Johnston Lawns on Higher Ground

Hydroseeding in Johnston usually happens on higher, rolling ground than in the cities to the east. The town's listed elevation is about 246 feet, and its 23.7 square miles of land run from dense villages like Manton and Graniteville out to open country around Snake Den State Park. Upland lots drain well but can dry out fast, so seed timing and mulch depth matter.

Commercial grounds

Citizens Bank opened a $285 million corporate campus in Johnston in 2018, a 425,000 square foot complex with about 3,000 employees, and FM Global is also based in town. Campus and office projects need large areas of turf established in one push, plus sediment control during construction. Hydroseeding with a truck-mounted machine covers acres in a day.

Farm country at Snake Den

Snake Den State Park, about 1,000 acres on Route 6, includes Dame Farm, a working farm the state bought in 1969 to keep part of Rhode Island's farming history. Lots near the park often border fields and woods. On those edges we keep runoff from new lawns out of the woods and fields with silt fence until the grass is up.

Dry spells on upland soil

High, well-drained lots can lose moisture quickly in a hot spell. We schedule most seeding for late summer and early fall, use a mulch rate that holds water, and give clear watering instructions for the first three weeks.

Lake and village lots

Moswansicut Lake is among the places named in town, and older villages have small yards, stone walls and ledge close to the surface. Where rock is shallow, we add topsoil to a usable depth before seeding instead of spraying over thin soil.

Johnston Questions

Can you seed several acres of commercial grounds at once?

Yes. Our machine covers large areas quickly, and we can phase the work around paving and landscaping crews.

My lot is high and dries out. Will hydroseed still take?

Yes, with the right timing and watering. The mulch layer helps hold moisture around the seed.

There is ledge in my yard. What do you do?

We add topsoil to a usable depth over the rock. Grass seeded on an inch or two of soil burns out in summer.

My lot borders a farm field. Do I need silt fence?

If bare soil can wash onto the field or into the woods, we recommend it until the lawn fills in.
