydromulch on retention ponds, swales, berms and lot backs, and we install silt fence and inlet protection during grading. Bonded fiber matrix goes on steep pond slopes that would wash with a lighter mulch. Seeding in phases keeps the amount of bare soil small at any one time.

Inland weather swings

Wesley Chapel is inland and somewhat higher than the coast, which gives it more temperature variation than Tampa. Cold nights in winter come more often here, so warm-season grass seeding is best planned for spring and summer, with temporary cover or mulch on sites that must be stabilized in winter.

Twin creeks

The area was first called Double Branch for its twin creeks. Creeks, wetlands and cypress heads still run between the new neighborhoods, and they are the first place sediment shows up after a storm. Keeping silt fence maintained on the downhill side of lots near those areas is the most important part of erosion control here.

From timber to rooftops

Early industries were lumber harvesting and turpentine, followed by citrus, cash crops and livestock ranching. The big timber holdings later became sizable ranches, and much of the newer housing sits on land with that history. Old pasture soil can be compacted from decades of grazing, so we loosen it before seeding home lawns.

Homeowners too

For homeowners, we seed new lawns, repair thin builder sod and reseed after pool or drainage work. Get a free estimate or call (813) 343-2450.
