Hydroseeding in Boiling Springs, SC

Boiling Springs takes its name from a spring that once shot water as high as 6 feet into the air. By the 1930s it was barely bubbling, and after a shopping center was built on the lot at Highway 9, its boil dropped off even more. It is a small, local reminder that pavement and grading change how water moves. Hydroseeding in Boiling Springs is one of the ways we keep new construction from making that worse.

Growth since 2000

The community went from 4,544 people in 2000 to 8,219 in 2010 and 10,405 in 2020. Most of that came as subdivisions on former farm and woodland, so a large share of our calls are for new lawn installation on lots builders have just finished.

Near Lake Bowen

Lake Bowen, a 1,534-acre reservoir on the South Pacolet River with 33 miles of shoreline, lies in northern Spartanburg County near Boiling Springs and serves as a public drinking water supply. Sediment is one of the main things that degrades a reservoir. When we work on lots that drain in that direction, silt fence and quick hydromulch cover are part of the plan from day one.

County permits

Boiling Springs is unincorporated, so Spartanburg County rules apply. For minor subdivisions, parcels under one acre use a less-than-one-acre grading permit at $50 per lot, and parcels from one to ten acres need either an NPDES permit or a water quality device for each lot. Under the low impact option, no more than four lots can be disturbed at one time. Builders working that way need each batch of lots seeded promptly to move on to the next.
