Seeding in a Built-Out Suburb

Hydroseeding in Altamonte Springs is mostly redevelopment and repair. The city traces back to 1882, when Massachusetts businessmen named it and built along today's SR 436, and it is now a fully settled northern suburb of Orlando with 46,231 residents in 2020. New construction here tends to be infill: apartments and mixed-use buildings around Uptown Altamonte, a replaced house on an older street, or a utility or road project that tears up a strip of lawn.

Redevelopment sites

The area around Cranes Roost Park and Cranes Roost Lake has been rebuilt as Uptown Altamonte, with large apartment buildings, planned high-rise condos and parking structures. Sites like that need silt fence along the edges, inlet protection on surrounding streets, and fast hydroseed cover on any ground waiting for the next phase.

Protecting the Little Wekiva

The Little Wekiva River drains urban land north and west of Orlando, and the St. Johns River Water Management District has worked with the City of Altamonte Springs and others to rehabilitate it. Sediment from bare lots is part of what that effort fights. On jobs that drain toward it, we keep soil covered and fence the low side.

Lakes in town

About 5.9 percent of the city is water, including Cranes Roost Lake, Lake Orienta and the land around Lake Lotus Nature Park. Lakeside yards and park edges see more runoff. Banks get a heavier hydromulch or blankets.

Older yards

Neighborhoods off SR 436 and Maitland and Longwood avenues have older lawns that have thinned under trees and years of wear. Lawn renovation and overseeding bring them back, and fine grading fixes low spots near walks and drives.

Altamonte Springs Questions

We are building on an infill lot. Do we need silt fence?

On most construction sites, yes. We install it along the low edges and protect street inlets until grass is established.

Can you hydroseed a pad that is waiting for the next building phase?

Yes. A temporary seed and mulch cover holds dust and sediment until construction resumes.

Our yard backs up to a lake. Can you reseed the bank?

Yes. We use extra hydromulch or blankets and stop the spray short of the water.

How do you fix a lawn torn up by a utility trench?

We settle and level the trench, add topsoil and seed the strip to blend with the lawn.
