Taylors Lawns Near Moving Water

The Enoree River flows right through Taylors, and that single fact drives a lot of how we approach hydroseeding in Taylors. Yards that slope toward the river or one of the creeks feeding it lose topsoil every time a storm crosses the county, and bare spots near the water tend to widen year after year instead of healing.

Low ground and creek banks

Grass on a creek bank has to survive water running past it, not just rain falling on it. For those spots we skip plain seed and mulch: the seed goes down first and an erosion control blanket is staked over it, or a bonded fiber matrix goes on banks too steep to walk comfortably. Silt fence goes on the uphill side of any freshly graded area so the river does not get the soil first.

A 1960s growth spurt

Taylors grew from 1,071 people in 1960 to 6,831 in 1970, an increase of more than 500% in a single decade, and it has kept growing to 23,222 in 2020. Houses from that boom now have lawns more than 50 years old, often under tall trees and on soil that has not seen lime in a long time. Lawn renovation and overseeding make up a large part of our work here.

Mill village and resort history

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Chick Springs drew visitors as a small Upstate resort. Later the Southern Bleachery and Print Works, now Taylors Mill, became the area's big employer and was listed on the National Register in 2012. Redevelopment around old industrial sites like that often turns up compacted fill, so we test and loosen the ground before seeding.

Unincorporated, county rules

Taylors is a census-designated place, not a city, so Greenville County's standards apply. On a lot with a live stream, the county's single-family form asks for Army Corps paperwork or an undisturbed 100-foot buffer. We plan grading and spraying so nothing crosses that line.

Taylors Questions

My yard slopes down to a creek. What stops the soil from washing away?

Silt fence above the creek during work, then seed under an erosion control blanket on the bank itself.

Are there special rules because Taylors is unincorporated?

Greenville County's standards apply. If a live stream crosses your lot, plan on a buffer unless you have Corps documentation.

My 1960s lawn is mostly moss and bare dirt. Is it worth saving?

Usually yes. Liming, aerating and a hydroseed renovation can bring it back if there is enough sun.

Can you seed the bank of a drainage ditch?

Yes. Ditches get seed plus a blanket, since running water strips loose mulch.
