Local Erosion Control Contractor for Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast

Florida Hydroseeding & Erosion Control (FHEC) is headquartered in Stuart, in Martin County, so Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast are our home market. We provide hydroseeding, silt fence, turbidity barriers, erosion control mats, fabric-formed concrete, gabions and pond liners in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and Belle Glade, and across Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties: Stuart, Palm City, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach.

Being local means faster mobilization, crews who know the area’s soils and agencies, and a contractor who can get back to a site quickly after a storm.

Our Work Close to Home

  • Vero Beach FDOT project: turf reinforcement mats installed on a canal to protect its banks from scour.
  • SR 710 natural gas pipeline: 40 miles of silt fence, turbidity barriers, finish grading and hydroseeding along State Road 710, which runs through Palm Beach and Martin counties. Read the case study.
  • Utility and solar work: hydroseeding and BMPs on utility and solar sites, using track-mounted equipment on soft ground.

What Makes Palm Beach and Treasure Coast Sites Different

Sandy soil with little organic matter. Around West Palm Beach the soil is mostly sand with only a small amount of organics. It drains fast and holds few nutrients, so we match fertilizer, amendments and mulch to the site and test soils through UF/IFAS extension offices when the stakes are high.

Canals, lakes and coastal waters. Many sites drain to canals, the Lake Worth Lagoon, the St. Lucie River or the Indian River Lagoon. Turbidity barriers and well-maintained silt fence are often required, and inspectors watch them closely.

Wet-season storms and hurricanes. We adjust mulch and tackifier rates for the June to October rainy season and add blankets or turf reinforcement mats where water concentrates.

Permits and Agencies We Work Around

Palm Beach and Treasure Coast projects typically involve the South Florida Water Management District (headquartered in West Palm Beach), FDOT District Four for state roads, 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 keep stabilization on schedule.
