Lawns on Rolling Ground

Hydroseeding in Newtown Square, the heart of Newtown Township in Delaware County, means working with rolling terrain. The rolling hills here drew country estate builders and hunt clubs in the late 1800s, including the Rose Tree Hunt Club (1859) and the Radnor Hunt Club (1886). Those same hills make for beautiful lawns and plenty of slopes that need careful seeding.

Between two creeks

Crum Creek forms the western border of the township, and Darby Creek runs through the northeast corner. Springton Lake reservoir borders the township to the south. Because a reservoir sits downstream, keeping sediment out of Crum Creek matters. On any project with bare soil, we set silt fence and filter socks before grading.

Estate lawns and large lots

Some farms and large estates remain, and many homes sit on large lots. Big open lawns are a good fit for hydroseeding, which covers large areas evenly for much less than sod. On slopes we add tackifier, and the steep banks get erosion control blankets or bonded fiber matrix.

Strong growth

The township grew 22.8 percent between 2010 and 2020, reaching 15,002 people. New subdivisions and redevelopment bring new lawns and the need for sediment control during construction.

Climate

Average precipitation is about 46.52 inches a year, and the area is in hardiness zone 7a. July highs average about 85.3 F. Late summer and early fall are the best times to seed.
