Seeding Between the River and the Creeks

Hydroseeding in Bensalem means dealing with water on almost every side. Neshaminy Creek forms the eastern boundary, Poquessing Creek forms the western boundary, and the Delaware River runs along the southeast. About 4.77 percent of the township's 21 square miles is water. Lawns near any of these edges see wetter soil, higher groundwater and more flood risk than lots inland.

Two kinds of ground in one township

The Fall Line, which separates the Atlantic Coastal Plain from the Piedmont, crosses the township near the Neshaminy Mall area. South and east of that line the ground is lower and flatter, with sandier soil that drains quickly once it is above the water table. North and west, toward the Piedmont, soil gets heavier and grade changes are more common. We adjust seed mix, mulch rate and watering advice to which side of that line your property is on.

Heavy rain and creek flooding

Bensalem averages about 50.70 inches of precipitation a year at the Neshaminy Falls station, among the higher totals in the area. The wettest day since 1981 came on August 27, 2011, when 6.70 inches fell. On flat yards that means ponding, so we often fine grade to create a gentle fall away from the house before seeding.

Commercial and roadside work

With Keystone Racetrack, Neshaminy Mall and a large road network of more than 195 miles, Bensalem has a lot of commercial ground. Hydroseeding and erosion control blankets are a fast way to stabilize roadside swales, retention ponds and pad sites after construction.

Bensalem Questions

My yard is near Neshaminy Creek and floods sometimes. Can I still seed?

Yes, but we time it away from flood-prone months and use a heavy mulch so seed is less likely to float off in high water.

Does it matter which side of the Fall Line I live on?

It can. Sandier coastal plain soil dries faster and needs more watering after seeding; heavier Piedmont soil holds water and may need grading.

Do you seed retention ponds and commercial swales?

Yes. We use erosion control blankets in the flow lines and hydroseed with mulch on the side slopes.

Can you protect storm drains while you work?

Yes. We install inlet protection and silt fence before any grading begins.
