New Lawns at the Edge of the Metro
Hydroseeding in Yorkville often happens on lots that were cropland not long ago. The city went from 6,189 residents in 2000 to 16,921 in 2010, a 173 percent jump, and reached 21,533 in 2020. It is the county seat of Kendall County and borders Montgomery, Oswego and Plano, so new streets keep pushing outward into open ground.
Farm ground is not lawn ground
Years of tillage leave a plow layer over a dense pan, and site grading often strips the good topsoil and buries it under subsoil. Grass seeded straight onto that will come up and then thin out by August. Before spraying, we rip or till compacted areas, spread topsoil where the builder left it short and fine grade so the yard drains away from the house.
Wind and open fields
A new neighborhood next to open farmland catches more wind than an established suburb. Bare soil dries fast and blows. Hydromulch helps here because the fiber and tackifier bind the surface, cutting both blowing dust and water loss while seed germinates.
The Fox River corridor
The Fox River flows through downtown, and Marge Cline Whitewater Park, opened in 2010, is described as the only whitewater park of its kind in Illinois. Riverbank yards and slopes down to the water need erosion control that holds in a fast rise. We use straw or coconut blankets on the steepest sections and hydromulch on the rest.

Yorkville Questions
My new Yorkville lot used to be a cornfield. Does that help the lawn?
Not always. Grading often buries the good soil and the old plow pan stays compacted, so we loosen it and add topsoil first.
Does hydromulch help with wind on open lots?
Yes. The fiber and tackifier hold the surface so the soil and seed do not blow off.
Can you stabilize a bank down to the Fox River?
Yes, usually with blankets on the steepest part and hydromulch above.
Do you install drain tile before seeding?
Our grading crew handles trenching for drainage when a yard needs it, then we seed over it.
Do you work on builder lots in new Yorkville subdivisions?
Yes, including silt fence and final seeding.
