Seeding Slopes in the Uwharrie Hills
Hydroseeding in Asheboro means seeding hills. The city sits in the Piedmont, well east of the Appalachians, yet the town and surrounding area are noticeably hilly because Asheboro lies within the Uwharrie Mountains, a series of ancient ridges and monadnocks worn down by erosion into high hills. That relief makes for good views and hard going for bare soil.
Very old rock
The Uwharries are what remains of a volcanic island arc that formed around 550 million years ago, and they belong to the Carolina Slate Belt, dominated by felsic metavolcanic rock. Lots cut into this ground can turn up rock and thin soil on high spots. We bring in topsoil wherever a cut leaves too little for roots.
Slopes need more than seed
On a steep grade, seed sprayed with a light mulch can wash before it sprouts. In Asheboro we lean on heavier hydromulch, bonded fiber matrix and rolled blankets on cut and fill banks, and we seed big slopes in sections so they are never all bare at once.
The Deep River to the northeast
The Deep River passes northeast of Asheboro on its way to Franklinville and Ramseur. Runoff from construction that drains in that direction ends up in the river system, so silt fence goes in before grading on those lots.
Highways and growth
I-73 and I-74 connect Asheboro to Greensboro, and US 64 bypasses most of the city to the south. Commercial sites near those roads need fast stabilization, and homeowners building on the hills around town need driveways and yards that do not wash out.

Asheboro Questions
Will hydroseed stay on a steep Asheboro hillside?
With the right mulch it usually does. On the steepest banks we add bonded fiber matrix or a blanket to keep seed in place through heavy rain.
My lot is rocky. Can grass still grow?
Yes, once there is enough soil over the rock. We add topsoil on thin spots so roots have room.
Do you seed driveway cut banks?
Yes. Cut banks are a common washout spot, and they usually need a blanket or heavy mulch rather than seed alone.
Do you seed large slopes in stages?
On big or very steep slopes we often do, so the whole hill is never bare at the same time.
