Seeding Near the City's Drinking Water

Hydroseeding in Mount Pleasant carries extra weight because of what is next door. The town is bounded on the east by the Kensico Reservoir, the final reservoir in New York City's Catskill and Delaware water system, which holds about 30 billion gallons behind the 307-foot Kensico Dam. On the west, the town runs to the Hudson River. Valhalla, Hawthorne, Thornwood, Pleasantville and Sleepy Hollow all sit between those two waters.

Sediment and a drinking water reservoir

Soil washing off a construction site carries silt and nutrients, and near a water supply that matters more than usual. On jobs that drain toward the reservoir or its streams, we set silt fence and inlet protection before digging and get the bare soil covered quickly with hydromulch. Local rules for work in the watershed can be stricter, and we follow the approved plan.

New building in Valhalla

In 2017, county officials unveiled plans for a 3-million-square-foot biotechnology hub on vacant land next to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. Large commercial sites like that need sediment control, phased stabilization and final seeding of every disturbed area.

Estate land and older yards

The Rockefeller estate Kykuit in Pocantico Hills is a reminder of how much of the town was once large country property. Older homes on former estate land often have big lawns that need renovation, along with sloped areas that call for erosion control rather than plain seed.

Mount Pleasant Questions

Are there stricter rules near the Kensico Reservoir?

Work in the reservoir's drainage area can face extra review. We build sediment control to the approved plan and keep bare soil covered.

Can you seed a large commercial site in phases?

Yes. We stabilize areas as grading finishes rather than leaving the whole site bare until the end.

My yard is on old estate land with a big slope. What do you suggest?

A bonded fiber matrix or a blanket on the slope and a standard hydroseed on the flat lawn.

Do you work in Sleepy Hollow and Pleasantville?

Yes, as well as Valhalla, Hawthorne and Thornwood.

What seed do you use near the reservoir?

We choose a mix that fits the site and avoid over-applying fertilizer near water.
