Florida Hydroseeding & Erosion Control (FHEC) provides hydroseeding, silt fence, turbidity barriers, erosion control mats, fabric-formed concrete, gabions and pond liners across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, Plant City, Wesley Chapel and Lakeland. We work for general contractors, developers, utilities, solar builders, FDOT and public agencies, and we take on residential projects too.
FHEC’s hydroseeding roots go back to Tampa: a 20-acre seeding requirement on a demolition project at MacDill Air Force Base. Today the company handles large-acreage work across Florida, from a 40-mile pipeline corridor to airports and utility-scale solar sites.
Subdivisions, commercial sites and solar farms. Growth along I-75, I-4 and US-301 means big disturbed areas that need fast, compliant stabilization. Our fleet includes truck-mounted and track-mounted Finn HydroSeeders, so we can cover large acreage and work on soft ground without rutting it.
Seed matched to the season. Temporary cover is rye in the cooler months and millet in summer, and permanent stands are Bahia and Bermuda, with soil testing through UF/IFAS extension offices when needed.
Wet-season storms and coastal water. Heavy summer rain and sites draining to Tampa Bay and its rivers make turbidity barriers, silt fence maintenance and slope protection critical from June through October.
Tampa Bay projects typically involve the Southwest Florida Water Management District for environmental resource permitting, FDOT District Seven (Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco) or FDOT District One (Polk) for state roads, county environmental review, and Florida DEP’s NPDES Construction Generic Permit for sites disturbing an acre or more.
Yes. We mobilize crews and equipment to Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties for commercial, public, solar and residential projects.
Yes. Our truck-mounted and track-mounted HydroSeeders are built for large acreage, and we phase work around other trades.
