Fixing Parma's 70-Year-Old Yards

Hydroseeding in Parma is mostly about renewing yards that were first graded in the 1950s and 1960s. Parma was the fastest-growing city in the United States by 1956, and its population went from 28,897 in 1950 to 82,845 in 1960. Thousands of lawns were installed in a few years, and most have never been regraded since.

What has changed in 70 years

Backfill around foundations settles, patios and driveways get added, trees grow, and downspouts get redirected. The result is yards that now slope toward the house in places, low strips along fences and thin grass under mature trees. Before hydroseeding, we regrade so water moves away from the foundation, then bring in topsoil to give new grass something to root in.

Parma is high ground

The city sits around 945 feet, and the 1849 Henninger House stands on one of the higher points in Cuyahoga County. The Ridgewood Gardens development, begun in 1919 on about 1,000 acres, was marketed as sitting 325 feet above Lake Erie. High ground drains toward the creeks that start here, so runoff control on any regrading job matters to the neighbors downhill.

West Creek

The West Creek Preservation Agency works to protect natural and historic sites in the West Creek watershed. If your lot drains toward a ravine or creek, we keep silt fence or wattles on the low side until the new grass is up.

Typical Parma jobs

Regrading and new lawn installation in older yards
Topsoil and seeding after driveway or patio work
Hydroseeding after sewer lateral or drainage repairs
Overseeding in late summer

Because yards here are often small, hydroseeding gives an even stand without hauling sod pallets through a side gate.

Parma Questions

My yard slopes toward my basement. Can you fix that before seeding?

Yes. Regrading for positive drainage away from the foundation is the first step on many Parma jobs.

Is hydroseeding worth it for a small Parma yard?

Yes. It needs no sod hauling, and the hose reaches back yards through narrow side lots.

We just had a sewer lateral replaced. Can you seed the trench?

Yes. We top it with topsoil so it does not sink again, then hydroseed.

Will new grass grow under our old oak?

A shade mix will help, but expect a thinner stand in deep shade.
