Seeding Subdivisions and Corporate Grounds

Hydroseeding in Harrison covers both homes and large corporate grounds. In 1929 developer Sidney Sonn bought the town's Sunnyridge Farm, less than half a mile from the train station, and laid out new streets with water, sewers and tree-lined drives. A New York Times article described how the developers landscaped the entire 165 acres. That farm-to-lawn conversion was repeated across town over the following decades.

Old farm soil

Yards built on old farmland usually started with decent soil, but decades of construction, additions and compaction wear it down. Lawn renovation here typically means aerating or tilling, adding topsoil and hydroseeding on a fresh bed. When an old house is torn down for new construction, as happened at Sunny Ridge in 2017, the whole lot needs grading and a new lawn installation.

Corporate campuses

Harrison's Platinum Mile, the string of office parks along I-287 in the Purchase section, attracted companies like PepsiCo and MasterCard. Big grounds like those need commercial hydroseeding, swales lined with hydromulch or BFM, and silt fence and inlet protection whenever the ground is opened.

Ponds and the reservoir

Rye Pond and Little Rye Pond in Harrison became part of the Kensico Reservoir, and a Harrison quarry beside Cranberry Lake supplied stone for the Kensico Dam. Jobs in the northern part of town can drain toward that water supply, which makes good sediment control more than a formality.

Harrison Questions

We are tearing down and rebuilding. When should the lawn go in?

After the heavy equipment is gone and final grading is done. We can stabilize bare areas with hydromulch earlier if the site will sit.

Do you hydroseed corporate and campus grounds?

Yes. Hydroseeding is well suited to large open areas, berms and swales.

Is my area in the reservoir watershed?

Parts of northern Harrison drain toward Kensico. If yours does, expect closer attention to sediment control.

Can you renovate a lawn in Purchase without disturbing landscaping?

Yes. We work around beds and trees and only rework turf areas.

How long does a new lawn take to fill in?

Usually it is green in two to three weeks and mowable in about a month.
