Hydroseeding in Bloomfield, CT

Hydroseeding in Bloomfield is well suited to the town's bigger lots. The economy was based on agriculture, mostly shade tobacco, until post-war suburban growth. The southern and eastern edges are now more densely built, while the northern and western sections keep a rural character with meadows, woods and some farmland. Large yards and open ground are where hydroseeding's speed is most useful.

Covering acreage

Seeding an acre or more by hand or with sod is slow and costly. A hydroseed truck can spray large areas evenly in one visit, with the seed and hydromulch going on together. For big lawns we talk about how much should be fine turf near the house and how much can be a tougher, lower-maintenance mix toward the edges.

Meadow edges and wildlife

On rural lots that border meadows or woods, deer and weed pressure from the field edge are part of the picture. A dense stand of grass established in fall resists weed invasion better than a thin spring seeding, and we may recommend a second overseeding the following year on large areas.

Ridge to the west

Talcott Mountain, part of the Metacomet Ridge, flanks the west side of Bloomfield, with Penwood State Park on the ridge. Lots near the ridge have more slope and need erosion control on new grading. The Farmington River forms the northern border and runs through the Tariffville Gorge on the Bloomfield, Simsbury and East Granby line.

Growth spurt

Bloomfield began developing as a Hartford suburb in the 1950s, when population jumped 136.9 percent in a decade. Many homes from that era have lawns ready for renovation.
