New Lots Surrounded by Water

Hydroseeding in Groveland means working in a city where water is never far away. Of Groveland's 27.46 square miles, about 6.62 square miles, or 24.1 percent, is water. New subdivisions here are laid out between lakes and low ground, so nearly every lot drains toward something worth protecting.

Development pace

The city has been growing fast enough that in 2022 it passed an outdoor lighting ordinance specifically to manage the effects of ongoing rapid development. In 2023 it became the first certified International Dark Sky Community in Florida and the Southeast. For seeding, that growth means many lots at final grade at the same time, plus pond banks, road shoulders and common areas needing permanent cover.

Silt fence before grading

With so much water in town, sediment control comes first. On builder jobs we install silt fence along the low edges before grading starts, protect storm inlets, and keep fence in repair through the wet season. Once grass holds, the fence comes out so it does not end up in a new owner's yard.

Pond banks and swales

Retention ponds in new neighborhoods take runoff from every roof and driveway. Their banks are the first places to wash. We seed banks with heavier hydromulch or erosion control blankets and stabilize swales with blankets where water moves fast.

Lawns for new owners

Builder lawns often thin out after the first hot summer, especially on sandy lots with little topsoil. We fix low spots, add topsoil where it is needed and seed bare ground or overseed thin areas. A simple watering plan for the first month makes the biggest difference.

Groveland Questions

Our new home backs up to a pond. Should the bank be seeded differently?

Yes. Pond banks get erosion control blankets or extra hydromulch because they take runoff from the whole street.

When should silt fence go up on a new Groveland lot?

Before grading starts, along the low edges, and it should stay until the grass is established.

My builder lawn died in the summer heat. What now?

We add topsoil where the sand is leanest, seed the bare areas and overseed thin ones, then set up a watering plan.

Can you seed several lots in a phase in one visit?

Yes. Hydroseed covers large areas quickly, so we can work through a phase as lots reach final grade.
