Florida Hydroseeding & Erosion Control (FHEC) provides hydroseeding, silt fence, turbidity barriers, erosion control mats, fabric-formed concrete and filter point linings, gabions and pond liners throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties: Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, Homestead, Miami Gardens, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Pompano Beach and Coral Springs, plus the Upper Keys. We work for general contractors, developers, FDOT, airports, utilities and public agencies, and we take on residential projects too.
These projects were described in a 2016 Erosion Control magazine profile of FHEC; see our SR 710 pipeline case study.
Thin soil over limestone. Much of Miami-Dade has shallow soil over limestone, with sandy fill on many sites. Seed, amendments and mulch rates have to match that ground, or vegetation struggles to establish.
Canals, lakes and a high water table. South Florida’s canal system and high water table mean many sites drain straight to water. Turbidity barriers, silt fence and armored linings on canal banks and outfalls are often where the real risk is.
Intense wet-season storms. Heavy afternoon rain from June through October can strip unprotected hydroseed. We raise mulch and tackifier rates in the wet season and add blankets or turf reinforcement mats on slopes and swales.
Projects here typically involve the South Florida Water Management District, FDOT District Six (Miami-Dade and Monroe) or FDOT District Four (Broward), county environmental review, and Florida DEP’s NPDES Construction Generic Permit for sites disturbing an acre or more. We install and maintain BMPs to your SWPPP and plans and coordinate with inspectors so stabilization keeps up with the schedule.
