Valley Floors and Hillsides in Martinsville
Hydroseeding in Martinsville works in a different landscape than the northern suburbs. The city sits at about 604 feet in Morgan County, which is bisected by the White River valley. Unglaciated land and its watersheds give the county a topography unlike the rest of the Indianapolis metro, with terrain ranging from about 604 to 1,010 feet.
Hillside lots
The hills around town mean many lots have real slope. On moderate grades we use a bonded fiber matrix; on steep cuts and fill slopes, erosion control blankets pinned in place before seeding. Slope stabilization comes first, then the lawn.
Old swamps and springs
From 1888 to 1968, visitors came to Martinsville for artesian mineral water, and in 1899 Eugene Shireman turned swamp land into Grassyfork Fisheries, still visible in the Shireman subdivision. Wet ground with a high water table is part of the town's history, and yards in those low areas need careful grading and wet-tolerant seed.
I-69 frontage
In 2014 a judge upheld an annexation that grew the city by about a third and made I-69 a frontage road. Commercial work along the corridor brings road shoulders, basins and berms that need construction site hydroseeding and silt fence.
Diverse soils
Morgan County is said to have the most diverse soil of any county in the country, so we look at each site rather than assume.
Weather
Morgan County gets about 5 inches of rain in June and 4.8 in May. We aim for late summer seeding, which also avoids the hottest weeks of July.
