Seeding a Town Split by a County Line

Fountain Inn grew 33.6% between 2010 and 2020 and has kept going since, and hydroseeding in Fountain Inn now covers everything from tight subdivision lots to larger parcels on the town's rural edge. The town took its name from an inn and a fountain on an old stagecoach route, and Main Street still follows Highway 14 through the middle of it.

Which county are you in?

Most of Fountain Inn sits in Greenville County, but the southern part lies in Laurens County. As of 2023 about 2,639 residents lived on the Laurens side. That matters for erosion control, because the two counties do not run the same permit offices or inspections. Before we stake silt fence or plan a seed date, we confirm which county issued the permit and what it expects at final inspection.

Larger lots, longer slopes

Toward the edges of town, lots get bigger and some still border fields and woods. A long, unbroken slope lets runoff pick up speed. Greenville County's standard caps the overland slope length draining to a silt fence at 100 feet, so on long lots we break the slope with extra rows of fence, sediment tubes or a temporary swale until the grass takes over.

Interstate 385 frontage

I-385 runs along the town's southern edge, and new commercial and light industrial pads keep showing up near the interchange. Those pads usually need hydromulch on the fill slopes, inlet protection on new storm drains and a seeded detention pond.

Fountain Inn Questions

Does it matter if my house is on the Laurens County side?

Yes, for permits and inspections. We check which county issued your permit and plan the erosion control to match.

My lot is long and slopes toward a field. What do you do?

We break up the slope with extra fence rows or sediment tubes so water slows down before it reaches the bottom.

Can you seed a detention pond on a commercial site?

Yes, along with hydromulch on fill slopes and inlet protection on new drains.

What grass do you recommend in Fountain Inn?

Bermuda for full sun, a fescue blend for shade. We decide on site.
