Powdersville Between River and Interstate

Powdersville sits in the northern corner of Anderson County, boxed in by the Saluda River on the northeast, the Pickens County line on the northwest and Interstate 85 on the southeast. Hydroseeding in Powdersville has picked up with the population, which grew 42% in the 2000s and another 31.6% in the 2010s to reach 10,025.

The Saluda edge

The Saluda River forms Powdersville's border with Greenville County. Property on the slopes above it drains straight toward the river, so we treat grading there carefully: smaller disturbed areas at a time, silt fence before the dozer arrives and seed and mulch as soon as each section is finished, rather than leaving the whole lot bare until the end.

Anderson County, not Greenville

Because Powdersville is in Anderson County, Greenville County's rules do not apply. Anderson County's stormwater process starts when a project proposes one acre or more of land disturbance, and the department takes up to 20 working days to review an application before it goes to the state for NPDES coverage. For larger lots and small developments, that review time is worth building into your schedule so seeding does not get pushed into a bad season.

Interstate commercial strip

Exits 39 and 40 on I-85 have pulled shops, offices and service businesses toward the southeast side. Those sites come with road-facing slopes and detention basins that need fast cover. Bonded fiber matrix works well there because it sticks to steep faces right after spraying.

New homes, new lawns

Powdersville had 4,247 housing units in 2020, and new ones keep going up. For a single-family lot we usually:

Fine grade and spread topsoil
