Lawns and Slopes Beneath Kennesaw Mountain

Hydroseeding in Kennesaw takes place in the shadow of the tallest point in metro Atlanta. Kennesaw Mountain's summit reaches 1,808 feet, and the city was renamed for it in 1887. Ground near the mountain and the battlefield park rises fast, so a lot of yards here have a real grade to them.

A town named for a grade

Before it was Kennesaw, the town was Big Shanty, named for the steep railroad grade up from the Etowah River to the workers' shanties. That slope is still a fact of life. Builders cut pads into it and leave banks behind houses, and those banks need cover before summer storms find them.

How we handle sloped yards

On gentle slopes we hydroseed with extra mulch and tackifier. On steeper banks we use bonded fiber matrix or pin straw blankets over seed. Where water runs down a slope in one place, we shape a swale and line it so it does not become a gully.

Growth on all sides

Kennesaw has grown quickly, with a population growth rate far above the state average, and Kennesaw State University is here too. New subdivisions and commercial projects mean steady work for silt fence installation, inlet protection and commercial hydroseeding to close sites out.

Battlefield land is protected

Much of the surrounding land has been developed, but Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park southeast of town is protected. Lots that back onto park land or wooded buffers need careful sediment control, because runoff from bare soil goes straight into the woods.

Kennesaw Questions

My backyard is a steep bank. Will grass ever hold?

With the right cover, yes. We use blankets or bonded fiber matrix on steep banks so seed stays put while roots grow.

Water runs down one side of my yard and cuts a ditch. Can you fix it?

Yes. We regrade it into a shallow swale, then seed and line it so the flow is spread out and slowed.

Do you close out builder sites in Kennesaw?

Yes. We do commercial and builder hydroseeding and can remove silt fence once the site is stable.

My lot backs up to the battlefield park. Anything special?

Keep sediment on your side. Silt fence along the back line during work, and fast seeding afterward.

What grass works best on a sunny Kennesaw slope?

Bermuda establishes quickly in sun and tolerates heat. For mixed shade, a tall fescue blend is safer.
