Lawns Between the Haw and Alamance Creek
Hydroseeding in Graham happens between two waterways. The Haw River runs along the east edge of the city, and Graham extends south as far as Alamance Creek. Downstream, Great Alamance Creek joins the Haw at Swepsonville. Many lots on the east and south sides of Graham drain toward one or the other, so erosion control is part of nearly every job we quote here.
An old county seat
Graham was laid out in 1849 as the seat of the newly formed Alamance County and incorporated as a town in 1851. The older streets around the courthouse have mature yards, where our work is mostly lawn renovation and overseeding. Newer home sites get the full treatment: grading, topsoil, seed and mulch.
Rules downstream
The Haw River flows on to Jordan Lake, and suburban sediment and nutrient runoff in the Haw have contributed to recurring algal blooms there. The state's revised Jordan Lake Rules deal with that pollution. In practice, for us, it means silt fence on graded sites, inlet protection on streets, and fertilizer in the hydroseed mix kept to what new grass needs.
Slopes toward the river
Where a lot near the Haw drops toward the river, the steepest stretch gets a rolled blanket or a bonded fiber matrix spray, and we avoid stripping more ground than can be seeded the same week.
A river people use
The Haw River Trail, formally started in 2006, is planned as a land and paddle trail connecting Haw River State Park and Jordan Lake, and it is part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. A cleaner river is part of what makes that trail worth paddling.

Graham Questions
Do you seed lots that slope toward the Haw River?
Yes. We grade gently where possible and use blankets or bonded fiber matrix on the steeper parts so soil stays out of the river.
Why does the fertilizer rate in a hydroseed mix matter?
Extra fertilizer that washes off ends up in streams and lakes. We use what the seed needs to establish, not more.
Can you renovate an old lawn near downtown Graham?
Yes. Older yards often need dethatching, soil loosening and overseeding, or a full strip and reseed if they are mostly weeds.
Do you remove silt fence when the job is done?
Yes. Once the grass has rooted and the ground is stable, we pull the fence so it does not linger as an eyesore.
