One City, Two Counties, One Creek

Hydroseeding in Goodlettsville often starts with figuring out which county a property is in. The southern half of the city lies in Davidson County and the northern half in Sumner County. When Nashville and Davidson County merged in 1963, Goodlettsville chose to stay independent, so a job here can involve city rules plus the expectations of either county, depending on the address.

Mansker's Creek

The city's history starts at a salt lick beside a large creek now called Mansker's Creek, where longhunter Kasper Mansker built a fortified station in the winter of 1779 to 1780. The creek still runs through Goodlettsville. Lots that drain toward it, or toward any of its side branches, need silt fence during work and a fast, full cover of seed and mulch after grading.

Commercial ground

Goodlettsville is home to Dollar General's headquarters and the Rivergate Mall area. Commercial and retail pads, parking lot islands and drainage swales leave graded soil that has to be stabilized. Hydroseeding gives a uniform cover across large commercial areas, and bonded fiber matrix or blankets go in the swales and ditch lines where water concentrates.

Older homes and parks

The city was incorporated in 1958 with just over 3,000 people and has grown to around 17,800. Many neighborhoods date from those decades, so lawn renovation is common: tired turf, compacted ground and bare areas under big trees. Moss-Wright Park, home to the Bowen-Campbell House, is a reminder that the city has older open space where turf takes a beating.

Goodlettsville Questions

Which county's rules apply to my Goodlettsville project?

It depends on which side of the county line you are on, plus city rules. Check with the city before a large grading job; we will set up the erosion control your permit calls for.

Can you seed a commercial site near Rivergate?

Yes, including parking islands, slopes and drainage swales. During construction we can also put in silt fence and protect the storm inlets.

My older lawn is thin and full of weeds. Overseed or start over?

If weeds are more than about half the lawn, starting over usually gives a better result. Otherwise, aerate and overseed.

We are adding on near Mansker's Creek. What erosion control do we need?

At least a silt fence between the work and the creek, and quick cover on any bare soil once grading is done.
