Seeding on Buford's High Ground

Hydroseeding in Buford starts at a higher elevation than most of the metro. The city sits at about 1,183 feet, and its limits are only 4.5 miles from the Eastern Continental Divide, which Ridge Road follows. Ridge-top lots shed water quickly in every direction, and the slopes below them carry it fast.

Water supply next door

Buford's main water supply is Lake Lanier, the reservoir behind Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee. Buford Dam Park sits right beside the lake. Because so much of the area drains toward Lanier, silt fence and fast cover on construction sites protect the city's own drinking water.

Leather town to retail hub

Buford grew around the railroad and the Bona Allen leather company, whose tannery closed after a 1981 fire. The area now includes the Mall of Georgia. Commercial pads, parking lot islands and retention ponds around that kind of development need commercial hydroseeding and erosion control to close out permits.

Seeding on ridge-and-slope lots

On high lots the soil dries fast in summer and runs off in storms. We use extra hydromulch to hold moisture, tackifier on slopes, and blankets on banks steeper than mulch can hold. Grading that spreads water out instead of funneling it is the cheapest erosion control there is.

Two counties

Most of Buford is in Gwinnett County, with a northern sliver in Hall County. We work on both sides of the line.

Buford Questions

My ridge-top yard dries out fast. Will hydroseed survive?

Yes, with a heavier mulch layer to hold moisture and steady watering in the first weeks. Timing the seeding for fall or spring helps too.

Can you close out a commercial site near the Mall of Georgia?

Yes. We hydroseed pads, islands, swales and pond banks and can handle silt fence and inlet protection.

Do you work in the Hall County part of Buford?

Yes, on both the Gwinnett and Hall County sides.

Why does keeping soil out of runoff matter so much in Buford?

Much of the area drains to Lake Lanier, which is Buford's water supply.

What holds a retention pond bank?

Bonded fiber matrix or blankets with seed, depending on the slope and how often the water level changes.
