Seeding a City Built on Filled Swamp
Hydroseeding in Kenner covers two different kinds of ground. The older part of the city sits near the Mississippi, while most of north Kenner is former swampland that developers drained and filled starting in the late 1950s. A lawn on each side behaves differently, and we plan the soil prep around which part of Kenner you are in.
North Kenner subdivisions
Growth began when developers subdivided, drained and filled the northern swamp, and Interstate 10 and Veterans Memorial Highway sped it up in the 1960s. Filled lots from that era can settle unevenly and often have a thin layer of topsoil over heavier fill. Before seeding, we check for low spots and bring in topsoil so the new lawn installation has a real root zone.
Between two big waters
Kenner's boundaries are Lake Pontchartrain to the north and the Mississippi River to the south, with Metairie and River Ridge to the east and St. Charles Parish to the west. Everything drains toward pumps and canals. That makes sediment control on construction and remodel sites a practical matter, since mud from a bare lot ends up in shared drainage.
Parks and big open areas
The city has Laketown, a lakefront park with a boat launch, piers and a jogging path, and the Coconut Beach Volleyball Complex, a 22-court man-made sand complex. Large open areas like these show why hydro seeding suits bigger sites: a truck can cover wide ground in one visit and the mulch protects it right away.

Redevelopment ahead
The Esplanade Mall, opened in 1983, is mostly empty and plans are underway to redevelop it. Commercial projects of that size need sediment control during construction and stable ground cover once grading is done.
Kenner Land and Water
- Filled for suburbs. Developers began subdividing, draining and filling the northern swampland in the late 1950s.
- Boundaries. Kenner runs from Lake Pontchartrain on the north to the Mississippi River on the south.
- Sand complex. Coconut Beach is a 22-court volleyball complex, the largest man-made sand complex in the United States.
Kenner Questions
Why does my north Kenner yard keep developing dips?
Much of that area is drained and filled swamp, and fill can keep settling. We top-dress low areas with topsoil before seeding so the grade holds.
Can you seed a large commercial lot after grading?
Yes. Hydroseeding is well suited to large graded pads, and we can add silt fence along the perimeter until the grass takes hold.
Is the soil near the river different?
The riverside part of Kenner sits on older plantation ground near the river, which tends to drain better than reclaimed lots up north. We look at both at the site visit.
Do I need to water a new lawn every day?
In the first few weeks, light daily watering keeps the mulch and seed damp. Then we taper to deeper, less frequent watering.
