Seeding Around Anderson's Rivers and Lake

Anderson earned the name Electric City after William C. Whitner generated power at a hydroelectric plant on the Rocky River in 1895. That same river now runs past wetlands protected by the Rocky River Nature Conservancy, and Lake Hartwell sits just west of the city. Hydroseeding in Anderson is shaped by all that water.

Wet ground and wetlands

Low ground near the Rocky River stays wet longer after storms. Seed sprayed on soaked soil can rot or wash, so we do not spray saturated ground. On wet-leaning lots we grade for positive drainage first, sometimes adding a swale or pipe, and then spray once the surface has firmed up.

Lake Hartwell properties

Lake Hartwell covers nearly 56,000 acres with 962 miles of shoreline. Lake lots usually slope toward the water, and every bare foot of slope is a path for sediment. For those properties we use slope stabilization methods, such as erosion control blankets or a sprayed bonded fiber matrix, and we keep silt fence up until the grass is fully rooted.

County permits

Anderson County's stormwater process kicks in when a project proposes one acre or more of disturbance. The county reviews within 20 working days and then forwards the application to the state for NPDES coverage. Seeding dates on larger projects should allow for that review.

Warmer and lower

At about 738 feet, Anderson is lower and a touch warmer than Greenville. July highs average about 90.7 degrees, and yearly precipitation is about 50 inches. Bermuda and other warm-season grasses thrive on open, sunny lots here.

Anderson Questions

My lot stays wet after rain. Can you still hydroseed it?

Yes, after we fix the drainage. We wait for the surface to firm up before spraying.

What do you use on a Lake Hartwell slope?

Usually bonded fiber matrix or blankets, plus silt fence above the shoreline until grass is rooted.

Does Anderson County require a permit for my project?

Its stormwater process starts at one acre of disturbance. Smaller projects may still have city or county requirements.

Is bermuda a good choice in Anderson?

For sunny yards, yes. It handles the heat well.
