Renewing a 1960 Subdivision
Most hydroseeding in Terrytown is renovation. The whole community started as one subdivision, opened to the public on March 6, 1960 by developer Paul Kapelow. Homes from that era were built at the same time, with similar lot sizes and drainage. That means many yards have aged the same way: compacted soil, thin turf and settled spots near the slab.
Same builder, same problems
When a neighborhood is built all at once, the original grading often follows one plan. Over decades, fill settles, tree roots lift the surface and driveways are widened. Before a lawn renovation, we look at how water now moves across the lot and correct it with topsoil and fine grading.
Main roads and edges
Louisiana Highway 23, the Belle Chasse Highway, forms Terrytown's southwest border, and Behrman Highway runs through the east side. Terry Parkway and Carol Sue Avenue cross in the middle. Lots along busy roads collect more debris and runoff, so edges along those streets get extra care when we seed.
A growing population
The population rose from 23,319 in 2010 to 25,278 in 2020. More people means more remodels, additions and rebuilds, and each one leaves bare dirt that needs to be seeded or covered.

Terrytown Questions
Is my 1960s lawn worth saving?
If it is mostly grass and the grade is fine, overseeding works. When weeds or bare dirt have taken over most of it, starting the lawn over is usually money better spent.
What does lawn renovation include?
Killing off weeds, loosening or aerating the soil, correcting low spots with topsoil, then hydroseeding with mulch and fertilizer.
Can you seed where a pool was filled in?
Yes, once the fill has been compacted and settled. We add topsoil on top and seed it.
How long does the job take?
Most single-lot renovations take a day or two of prep and one visit to spray.
