Seeding Around the Lake Chain

Hydroseeding in Lino Lakes means working near water almost everywhere. Of the city's 33.2 square miles, nearly 5 are water. Rice Creek flows through the city, and the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve covers a large part of it. Baldwin, Rice, Reshanau, Marshan, George Watch, Centerville, Peltier and Rondeau Lakes form a cluster that the Dakota prized for its wild rice and small game.

Still developing

In 2010, 44 percent of the city's land was developed, up from 37 percent in 2000. That means new subdivisions are still going in next to wetlands and lakes. Each one needs silt fence installation and inlet protection during grading and fast seeding afterward to keep sediment out of the creek and lakes.

Wetland edges

Lots that border wet ground do better with a native or wet-tolerant seed mix along the edge than with turf grass that will drown in a wet spring. We can hydroseed turf on the higher ground and a native buffer at the wetland line in one visit. The buffer also filters runoff before it reaches the water.

Glacial lake country

The lakes here formed as glaciers retreated and left ice chunks that melted into depressions. In a wet spring, low spots on today's lots still hold water. We grade so the lawn sheds water to a swale or pond, and we keep new seed out of the bottoms that stay wet.

Lino Lakes Questions

Our new lot backs onto a wetland. What should we seed at the edge?

A native or wet-tolerant mix along the wetland and turf grass on the higher ground.

Do Lino Lakes builders need silt fence near Rice Creek?

On graded land draining to the creek or lakes, silt fence and inlet protection are standard and often required.

Water sits in one corner of our yard every spring. Can you fix it?

We regrade so the lawn drains to a swale or pond and keep the wettest low spot out of the turf area.

Can you seed both a lawn and a shoreline buffer at once?

Yes. We spray turf and native mixes in the same visit.
