Hydroseeding in Mauldin, SC

Mauldin was a village of 1,462 people when it incorporated in 1960 and grew to more than 22,000 by 2010, so many of its homes and yards are now 20 to 50 years old. That is why a big share of hydroseeding work in Mauldin is renovation rather than brand-new lawn installation. Grass that has fought tree roots, compaction and drought for decades eventually gives up in patches.

Why old lawns thin out

Shade grows as neighborhood trees mature, so a yard planted in full sun in the 1980s can be half shade now. Soil gets packed by cars, kids and mowers. Lime washes out of acidic Piedmont clay over the years. We look at all three before recommending a seed mix, because spraying the same grass that already failed just repeats the problem.

Our renovation steps

• Kill or scalp out the weedy areas
• Core aerate or till compacted spots
• Spread topsoil or compost where the clay is exposed
• Re-level low spots that hold water
• Hydroseed and hydromulch the whole area so it fills in evenly

Partial repairs

Not every yard needs the full treatment. After a water line, sewer lateral or drainage trench is dug across a lawn, we backfill, compact lightly, fine grade and hydroseed just the scar so it blends in. Grading crews can also handle the trenching itself when you are adding a French drain or a pipe to move gutter water away from the house.

Interstate edges

Interstate 385 runs along Mauldin's eastern side and meets Interstate 185 at the city's southern edge. Commercial lots and frontage near those roads see a steady stream of resurfacing and expansion. When a paving job disturbs a grass strip or a ditch line, we can put it back with seed and mulch or with an erosion control blanket in the ditch.

Fall overseeding

For fescue lawns, early fall overseeding is the simplest way to thicken things back up. A thin hydroseed pass gives the new seed a mulch layer to hold moisture.
