Renewing Burnsville Lawns

Hydroseeding in Burnsville is mostly about renewing lawns that already exist. The city sits on a bluff overlooking the south bank of the Minnesota River, and it was fully built out by the late 2000s. Population jumped from 2,716 in 1960 to nearly 20,000 in 1970 after Interstate 35W arrived, so many yards are now 50 years old or more.

Ramblers and split-levels

Large pockets of ramblers and split-level homes went up in the 1960s. Those lawns have been through decades of shade, grubs, drought and foot traffic. Our usual approach is a lawn renovation: kill out the weeds, core aerate or till, add topsoil where it has thinned and hydroseed. On lawns that are only thin, overseeding is enough.

Bluff and hills

The bluff over the river and the hilly ground around Buck Hill, a ski area with a 310-foot vertical, mean plenty of sloped yards. Slopes need more than seed. We match the erosion control to the grade, using straw blankets, bonded fiber matrix or tackified hydromulch, and keep roof and driveway water from running straight down the bank.

Redevelopment sites

Since the 2000s Burnsville has seen redevelopment, including four-story residential buildings and the Heart of the City downtown. Infill and commercial sites need silt fence, inlet protection and fast seeding of disturbed ground. We handle commercial hydroseeding as well as residential.

Parks and lakes

Part of Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve and part of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge are in Burnsville, along with lake neighborhoods around Crystal and Orchard Lakes. Work near any of them gets a sediment barrier on the down-slope side.

Burnsville Questions

Our 1960s rambler lawn is mostly weeds. Do we start over?

If weeds and bare soil cover most of it, a renovation with hydroseed usually beats years of patching.

Can you seed a steep yard near the river bluff?

Yes, with the right cover, such as straw blankets or bonded fiber matrix, and water steered away from the slope.

Do you work on commercial redevelopment sites in Burnsville?

Yes. On commercial jobs we put in silt fence and inlet protection and hydroseed the disturbed ground.

Is overseeding enough for a lawn that is just thin?

Often. Core aeration plus overseeding in late summer is a good fix for thin but healthy turf.
