Campus Lawns and Creek Headwaters

Hydroseeding in Whitpain Township, home to most of Blue Bell, covers both large private lawns and corporate grounds. The township sits in two watersheds: Wissahickon Creek, once known as Whitpaine's Creek, and Stony Creek. The Wissahickon runs about 23 miles from Montgomery County to the Schuylkill in Philadelphia, so what washes off a site here can travel all the way into the city's park system.

Under the soil

Wissahickon schist is the main bedrock under the Philadelphia region,. Where soil over rock is thin, on knolls and steeper slopes, a lawn dries out fast. On thin spots we bring in topsoil before seeding, and on steeper banks we switch from standard hydromulch to a bonded fiber matrix that holds better in hard rain.

Corporate campuses

Whitpain hosts large corporate campuses, including the Unisys headquarters in Blue Bell. Big lawns, basin slopes and building edges on campuses like these benefit from hydroseeding, which can cover acres quickly and costs less than sod. When a campus changes hands or is redeveloped, erosion control and silt fence are required during the work, and seeding follows as each section is finished.

Road work along US 202

US Route 202 is being widened to a four-lane divided highway through the township. Road projects like this leave cut slopes and disturbed shoulders that need erosion control blankets and seed. Homeowners near the corridor may also need lawn repair where grading reached their property.

Old farms, newer homes

Richard Whitpaine's original tract was 4,500 acres, and the area stayed mostly farmland for decades. Many newer homes sit on former fields, where the soil is workable but often compacted from construction. Aerating or tilling before seeding makes a big difference.

Whitpain Township Questions

Do you work on corporate campuses in Blue Bell?

Yes. We seed and stabilize large lawns, basins and slopes for commercial properties.

My lawn is near the Wissahickon. Do I need special care?

On bare soil near the creek, a silt fence at the low edge and a heavier mulch keep soil out of the water.

Can you repair lawn damage from the Route 202 work?

Yes. We regrade, add topsoil where needed and hydroseed disturbed areas.

What is a bonded fiber matrix?

It is a heavier hydraulic mulch that forms a mat on slopes and holds seed and soil better than standard mulch.
