A Small Town Getting Bigger Fast
Hydroseeding in Buda keeps pace with a town that roughly doubled in a decade, from 7,295 residents in 2010 to more than 15,000. Buda is one of Austin's fastest-growing suburbs, just south of the Travis County line and the Austin city limits. New homes, a busier I-35 corridor and a growing downtown all add up to a lot of bare ground that needs seed.
Onion Creek
Onion Creek flows through the northwest side of Buda on its way to the Colorado River. Construction near the creek or on lots that drain to it should have silt fence on the low side and inlet protection on nearby storm drains. Covering disturbed soil with hydromulch soon after grading keeps it from reaching the creek in the next rain.
Planned with green space
When the town was platted in 1881, it included a 150-foot-wide "Reservation" between the lots and the railroad right-of-way, used as parkland. Older parts of town still have that open, park-like feel, and lawn renovation in established yards and public spaces is part of the work here.
Limestone country
By the mid-1980s Buda had attracted a cement plant. Rocky lots in the area often have little topsoil left once they are graded. Adding topsoil before seeding makes a noticeable difference in how well a lawn holds up through a dry summer.
Commercial growth on I-35
Commercial development along I-35, such as the Cabela's store, brought new pads, parking lot islands and detention areas. These need commercial hydroseeding and permanent stabilization before a project can close.

Buda Questions
My Buda lot drains toward Onion Creek. Should I put up silt fence while I build?
It depends on the permit, but if your lot drains toward the creek it is a good idea for any project that leaves soil bare.
My yard is mostly rock under a thin layer of dirt. What can you do?
We can bring in and grade topsoil so the new lawn has enough root zone, then hydroseed on top.
Can you seed parking lot islands and commercial strips?
Yes. Small commercial areas are quick to hydroseed, and we can add erosion control where they slope.
How long until a Buda hydroseed lawn fills in?
With warm weather and regular watering, you should see green within a couple of weeks and a full lawn in about one to two months.
