Hydroseeding in Woodruff, SC

Woodruff began as a crossroads trade center for farm communities in a cotton-growing region, and the land around it is still more open than the suburbs to the north. Hydroseeding in Woodruff tends to cover bigger areas: an acre of new lawn around a country house, a pasture being turned into a yard, or the long banks along a new driveway.

Where the Tygers come together

The north, middle and south Tyger Rivers start as separate forks in Spartanburg County and meet near Woodruff before heading toward the Broad River. Land around a confluence like that collects runoff from a big area. Lots on slopes above the creeks need a sediment plan that assumes heavy flows, which usually means silt fence with wire backing and a blanket in any drainage swale.

Hydro seeding big areas

On a large, open lot, hydroseeding usually costs less than sod and goes down far faster. One tank covers a large area, and the mulch protects the seed from sun and wind on exposed ground. For pasture conversions we kill out the old pasture grass, disc or till, smooth the ground and then spray.

Peach and cotton history

Before World War II, peach growing was the main farm activity here after textiles, with more than 200,000 trees within ten miles of town. Cotton mills arrived between 1898 and 1907. That history left behind a mix of old farm terraces and mill lots, both of which need grading before a lawn looks right.

Long slopes

Open farmland often means one long slope from the house to a creek or road ditch. Water picks up speed over that distance, so we break it up with rows of silt fence or sediment tubes, and we can grade a shallow swale to steer water around the new lawn.
