New Neighborhoods on Old Railroad Ground

Hydroseeding in Manor follows the same path the town always has: growth along the line to Austin. James Manor settled on Gilleland Creek, and in 1871 he donated right-of-way so the Houston and Texas Central Railway would pass through what became the town. Today the growth comes in subdivisions such as ShadowGlen, Wildhorse Creek and Stonewater, each with parks, playscapes and multi-use fields that need turf.

Subdivision common areas

New neighborhood amenities mean multi-use fields, drainage corridors and open space. These are ideal for hydroseeding: wide areas that need even cover quickly at a cost that sod cannot match. We can seed fields for play and use native or low-input mixes on drainage areas that will not be mowed often.

Gilleland Creek

Manor's founder settled on Gilleland Creek, which runs west of downtown. Construction near the creek and its tributaries should have silt fence along the downhill edge and stabilized swales, so sediment stays on the lot instead of in the water.

An airport that went elsewhere

Manor was once considered for a new international airport, but environmental lawsuits slowed it until the closure of Bergstrom Air Force Base opened another option.

Parks and ponds

East Metro Park, just southeast of town, has ball fields, soccer fields, trails and stock ponds. Pond edges and field margins are the kind of ground where erosion control blankets and hydromulch prevent washouts.

East-side soil

Manor sits east of Austin, where the city's soils are mostly deep clays and loams. Clay lots need good grading and patience with moisture before seeding.

Manor Questions

Do you seed HOA fields and open space?

Yes. We seed multi-use fields, drainage corridors and amenity areas, and can suggest mixes for areas that will see little mowing.

How long before a new field can be used?

Usually several weeks after germination, once the grass has rooted and been mowed a few times. Heavy play needs a full season.

My lot drains toward a creek. What should I do during construction?

Put silt fence on the low side, keep the street inlet protected, and get seed or hydromulch on bare ground as soon as grading is done.

Can you overseed a thin builder lawn?

Yes. If the soil is reasonable, overseeding is cheaper than starting over.
