Seeding From the Valley to the Mountains

Hydroseeding in Ramapo covers some of the steepest ground near the city. The Ramapo River breaks through the Ramapo Mountains at Suffern, and the town rises toward peaks like Torne Mountain at about 1,130 feet in Harriman State Park and Squirrel Swamp Mountain, the town's high point at 1,252 feet. Many lots on the western and northern sides sit on real hillsides.

Mountain slopes

At these grades, seed and mulch alone are rarely enough. Our usual approach is a bonded fiber matrix on most slopes and erosion control blankets on the steepest cuts, with silt fence at the base. Where a driveway or house pad has been cut into the hill, we stabilize the cut bank as soon as it is graded, before a storm can rill it.

A growing town

With 148,919 residents in 2020, Ramapo is the most populous town in New York outside Long Island. Growth means steady construction, and construction means disturbed soil. Builders here need silt fence, inlet protection and final seeding on every job.

A history of planning for growth

Ramapo was one of the first places to tie growth to infrastructure. The 1971 case Golden v. Planning Board of Ramapo became the basis for growth management practices around the country. Today, site plans in the town often include sediment and erosion control details, and we install to those plans.

Ramapo Questions

My new house is cut into a hillside. How do you stabilize the bank?

We cover the cut with a bonded fiber matrix or a staked blanket as soon as it is graded, and put silt fence below it.

Do builders in Ramapo need sediment control?

Most disturbed sites do, and site plans usually show it. We install silt fence and inlet protection to the plan.

Can you seed near Suffern and Hillburn?

Yes, throughout the town.

Rocky soil is everywhere on my lot. What can you do?

We clear surface stone and add topsoil so the new lawn has enough depth.

Which is better on a steep slope, blanket or BFM?

A blanket for the steepest or most exposed slopes, BFM where a blanket is hard to install or the slope is moderate.
