Seeding Along the Neshaminy

Hydroseeding in Northampton Township, which includes Richboro and Holland, is shaped by water. Neshaminy Creek forms the township's entire northeastern boundary, and Broad Axe Creek, Iron Works Creek, Little Neshaminy Creek, Pine Run, Slack Creek and Dot Creek all run through it. Churchville Reservoir sits next to the Churchville Nature Center. With that many streams, sediment control is part of almost every job.

A creek that floods

Neshaminy Creek has risen more than 10 feet above normal in severe storms, and Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee pushed it to levels not seen in 100 years. Yards near the creek or its tributaries need seed that will hold through high water. We use blankets on low banks and avoid seeding flood-prone ground right before the wettest months.

Housing booms

The township grew from 6,006 people in 1960 to 35,406 in 1990. Lawns from the 1970s and 80s are now 35 to 50 years old. Renovation, with weed removal, topsoil, grading and hydroseeding, is often the best way to get a thick lawn back.

Weather

Average precipitation is about 48.61 inches a year, with July the wettest month, and snowfall averages 24 to 30 inches. Summer heat index values can reach 100 F, so a spring or summer seeding needs a watering plan. Late summer is best.

Parks and open land

Tyler State Park covers 1,711 acres, and the 55-acre Churchville Nature Center has two miles of trails. Homes near these parks often border woods and slopes that need erosion control after any work.

Northampton Township Questions

My yard backs up to a creek that floods. Can it be seeded?

Yes, with blankets on the lower bank and timing that avoids the wettest weeks.

Is a 1980s lawn worth renovating?

Usually. A renovation with hydroseed costs far less than sod and gives a fresh, even lawn.

Do you put up silt fence for small projects?

Yes. Even a pool or addition near a creek benefits from a short silt fence run.

Can you fix a low spot that holds water?

Yes. We regrade or add topsoil so water drains away, then seed.
