Hydroseeding in Scarsdale, NY

Hydroseeding in Scarsdale takes place in a river valley. The village covers about 6.7 square miles inland within the Bronx River Valley, and the north and south Fox Meadow Brooks and Harts Brook feed the Bronx River in this stretch. Scarsdale is almost entirely residential, so most of our work is lawns, with a careful eye on where runoff goes.

Brooks in the back yard

Many Scarsdale lots back onto a brook, a pond or a wooded drainage way. When a lawn is renovated or a house is expanded, bare soil can wash into those channels in a single storm. We set silt fence between the work and the water, stabilize banks with an erosion control blanket, and hydroseed the rest of the yard on a well-prepped bed.

Keeping the river clean

Under a 2006 agreement, Scarsdale, White Plains, Mount Vernon and Greenburgh agreed to stop sewage discharges into the Bronx River. Sediment is the other pollutant that matters to a river like this. Covering bare soil quickly with hydromulch is one of the simplest ways to keep it out.

Parks next door

Scarsdale keeps about 715 acres of parks and recreation land open to the public. Yards beside parks and fields often share drainage with them. We grade so your lawn drains properly without pushing water onto public land.
