Lawns Upstream of Drinking Water

Hydroseeding in Randleman comes with a responsibility most towns do not have. The Deep River flows past Randleman and forms Randleman Lake, which extends from just northwest of Randleman to east of High Point. The lake was created to meet the drinking water needs of the greater Greensboro area for the next 50 years, so soil washing off a bare lot here can end up in a reservoir people drink from.

How the lake came to be

The reservoir was first proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1937. After decades of studies and a smaller plan from the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority, the dam was built and the lake created in 2004. Greensboro began receiving treated water from it in October 2010, and the lake opened to public recreation that year.

Seeding with the lake in mind

On lots that drain toward the lake or the Deep River, we put silt fence in before grading, protect inlets, and get seed and mulch down the same week the final grade is set. Fertilizer in the hydroseed mix is kept to what new grass needs.

A mill town on the river

Randleman was first called Dicks, after a man who built a mill there around 1830, became Union Factory when a cotton mill went up, and took the Randleman name in 1866 after a mill owner. Lots near the river and old mill sites can hide fill, rock or old foundations, and we look for those before planning an even lawn.

Compact town, growing edges

The city covers about 3.6 square miles. Many Randleman jobs are on the outskirts: new homes on wooded or pasture lots that need clearing, grading, topsoil and a new lawn.

Randleman Questions

Are there extra rules for building near Randleman Lake?

Water supply areas can carry their own watershed requirements. We ask the owner or builder for the approved site plan and follow its erosion control measures.

How quickly should a lot near the lake be seeded after grading?

As soon as possible. We aim to have seed and mulch on finished grade within days, not weeks.

Do you use less fertilizer near the reservoir?

We use only what the new lawn needs to establish and keep the spray off pavement and out of ditches.

Can you seed a lot with old mill fill?

Usually, after we check what is in the top layer. Rubble or rocky fill needs topsoil over it before seed will take.
