Seed Choice on Both Sides of the Ridge

Hydroseeding in Montgomery Township has a detail most towns do not: the township spans two plant hardiness zones. The line between zone 6b and zone 7a runs along a ridge at roughly Stump Road. A degree or two of winter cold matters for new grass, and we pick seed blends and timing with that in mind.

Drainage to the Little Neshaminy

The township lies in the Delaware watershed and is drained mainly by the Little Neshaminy Creek. At about 433 feet in elevation, much of the land slopes gently toward that creek and its branches. On sloped lots, especially near the creek, we use a heavier hydromulch rate and set a silt fence along the bottom of the work area.

Fast growth in the 1990s

The population went from 12,179 in 1990 to 22,025 in 2000, nearly doubling in ten years. Most of the township is now suburban developments, tract houses and shopping centers. Lawns from that era are 25 to 30 years old and many are ready for renovation.

Winter in Montgomeryville

Average temperatures in Montgomeryville run from 29.9 F in January to 74.3 F in July, cooler than closer-in suburbs. North of the ridge, we push fall seeding earlier and lean on cold-hardy Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue blends.

Commercial properties

Montgomery Mall, strip centers along PA 309 and the US 202 parkway corridor all have lawns, basins and roadside slopes. Hydroseeding with erosion control mulch stabilizes those areas quickly after construction or repairs.

Montgomery Township Questions

Does the hardiness zone change what you seed?

It can. North of the ridge we favor colder-hardy blends and seed a bit earlier in the fall.

My lawn is from the late 1990s. Is it time to renovate?

If it is thin, weedy or bumpy, a renovation with hydroseed is often the best value.

Do you seed slopes near Little Neshaminy Creek?

Yes, with heavier mulch, silt fence at the base and blankets in steep spots.

Can you seed roadside or shopping center slopes?

Yes. We handle commercial slopes and basins as well as residential lawns.
