What Mustang Ground Used to Grow
Hydroseeding in Mustang happens on land with a long farming record. Until the middle of the 20th century the town's economy ran on wheat, oats, corn, cotton, sweet potatoes, watermelons and cantaloupes. Until the 1920s, peach and other fruit orchards were the main crops, and dairy and beef took over in the 1940s.
What that means for a new lawn
Former cropland is often well worked but low in organic matter near the surface, and old pasture can be compacted where cattle gathered. We test-dig a few spots, loosen what needs it and add topsoil where grading removed it. Then a seed and hydromulch slurry goes down evenly across the whole lot.
Still growing
Mustang began turning into a bedroom community for Oklahoma City in the 1960s, and it is still adding homes. The 2020 census count was about 14 percent higher than in 2010. Every new street brings bare lots, and bare lots bring mud in the gutter until grass catches. We offer builder packages that include silt fence installation, inlet protection and hydroseeding.
Parks and ballfields
Wild Horse Park holds city hall, a baseball stadium, a soccer field, a pond, playgrounds and a dog park. Large turf areas like that, with heavy foot traffic and a pond close by, are a good example of where we would combine seeding with erosion control along the water's edge.
Small city, flat ground
Mustang covers about 12 square miles with almost no water inside its limits. Most lots are gently sloped, which makes them easy to grade, but water can pond if the final grade is off by even a little. We check the fall before seeding so new grass does not end up in a puddle.

Mustang Questions
Is old farmland good for growing a lawn?
It can be, but it often needs loosening and some organic matter. We check before we seed.
Do you work with builders on new Mustang streets?
Yes. We can handle silt fence, inlet protection and final seeding on each lot.
My yard puddles after rain. Can hydroseeding fix that?
Not by itself. We correct the grade first so water drains, then seed.
Can you seed large turf areas like ballfields?
Yes. Wide, open turf is where a hydroseed truck works most efficiently.
