Bringing Back Levitt-Era Yards

Hydroseeding in Levittown usually starts with a yard that has been mowed since the Eisenhower years. Levitt & Sons began building in February 1952 and finished 17,311 homes by 1958, at times completing a house about every sixteen minutes. Builders working at that pace graded fast and moved on, and many lots still carry the shallow soil and settled spots left from construction.

Flat and low ground

The community sits about 30 to 40 feet above sea level in Lower Bucks County, between Philadelphia and Trenton. On ground that flat, water has nowhere to go after a heavy rain. Average annual precipitation is about 50.5 inches, so low corners and areas near patios often stay soggy. Before seeding we look for spots where the yard pitches back toward the house and fix them with topsoil and fine grading.

Six house models, similar problems

Levittowners, Ranchers, Jubilees, Pennsylvanians, Colonials and Country Clubbers all went in on similar lots. Over seven decades, owners have added garages, extensions, sheds and pools, and each project left disturbed soil. A full renovation that strips weeds, loosens the top layer and hydroseeds a fresh blend is often cheaper than sodding the whole lot.

Greenbelts and shared ground

Levitt & Sons built parks, greenbelts, pools and ball fields into the plan. Several pools closed after 2002, and where old pool sites, school fields or greenbelt edges are being reworked, hydroseeding is a low-cost way to turn bare ground into turf.

Near the lake and creeks

Levittown Lake borders the Lakeside section, and Mill Creek runs nearby. Yards that drain toward water need silt fence or a filter sock along the low edge during a renovation so fresh soil does not wash in.

Levittown Questions

Why does my Levittown yard hold water?

The ground is low and flat, and many lots settled unevenly after 1950s construction. Regrading a small slope away from the house usually fixes it.

Is it worth stripping and reseeding the whole yard?

When weeds or bare soil cover more than half the yard, renovating with hydroseed costs far less than sod and leaves a fresh, even stand.

Can you seed where an old above-ground pool was?

Yes. We level the old pool footprint, add topsoil where it is thin and hydroseed it to match the surrounding grass.

My yard slopes toward Levittown Lake. Do I need erosion control?

During a renovation, a silt fence or filter sock at the low edge keeps loose soil out of the water until grass covers it.
