Farm Country Turning Into Yards

Hydroseeding in Springfield usually means working on land that was farmed for generations. Springfield is the seat of Robertson County, which was laid out in the 1790s and turned to tobacco farming by the 1820s. As late as 1910, most residents still worked on farms. Land that grew tobacco for that long can have good topsoil in places and worn-out or eroded ground in others.

Soil before seed

When a former field becomes a yard, we look at what is left on top. If the topsoil was stripped during grading, seed will struggle in the clay below. If it was stockpiled, spreading it back before seeding is the cheapest way to a good lawn. Ruts and humps from old farm use or construction traffic get smoothed out with fine grading first.

Rock and cut lots

Part of an old US 41 route north of downtown was removed to make way for a quarry. Rock is part of the local landscape, and on lots that were cut down to grade we always check how much soil is left over rock before seeding.

Small streams

Springfield is almost entirely land, with only about 0.01 square miles of water. Runoff goes to small creeks such as Carr Creek, where an old US 431 bridge once crossed. Building sites that drain to creeks like this need silt fence and fast cover, and road ditches benefit from erosion control blankets.

Springfield Questions

We bought land that was farmed. Can it become a lawn?

Yes. Usually it needs weed control, fine grading and a check of the topsoil before seeding.

What seed mix do you use in Springfield?

Most lawns here are tall fescue blends. For pasture-like areas or banks we can use a lower-maintenance mix.

We hit rock when grading. Can grass grow over it?

Only if there is enough soil on top. We usually recommend at least a few inches of topsoil over shallow rock.

Do you protect road ditches on new driveways?

Yes, with erosion control blankets or a heavy hydromulch, depending on how much water the ditch carries.
