Big Lots and Sandy Soil in North Kingstown

Hydroseeding in North Kingstown covers a lot of ground. The town has about 43.6 square miles of land along the west side of Narragansett Bay, from Wickford harbor to Quonset Point, and many parcels are large compared with the cities to the north. Bigger lawns and wide, open sites are where hydroseeding saves the most time over hand seeding.

Quick-draining outwash

Some lots here sit on sandy, gravelly ground. Where that ground is glacial outwash, it behaves like the USDA's Merrimac series, which the agency describes as somewhat excessively drained with high to very high water movement. On ground like that, seed dries out fast. We use a thicker mulch layer, add organic matter or topsoil where we can, and stress watering for the first few weeks.

Quonset Point

Quonset Point is home to the former Naval Air Station and was once base to the Seabees. Large sites in that area need sediment control during building and quick, even turf when they wrap up.

Farms and wetlands

Casey Farm, dating to 1725, is described as one of the oldest working farms in New England, and the Davis Memorial Wildlife Refuge preserves 96 acres of forest and wetlands. New homes next to farms and wetlands need silt fence to keep runoff where it belongs until lawns are thick.

Wickford

The historic village around Wickford harbor has older homes on smaller lots. Those jobs are lawn renovation and seeding after repairs, often near the water.
