Hydroseeding in Wimberley, TX

Hydroseeding in Wimberley is mostly about holding ground on slopes and near water. Cypress Creek runs through the town square and joins the Blanco River here, and the town grew up around a mill on Cypress Creek beginning in 1856. Jacob's Well and Blue Hole are both on Cypress Creek. Much of the work in this valley is keeping soil out of that water.

Learning from 2015

On May 25, 2015, the Blanco River crested at an estimated 41.5 feet in Wimberley, almost 30 feet above flood stage. Floods like that strip banks and leave bare, scoured ground. Rebuilding vegetation on riverside and creek-side property calls for erosion control blankets, bonded fiber matrix on steep banks, and grass or native seed that can root deep.

Valley slopes

The Wimberley Valley is ringed by hills; the 208 steps up Mount Old Baldy give a full view of it. Homes and driveways cut into these slopes leave raw banks that shed soil every rain. Hydroseeding with a heavy hydromulch, or blankets on the steepest parts, is a practical slope stabilization approach.

Limestone and thin soil

The buildings around the square have limestone facades, and the same rock sits under much of the valley. Many lots have shallow soil, so we check depth before promising a thick lawn. Where soil is thin, native grass and wildflower seeding often makes more sense than turf.

Wedding venues and wineries

Wimberley is known for wineries, breweries and event venues. Parking areas, lawns and paths at these properties are good candidates for hydroseeding, which gives a natural look on a budget.
