Large Lots, River Weather

Hydroseeding in Lower Makefield fits the township's large residential lots well. Lower Makefield grew rapidly in the 1990s, and the neighborhoods from that boom include plenty of big yards. Seeding a large lot with sod is expensive; hydroseed covers the same area for a fraction of the cost and gives an even stand.

River and creek edges

The township borders the Delaware River and New Jersey to the north and east and wraps around Yardley Borough on three sides. Brock Creek, Core Creek, Common Creek and Jericho Creek drain the land toward the river. Lawns that run down to one of these creeks need erosion control along the bank. We use straw or coconut erosion control blankets on steeper bank sections and a seed mix that handles wet feet.

Big storms happen here

The wettest day on record in the township brought 6.03 inches of rain on August 27, 2011. A storm like that can wipe out a fresh seeding on a slope. On new lawns that drain toward a creek, we add tackifier to the hydromulch and recommend a bonded fiber matrix on anything steep.

Weather swings

Records here range from 103.5 F in July 2011 to minus 10.3 F in January 1984, and the township averages 24 to 30 inches of snow. Cool-season turf like tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass is the right choice, seeded in late summer for the best start.

Lower Makefield Questions

Hydroseed or sod for a half-acre lot?

On a lot that size, hydroseed costs much less and grows into a strong lawn in one season if seeded at the right time.

Can you stabilize the bank where my yard meets a creek?

Yes. We grade the bank if needed, lay erosion control blankets and seed through them.

My 1990s lawn has thinned out. Do I need a full redo?

Not always. If the grade is good, aeration and overseeding may be enough. We will tell you which makes sense.

Do you work on corporate grounds along Stony Hill Road?

Yes. We seed and stabilize commercial lawns, basins and swales.
