Seeding Upstream of the Water Supply

Hydroseeding in Huntersville carries more weight than it does in most towns, because much of this town drains straight into drinking water. West of NC 115, most of Huntersville drains southwest through McDowell Creek to Mountain Island Lake, which supplies drinking water to more than a million people in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Getting bare soil covered quickly keeps that sediment out of the reservoir.

Three directions of drainage

Huntersville's northwest border follows the shore of Lake Norman. East of NC 115, tributaries of Clarke Creek carry water to the Rocky River and on to the Pee Dee. So depending on where your lot is, your runoff ends up in Lake Norman, Mountain Island Lake or the Rocky River. We set silt fence and inlet protection with that in mind, especially on lots that slope toward a creek.

A town of new subdivisions

Housing units in Huntersville more than doubled in a decade, from 9,859 in 2010 to 23,962 in 2020. That kind of growth means a lot of builder lots finished with thin straw seeding that never really took. We hydroseed new construction lawns and also come back to lots where the first seeding failed, fixing grade and soil before we spray.

Final stabilization for builders

Builders need permanent cover before a site can be closed out. Hydroseeding with a heavy hydromulch, or bonded fiber matrix on steeper banks, gets that cover established quickly on common areas, pond banks and road shoulders. We can maintain silt fence until the grass is up.

Around the golf courses and parks

Birkdale, Skybrook and NorthStone bring a lot of manicured turf into town, and homeowners near them tend to expect the same density in their own yards. That starts with fine grading, good topsoil and the right seed for the sun on each lot.

Huntersville Questions

Why is keeping mud on Huntersville sites such a big deal?

A large part of town drains to Mountain Island Lake, which supplies drinking water for more than a million people. Covering bare soil fast keeps mud out of it.

The builder's straw seeding never came in. Can you fix it?

Yes. We usually loosen the surface, add topsoil where the clay is exposed, correct grade and then hydroseed.

Can you stabilize a subdivision pond bank?

Yes. Steep pond banks get bonded fiber matrix or blankets, depending on the slope and how often water reaches them.

Do you keep up silt fence after seeding?

We can inspect and repair it until the grass is established and the fence can come out.

Which way does my yard drain?

It depends on which side of NC 115 you are on and where the nearest creek runs. We check that on the site visit.
