Seeding Around Construction and History

Hydroseeding in Upper Merion Township, home of King of Prussia, is driven by steady construction. The King of Prussia mall is the third-largest mall in the country by leasable area, and the office park nearby hosts firms such as Lockheed Martin and GlaxoSmithKline. Each new building, parking lot expansion or apartment project leaves bare soil that needs to be stabilized and seeded.

Fast growth

Upper Merion grew from 26,863 residents in 2000 to 33,613 in 2020, an increase of about 25 percent. For builders, growth like that means silt fence, inlet protection and final seeding on every phase. For new homeowners, it means yards seeded over compacted construction soil that may need help in the first few years.

River on two sides

The Schuylkill River drains the township and forms its northern and eastern boundary. Lots that slope toward the river or its small tributaries need sediment controls during any earth moving. We set silt fence and filter socks first and keep them up until the grass is established.

Next to Valley Forge

The westernmost part of the township holds most of the 1,300-acre Valley Forge National Historical Park. Properties near the park often have rolling meadows and mixed turf. Where owners want a less formal look, a native or low-mow seed mix can work on banks and edges that are hard to mow.

Weather extremes

King of Prussia's climate record runs from minus 12 F to 108 F. July highs average about 87 F, so summer seeding needs daily watering. Late August into September gives a new lawn its strongest start.

Upper Merion Questions

Do you work for commercial builders in King of Prussia?

Yes. Silt fence and inlet protection go in on day one, and we seed and stabilize each area as it is finished.

My new townhome lawn is thin. Why?

Construction often leaves compacted soil with little topsoil. Aerating, topdressing and overseeding usually helps.

Can you seed a low-mow or meadow mix near Valley Forge?

Yes, for banks and edges where a formal lawn is not needed.

Is summer seeding possible here?

It is possible with daily watering, but late summer into early fall gives far better results.
