Rocky Ground, Big Lots

Hydroseeding in Dripping Springs usually means large lots, rocky ground and long dry spells. The town calls itself the Gateway to the Hill Country, and it sits on US 290 about 23 miles west of Austin. Most of the city drains southwest to Onion Creek, an east-flowing tributary of the Colorado River.

Thin soil over limestone

The hills west of Austin are mostly limestone with a thin covering of topsoil, which is why runoff is fast and flash flooding is common after thunderstorms. On a Dripping Springs lot that means two things: grass has little root zone unless you add soil, and bare ground erodes quickly. We often recommend topsoil for lawn areas and native grass or wildflower seeding for the rest.

Onion Creek downstream

Because most of the city drains to Onion Creek, sediment from new driveways, pads and septic fields ends up there. Silt fence below disturbed areas and hydromulch on raw cuts are simple ways to keep it on the lot.

Growth, planned

Dripping Springs is part of the Sustainable Places Project, which helps Central Texas cities plan livable places as they grow. Growth here tends to come as acreage homesites, venues and small commercial projects, each with large disturbed areas to revegetate.

Wedding capital

Dripping Springs is known as the wedding capital of Texas and is full of venues, wineries, breweries and distilleries. Lawns for ceremonies, overflow parking and pathways all need even, durable cover, and hydroseeding gets a large area green for much less than sod.

Dripping Springs Questions

Can you seed a septic drain field?

Yes. Drain fields need shallow-rooted grass cover to protect the soil. We seed them once the system is installed and inspected.

Should I seed native grass or a lawn on my acreage?

Many owners do both: a lawn near the house with topsoil, and native grass or wildflowers on the rest, which needs far less water.

How do you keep seed on a rocky driveway cut?

We use a heavy hydromulch or bonded fiber matrix that bonds to the surface, and blankets where it is steep.

Can you get a venue lawn ready before wedding season?

Yes, if you plan ahead. Give the grass several weeks of growing weather before heavy foot traffic.
