Room to Grow in Belle Chasse
Hydroseeding in Belle Chasse is often about scale. The CDP covers 28.4 square miles, of which 24.9 square miles is land, a much larger footprint than most nearby suburbs. With more space, lots tend to be bigger, and big lawns are where hydroseed beats sod on price by the widest margin.
Bigger lots, one pass
A hydroseed truck can spray a large yard in a single visit. Seed, mulch and fertilizer go down together, so even a lot of an acre or more is covered the same day. For owners of larger properties, that makes new lawn installation practical without rolling out pallets of sod.
Growing and changing
The 2019 American Community Survey estimated 14,024 people, up from 12,679 in 2010, while the 2020 census counted 10,579. Either way, Belle Chasse is the largest community in Plaquemines Parish, and new homes and commercial buildings keep the dirt work steady.
A name tied to the land
Belle chasse means beautiful hunting in French, and one widely held belief is that settlers named it for the richness of wildlife they found. With 3.5 square miles of water inside the CDP, much of the area is still close to marsh and open water. Sediment control on building sites protects that water.

Belle Chasse Questions
Is hydroseed cheaper than sod on a one-acre lot?
Usually by a wide margin. The written estimate shows the exact price for your lot.
Can you seed a pond bank?
Yes. Banks get a rolled blanket or a sprayed fiber matrix over the seed so it stays put.
Do you install silt fence for new homes?
Yes. We set it along the low side of the lot before grading and remove it once the yard is established.
How far into Plaquemines do you go?
Belle Chasse and nearby areas are in our usual range. Ask about locations farther down the parish.
Can you build up a low corner before seeding?
Yes. We bring in topsoil or fill, grade it to drain and then hydroseed.
