Seeding Commercial and Home Sites in Burlington

Hydroseeding in Burlington serves a town that changed faster than almost anywhere else in Massachusetts. For most of its history it was farmland selling hops and rye to Boston. Route 128 arrived, and between 1955 and 1965 Burlington was the fastest-growing town in the state, with its population tripling in one five-year span.

Commercial sites

Today Burlington is a professional hub, and office, lab and retail projects are common. On these sites the silt fence and catch basin protection go in before anything else, stockpiles are kept stabilized, and we hydroseed islands, berms and slopes once paving is done. Steep berms get a blanket or bonded fiber matrix.

Three watersheds

Burlington sits on the divide between the Ipswich, Mystic and Shawsheen river watersheds. Water from one side of town heads north and east, and from the other heads toward Boston Harbor. Sediment control on a Burlington site protects more than one river system.

Mill Pond and the water supply

Mill Pond Reservoir in the east holds 500 million gallons and feeds one of the town's two water treatment plants. Next to it, the Mill Pond Conservation Area covers more than 140 acres of rolling and steep terrain. Projects in that part of town call for careful perimeter controls and quick seeding.

Home lawns from the boom years

The houses built during the 1950s and 1960s boom now have lawns that are 60 years old. Many need full renovation: strip the old turf, add compost or topsoil, and hydroseed. Vine Brook, which runs from Lexington to Bedford, crosses town, and yards near it often have wet spots to plan around.

Landlocked Forest

The roughly 270-acre Burlington Landlocked Forest, rezoned as open space by Town Meeting in 2017, borders some neighborhoods. We keep seed and mulch off it.

Burlington Questions

Do you seed parking-lot islands and berms?

Yes. We spray islands, berms and perimeter slopes once paving and curbing are done.

Can you install inlet protection on an active site?

Yes. We fit catch basins with filter inserts or sediment barriers and check them after storms if you add a maintenance visit.

My 1960s lawn is mostly weeds. Is it worth renovating?

Usually. Stripping and reseeding costs much less than sod and gives you new grass suited to your yard.

Our yard gets soggy near Vine Brook. What grass works?

We use a blend that tolerates damp soil and grade to move surface water off the lawn where possible.
