Timing Is Everything in Chardon

Hydroseeding in Chardon is a question of timing more than anything else. Chardon is called the snowiest city in Ohio, averaging about 107 inches of snow a year, and its climate table shows about 113.7 inches for 1991-2020. The city sits on a ridge roughly 10 miles inland from Lake Erie, and winds crossing the lake are lifted by that ridge and drop their snow here.

A short, wet season

Average yearly precipitation in Chardon is about 50.71 inches, and it peaks in August. April snow is common enough that the Geauga County Maple Festival on Chardon Square has had to be rescheduled many times. That leaves a narrower seeding window than in Cleveland. We usually aim for late May into early June after the ground dries, or late August through early September, when the wettest month is ending.

Heavy rain on new seed

With August being the wettest month, late-summer seeding has to hold up to downpours. Slopes get a thicker hydromulch or BFM, and any swale gets pinned blankets. On flat yards a standard mulch is fine, but we still check where roof water goes.

Headwaters

Geauga County holds the headwaters of the Cuyahoga, Chagrin and Grand rivers, and the east branch of the Chagrin starts partly at the southwest corner of Chardon. Runoff from local yards reaches a scenic river fast, so silt fence or wattles go up on bare ground near ditches.

Winter damage repair

Snow piles, plows and salt are hard on lawns. Spring lawn repair, topsoil along driveways and overseeding are some of our most common Chardon requests.

Chardon Questions

Which weeks work for hydroseeding up on the Chardon ridge?

Late May to early June, or late August through early September. Very late fall seeding is risky with early snow.

Plows tore up the edge of my lawn. Can you fix it?

Yes. We add topsoil along the edge and overseed once the ground is workable.

Will August storms wash out new seed?

On slopes they can, so we use a heavier mulch or blanket. Flat yards hold up well with standard hydromulch.

Does the April snow delay spring jobs?

Sometimes. We schedule spring work around soil conditions, not a fixed date.
