Hydroseeding in Pickerington, OH

Hydroseeding in Pickerington is often about lawns that get used hard. Census data shows a high share of households with children, and the city has grown steadily through annexation and new development since it was certified as a city in 1991. That adds up to many yards that see soccer games, swing sets and dogs, and need tough, well-rooted turf.

Seed for wear

For play yards we lean on turf-type tall fescue blends with some Kentucky bluegrass, which spreads and repairs itself. Hydroseeding lets us apply seed and mulch evenly across the whole yard, with no seams to tear up like with sod.

Flat lots, slow drainage

Pickerington's 10.19 square miles are all land, with no lakes or rivers inside city limits by Census figures. Lots on flat ground can still hold water if the builder left low spots. We check slope away from the house and fix grade with topsoil before seeding, because standing water kills new grass fast.

Park-quality expectations

The city's parks department manages over 158 acres of parkland with fishing ponds, athletic fields, an arboretum and sledding hills. Pond edges and sledding slopes are good examples of where hydroseed with a heavier mulch layer or a blanket works better than plain seed, and the same goes for retention pond banks in subdivisions.

New subdivisions

New phases around town need builder seeding, silt fence along lot lines and inlet protection while houses go up. We handle those as one package.
