Hydroseeding in Spring Hill, TN

New-build yards in Spring Hill

Most of our Spring Hill requests are from homeowners in newer subdivisions. The pattern is familiar: the lot was graded, the house built, a quick seed and straw went down before closing, and a year later the yard is thin, rutted and full of weeds. Soil here is mostly clay, and on many lots the topsoil was stripped during grading.

A good hydroseeding job here starts with prep:

• Loosen the compacted clay so roots can get in
• Fill ruts and fix drainage away from the foundation
• Add topsoil or compost where the yard is bare subsoil
• Get a soil test so lime and fertilizer match the ground

Then hydroseed with a fescue blend in fall, or Bermuda in late spring if the yard is in full sun.

Rolling lots and detention ponds

Spring Hill’s terrain rolls more than Rutherford County’s, so many lots have a sloped back yard or a drainage swale along the property line. Subdivisions have detention ponds with steep banks. These areas are where seed fails first, and where hydroseeding with a heavier mulch earns its cost. See erosion control hydroseeding.

HOAs and builders

Many Spring Hill neighborhoods have HOAs with lawn standards, and builders here work through lots on a steady schedule. HOAs, builders and site contractors can get crews who handle common areas, entrances, pond banks and lot-by-lot seeding. See builder and commercial hydroseeding.

Timing and cost

Tall fescue goes in September to mid-October, Bermuda mid-May to July. Spring Hill is a longer drive from Murfreesboro than the Rutherford County towns, so we try to send you with a crew that already works the Maury and Williamson county side. See hydroseeding cost.
