Hydroseeding in Brewer Point, Murfreesboro

About Brewer Point lots

Brewer Point is a newer community off Burnt Knob Road in the 37129 zip code, zoned to the Stewarts Creek schools. Public listings describe it as a master-planned community with a large share of green space. Homes are being built by several local builders, including Celebration Homes, Ole South Properties and Surrey Homes.

The detail that matters for your lawn is lot size. Listings show lots of roughly a third of an acre up to almost half an acre, and some are described as flat. That is about 13,000 to 21,000 square feet of land before the house goes on it.

What a Brewer Point yard usually needs

On a lot this size, the house, driveway, patio and beds often take up 4,000 to 5,000 square feet, leaving roughly 9,000 to 16,000 square feet of yard. Many Middle Tennessee builders sod the front yard and seed and straw the back and sides, so check what your builder did and what your closing documents say before you plan anything.

Common situations on large new-build lots:

• A big back yard left as seed and straw that never filled in. Builder seeding is often rushed and done outside the right season. Hydroseeding over properly prepared soil is the usual fix.
• Side yards and the strip along the fence. These get the least attention during construction and are often bare clay and gravel.
• Areas torn up after move-in for a pool, fence, irrigation, a shop or a septic or drainage fix.

Rough cost for a Brewer Point yard

At typical Middle Tennessee rates of about 8 to 20 cents per square foot for a residential lawn on prepped soil, the spray on 9,000 to 16,000 square feet comes to roughly $720 to $3,200. Larger, open, flat yards land toward the lower end per square foot because setup is spread over more area. Soil prep, topsoil and slope work are extra. See hydroseeding cost in Middle Tennessee for the details.

For comparison, sodding 12,000 square feet at $1 to $2 or more per square foot installed would run $12,000 to $24,000. On lots this size, the gap between sod and hydroseed is larger than almost anywhere else in Murfreesboro.

Fescue or Bermuda on a big, open lot

Open lots with few trees get full sun, which gives you a real choice:

• Tall fescue stays green most of the year and handles the light shade that comes as trees grow, but it needs water in July and August and thins in hot summers. Seed it in early fall.
• Bermuda loves full sun and heat, spreads to repair itself and takes heavy use, but it goes tan from the first frost until spring. Seed it from late May into early July.

Some owners on large lots use fescue near the house and Bermuda on the far, sunny back section, kept apart by a bed or fence so the Bermuda does not creep. See grass types for Middle Tennessee.

Before you seed

• Read your HOA covenants for any lawn or landscaping requirements, such as sod in front yards or approval for grading changes.
• Walk the yard after a heavy rain to spot low areas and runoff onto or off the lot. Fix drainage first.
• Test the soil through your county UT Extension office. Lime and fertilizer can go into the slurry.
• Plan watering. Ten thousand square feet of new seed needs good sprinkler coverage for the first few weeks.
