Seeding Warrington's Hills

Hydroseeding in Warrington Township often involves slopes. The township's named features include Griers Hill, Prospect Hill and Fretz Valley, and Little Neshaminy Creek, Mill Creek and Park Creek cut through it. At about 338 feet in elevation, the land rolls between those hills and creek valleys, and many yards have at least one bank that is hard to mow and quick to erode.

Slopes need more than seed

On a moderate bank, hydroseed with a tackified mulch usually holds well. Where the grade gets steeper, we move up to a bonded fiber matrix, or we pin down erosion control blankets and seed through them. We also look at where water comes onto the slope; a small swale or diversion at the top can save a lot of washouts.

Steady growth

Warrington grew 77.6 percent in the 1950s and 82.0 percent in the 1960s, then kept climbing from 7,550 people in 1970 to 25,639 in 2020. That means a wide mix of lawn ages, from 60-year-old yards to newer homes. Older lawns often need renovation; newer ones often suffer from thin builder topsoil.

Snow and rain

Warrington averages 30 to 36 inches of snow each season, more than towns closer to the city. Annual precipitation is about 47.22 inches, with July the wettest month. We aim for late-summer seeding so grass is well established before snow cover.

Native vegetation

The area's potential natural vegetation is Appalachian oak forest. Under mature oaks, we use shade-tolerant fescues and remind owners that deep shade limits any lawn.

Warrington Questions

My backyard bank keeps washing out. What do you recommend?

Usually a blanket or bonded fiber matrix with seed, plus a way to move water around the top of the slope.

Is it worth seeding under big oak trees?

Shade-tolerant fescues help, but very heavy shade will always limit grass.

When should I seed with Warrington's snowfall?

Late August to mid-September, so roots are strong before snow cover.

Do you install silt fence for pool projects?

Yes. Fence goes in along the downhill side of the work area, and we seed the disturbed ground once the pool is finished.
