A Small Town With a Very Large Build-Out
Hydroseeding in Pittsboro is tied closely to Chatham Park. Announced in 2013, it covers about 7,100 acres and is planned for roughly 22,000 homes and 22 million square feet of office and retail. Work began after a legal challenge was settled in 2016. A build-out that size means years of clearing, grading and seeding, phase after phase, which is exactly the kind of work commercial hydroseeding and sediment control exist for.
The Haw River and Jordan Lake
Pittsboro draws its water from the Haw River, which passes just north of town before entering Jordan Lake about 8 miles east. The Haw's own record notes that suburban nutrient runoff and sediment add to algal blooms in Jordan Lake. Every graded acre around Pittsboro drains toward that system, so silt fence, inlet protection, temporary seeding on idle areas and fast permanent cover are not extras here.
Jordan Lake rules
Jordan Lake was designated nutrient-sensitive in 1983, and its rules call for cutting pollution from stormwater runoff and fertilizer use. For lawn seeding that means a measured starter fertilizer rate and keeping slurry off pavement and out of drains.
A town in the middle of the state
Pittsboro sits near the geographic center of North Carolina, about 34 miles from Raleigh and 17 from Chapel Hill, and has become a bedroom community for the Triangle. The 2020 census counted 4,537 people, but the planned build-out will change that quickly.
Beyond the big sites
Not every Pittsboro job is a subdivision. Older homes near the historic courthouse square often need lawn renovation, and rural lots outside town often want pasture or meadow seeding along with a lawn near the house.

Pittsboro Questions
