Old Oaks, Old Homes, Lots of Shoreline

Hydroseeding in Maitland works around history and water. The city has 21 lakes, the largest being 451-acre Lake Maitland, and about 17.8 percent of its area is water. It was incorporated as a town in 1885, and its early aldermen lined the streets with oaks. Those trees, the century-old homes and the shorelines all shape how we prep and seed.

Under big oaks

Large oaks shade lawns, compete for water and leave surface roots. Cutting into the root zone to grade a lawn can hurt a tree that took a century to grow. We keep grading shallow near trunks, add a thin layer of topsoil instead of digging, and choose seed suited to partial shade.

The historical corridor

Maitland's historical corridor runs through the Lake Lily and Lake Catherine area, where homes and buildings from the 1880s through the 1930s still stand. Work near those properties calls for care with old walks, walls and plantings. Hydroseed hose lets us reach yards without heavy equipment.

Lakeside parks and yards

The city has many parks along its lakes. Lakefront lawns slope toward the water, and bare soil there ends up in the lake. We protect the shoreline with a wattle or short silt fence, use tackifier and blanket steeper banks.

From groves to suburb

The area was put into extensive citrus production after the Civil War. Orlando's growth reached Maitland in the mid-1920s, and the town grew quickly with new roads and houses. Many lawns are on that 1920s and later ground and have seen several rounds of regrading, so we check soil depth and drainage before seeding.

Maitland Questions

Can you grade our lawn without damaging our old oak?

Yes. We avoid cutting into the root zone and raise low spots with a thin topsoil layer instead.

Our yard runs down to Lake Maitland. What do you do differently?

We put a wattle or silt fence above the shoreline, use tackifier and add blankets on steeper banks.

We restored a historic home and the yard is torn up. Can you match the old lawn?

We regrade the disturbed areas and seed or overseed so the new grass blends with what is left.

How much sun does grass need under oaks?

Most lawn grasses need several hours of sun. In deep shade we suggest mulch or groundcover instead.
