Hydroseeding in Lake Wylie, SC

Hydroseeding in Lake Wylie follows a community that grew faster than its roads and water system could handle. The population climbed from 8,841 in 2010 to 13,655 in 2020, drawn by low tax rates and local schools. That growth caused regular traffic congestion and frequent boil-water advisories, and York County imposed a moratorium on new construction to plan development better. When building moves ahead, each new lot needs proper erosion control and a lawn that establishes on the first try.

A lake that has been here a century

The original Catawba Dam was built in 1904, raised in 1924, and the new station opened in 1925. The lake was named for Dr. W. Gil Wylie in 1960. The South Fork Catawba joins the main river near the state line, and that confluence now lies underwater. Lake Wylie, the community, sits on a peninsula along this shoreline, so most lots drain toward the water.

Weather that varies little by season

Lake Wylie has a humid subtropical climate with humid summers and cool, dry winters. Precipitation varies little by season, and summer thunderstorms sometimes bring hail. With no reliably dry season, we do not leave graded soil bare waiting for better weather; temporary cover or full hydroseeding goes on soon after grading.

The state line moved

A GPS resurvey shifted the North Carolina and South Carolina line about 150 feet south in the Lake Wylie area, moving several properties into North Carolina. For construction projects right on the line, that can change which state's erosion and sediment control rules apply. We confirm the jurisdiction before setting up a site.

What we do here

• New lawns on lake and inland lots
• Sediment fencing and drain inlet barriers for builders
• Slope stabilization toward the shoreline
