Hydroseeding in Rosemount, MN

Hydroseeding in Rosemount usually happens on land that was farmed until recently. Rosemount was organized in 1858 as one of Dakota County's first 17 townships, and many of its original settlers were Irish Catholics. It sits on the southern edge of the Twin Cities area. New neighborhoods have been spreading onto that ground, and each one needs new lawns, sediment control and grading.

War plant to research fields

During World War II, Rosemount was home to the Gopher Ordnance Works, which made smokeless powder. In 1947 the University of Minnesota took over part of that land for agricultural research, now known as UMore Park. Large tracts that stayed open for decades are the kind of ground that gets developed in big phases, with wide graded areas that need seeding fast.

Large graded areas

When a whole phase of a subdivision is graded at once, wind and rain can move a lot of soil before houses go up. Commercial hydroseeding with hydromulch gives temporary cover on those areas quickly, and silt fence along the perimeter keeps sediment off streets and out of ponds.

Open, windy lots

Rosemount sits around 965 feet in elevation, on open former farmland with few trees on newer streets. Full sun and steady wind dry a seedbed quickly. We use a full mulch rate and a watering plan matched to that exposure.

Roads with history

Dodd Road, one of Minnesota's earliest roads, was started in 1853 and ran through western Rosemount. Older farmsteads and roadside lots along these corridors sometimes need regrading where ditches and driveways have shifted water over the years.
