Mooresville's Low Ground and Varied Soils
Hydroseeding in Mooresville works with some of the most varied ground in the metro. The town center sits between White Lick Creek to the west and its East Fork to the east, at about 659 feet, lower than most of the Indianapolis area. It is in Morgan County, where the glaciers stopped their southward advance and the land shifts from flat to rolling.
Soil changes from yard to yard
Wikipedia says Morgan County has the most diverse soil of any county in the United States. In practice, that means one lot can be silty and well drained while the next is heavy and wet. We look at each site rather than assuming, and adjust the seed mix and how much topsoil to add.
Two creeks, many drainages
Wooded drainages have carved the county as they flow toward the White River. Lots near White Lick Creek or its East Fork, or on the side of a drainage, often slope enough to need erosion control. We use bonded fiber matrix on moderate grades and erosion control blankets on steep banks and channels.
Floodplain soils
Creek bottoms in central Indiana often carry Genesee soils: well drained, silty and subject to periodic flooding. Grass grows well on them between floods, but bare soil there washes out first, so a blanket is cheap insurance on low ground.
Established town
Mooresville has grown little since 2000, so most work here is lawn repair, overseeding and renovation, plus new homes on the edges. We also seed after utility, septic and drainage work.
Timing
Morgan County gets close to 5 inches of rain in both May and June. We aim for late-summer seeding so young grass is not facing those months.

Mooresville Questions
Why does my Mooresville soil look different from my neighbor's?
Morgan County soils vary a lot over short distances. We check each lot before choosing seed and topsoil.
Do you seed creek bottom lots near White Lick Creek?
Yes. Floodplain ground grows grass well, but we add blankets on low edges since floods can wash bare soil.
Can you seed after septic or drainage work?
Yes. We regrade the disturbed area and hydroseed it so the new grass matches the surrounding lawn.
Is overseeding enough for my older lawn?
If there is still a reasonable base of grass, usually yes. We will tell you if a renovation makes more sense.
