Farm town turned suburb

Hydroseeding in Warminster, PA

Seeding at the Top of Two Watersheds

Hydroseeding in Warminster starts with knowing where the water goes. The township drains to two tributaries of the Delaware River: Neshaminy Creek and Pennypack Creek. Much of the land sits near the upper reaches of those streams, so soil that washes off a graded lot here travels a long way downstream.

From farms to subdivisions

Warminster spent most of its history as farmland. In 1955 it had no residential subdivisions and only one housing complex, Lacey Park. Most of the neighborhoods you see today were built after that, so the typical lawn here sits on former crop ground that was graded for houses in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. That farm soil is often decent underneath, but decades of compaction from mowing and play make it hard for roots to spread.

Sediment control on small jobs

Even a backyard regrade or a new patio can leave a stretch of bare soil sloping toward the street. We set silt fence or a compost sock at the downhill edge and protect nearby storm inlets before grading starts, then hydroseed with mulch as soon as the final grade is set. The less time soil sits bare, the less ends up in the creeks.

Weather

The township averages 24 to 30 inches of snow a season, with February the snowiest month. July is the wettest month and the peak for thunderstorms, and the average July high is about 85.6 F. We avoid seeding into the hottest weeks unless the owner can water every day.

Parks and larger grounds

Warminster's 13 parks cover 420 acres, led by the 243-acre Warminster Community Park. Sports fields, trail edges and large open lawns are a good fit for hydroseeding, which can cover thousands of square feet in one visit.

Warminster Questions

Is my lawn built on old farm soil?

Most Warminster neighborhoods were farmland before the 1950s, so there is usually workable soil under the compacted surface layer.

Do I need erosion control for a backyard patio project?

If bare soil will slope toward the street or a neighbor, a short silt fence or filter sock is cheap insurance until the lawn is reseeded.

Can you seed a sports field or large open lawn?

Yes. Hydroseed is efficient on big open areas and we can match a seed mix to heavy use.

My backyard stays soggy. Will new seed fix it?

Not by itself. We regrade or add topsoil so water moves off first, then seed.
