Lawn Seeding in Gwinnett's Oldest City Center

Hydroseeding in Lawrenceville usually involves ground with a long history. Lawrenceville was incorporated in 1821, making it the second oldest city in metro Atlanta, and most of its early residents farmed cotton. Generations of cotton on Piedmont clay left a lot of thin, tired soil behind.

What cotton did to the soil

Piedmont soils are clay-like, and across the South they suffered from erosion and over-cropping where cotton was the main crop. Cecil-type soils in particular lose their sandy loam topsoil easily and then show red clay. On many Lawrenceville lots, that red clay is what is left at the surface.

Rebuilding the top layer

When we seed a Lawrenceville yard, we look at the soil first. Where clay is at the surface, we add topsoil and work it in so roots have somewhere to go. Then we hydroseed with starter fertilizer and mulch. Skipping that step is the most common reason new grass thins out a year later.

Old neighborhoods and infill

Around the historic square there are older homes and newer infill. Older lawns usually respond to lawn renovation: aeration, topdressing and overseeding. Infill lots usually need grading to fix drainage, plus silt fence during construction.

Parks and open space

Rhodes Jordan Park covers 162 acres with a fishing lake and sports fields, and Freeman's Grist Mill is a county park in town. Large open areas and park edges are well suited to hydroseeding, which covers ground faster and cheaper than sod.

Lawrenceville Questions

My grass keeps thinning out after a year. Why?

Often because it was seeded on bare clay. Adding topsoil and loosening the ground first gives roots room to grow.

Can you renovate an old lawn near the square?

Yes. Aeration, topdressing and overseeding work well on established yards with decent grade.

Do infill lots in Lawrenceville need silt fence?

Usually, while soil is bare, especially on lots that drain to the street or a storm drain.

How much topsoil do I need?

That comes down to the soil you have now. We check during the estimate and only add what the lawn needs.

Can you seed a park-sized area?

Yes. The bigger and more open the ground, the more hydroseed saves over sod.
