Florida Hydroseeding & Erosion Control (FHEC) provides hydroseeding, erosion and sediment control, silt fence, turbidity barriers, erosion mats, fabric-formed concrete, gabions and pond liners across Collier and Lee counties, including Naples, Marco Island, Immokalee, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Estero and Lehigh Acres. We work for general contractors, developers, utilities, airports, FDOT and public agencies, and we take on residential slopes and lots too.
Rainfall and timing. Most of the region’s rain falls in the June through October wet season, often as intense afternoon storms. Hydroseed and BMPs installed without the right mulch rate, tackifier or blanket can wash out in a single event, so we plan stabilization around the season.
Wet, sandy and low-lying ground. Coastal sands, shell fill and high water tables are common from Naples to Cape Coral. We often pair hydroseeding with erosion control blankets, turf reinforcement mats or fabric-formed concrete on pond banks, swales and canal edges that see moving water.
Next to wetlands and the Everglades. Many sites drain toward sensitive waters, so turbidity barriers and silt fence have to be installed and maintained correctly. Near the Everglades, aggressive native grasses such as maidencane can make Bahia hard to establish, which shapes the seed mix we recommend.
Southwest Florida projects typically fall under the South Florida Water Management District for environmental resource permitting, FDOT District One for state roadway work, and Florida DEP’s NPDES Construction Generic Permit for sites disturbing an acre or more. We install and maintain BMPs to the project’s SWPPP and plans, and coordinate with superintendents and inspectors so stabilization keeps pace with the schedule.
Yes. We regularly mobilize crews and equipment to Collier and Lee counties for commercial, public and residential projects.
Hydroseeding can be done year-round. In the wet season we increase mulch and tackifier rates or add blankets on slopes; in the dry season, irrigation becomes the deciding factor.
Yes. FHEC works to FDOT, airport authority and agency specs, including night work on active airfields.
