Seeding

Living in southeast Pennsylvania or northern Maryland, it goes without saying that producing quality lawns in this area can be challenging, which is what makes it so important to find professional, quality seeding services for your home or business. Geographically, we are located in the “transition zone” for turfgrasses, meaning that the climate can be hostile to both warm- and cool-season grasses. However, with proper cultural practices, the professionals at Keystone Seeding & Landscapes can help you to establish and maintain a lush, healthy lawn.

Benefits of Seeding Services

Why should you care about seeding your property? Grass is just grass, after all. While you might be focused more on landscaping and hardscaping your property, it is just as important to pay close attention to the health and condition of your lawn. You have worked hard to establish and maintain your home or business and its grounds, so why allow your hard work to go down the drain with an unhealthy yard? Your grass is one of the first things people will see when they approach your property, and nothing says a “gorgeous home” or “professional business” like a lush, green lawn that brings beauty and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space.

Our Seeding Services

Here at Keystone Seeding & Landscapes, we offer the following seeding services to residential and commercial customers in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland:

Sod

Need a new lawn sooner rather than later? We offer affordable, quality sod installation services to help breathe new life into your yard. Sod can be installed nearly any time of year, and is ready for use right away.

Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding offers a number of benefits over traditional seeding in that it is more effective, faster and more evenly distributed. Compared to sodding, hydroseeding is more cost-effective and better customizable for your soil and property.

New Lawns

If you need a full lawn replacement, installing a lawn for new construction, or a pasture, we can help. From sod installation and seeding to hydroseeding, we have the tools, knowledge and equipment to get the job done can help choose the best option for you.

Pastures

We offer seeding for new pastures of any size and shape as well as overseeding. We understand that it’s important to have strong and healthy grasses for grazing animals and offer grasses for this purpose.

Solar Project Seeding

If you are in charge of solar projects or a solar farm and you’ve noticed that your operations have negatively impacted the grass and surrounding property, we can help you determine the type of seeding to best fill in the sparse or thin areas.

Erosion Control

Seeding is a fantastic and successful method to control erosion, runoff and flooding on your property. We offer a number of services for erosion control, including straw matting, hydroseeding, soil stabilization, slope retention and more.

Straw Mulching

We use natural straw mulching to protect your new yard during the initial growth process. This reduces weed growth and is a natural biodegradable solution that is beneficial for the new grass.

Overseeding

By incorporating different types of grass seed, overseeding can help to build resistance to disease while simultaneously filling in thin or bare areas and thickening existing turf. If your lawn was attacked by animals, insects or fungus and you’re ready to improve your lawn’s appearance, ask us about our overseeding services.

Benefits of Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is a process that involves spraying a mixture of water, fertilizer, seed and cellulose fiber over a lawn. In as few as three days, sprouts may begin to appear, and a new lawn may sprout in approximately three weeks. Hydroseeding is becoming more popular, mainly due to the versatility of the product and its relatively affordable cost. Hydroseeding is an effective method to control erosion and establish new lawns, and the process requires less watering than sod. There are several benefits of hydroseeding, including:

Cost effective: Hydroseeding is a smart financial choice that allows you to achieve a beautiful lawn without the expense or time that sodding requires.
Coverage: Hydroseeding provides a more uniform, thicker appearance that creates an optimal growing environment via a mat of interlocking fibers.
Quality: Due to deep root establishment into the soil, hydroseeding allows for a longer-lasting, greener and healthier lawn.
Versatility: Hydroseeding is useful for nearly any types of properties, including homes, schools, parks, commercial landscapes and businesses.
Erosion control: Hydroseeding allows the ground to better hold moisture and protect the soil from potentially harmful environmental elements and pests.
Water: Since hydroseeding retains a significant amount of water, it is an effective method for soil protection, plant survival and healthy, rapid germination.
Safety: Hydroseeding is a non-toxic, completely safe process that does not pose any threat or danger to the environment, pets or children.

To give your grass plants the best chance to survive the summer months, give them the opportunity to mature and develop as many roots as possible before summer comes. Fall is the best time to plant since the plants will be established well before winter sets in. As spring comes, these plants continue to develop, growing deeper roots and becoming thicker, and when summer arrives, the root development and food reserves are much better, and these plants are able to endure the summer stress and heat.
