Rochester Lawn Care
& Outdoor Services

Soil

Silty clay loam consistent with the Beaver River valley deposit soils. Older properties in the compact residential sections often have compacted surface soils from decades of traffic and minimal amendment. Properties near the river confluence have the slowest drainage after heavy rain events.

Turf

Tall fescue is the primary grass type on most maintained residential properties. Rochester's compact borough character and dense older housing stock mean many lawns have mixed stands accumulated from multiple rounds of patchwork seeding by different owners over the decades.

Climate

The river confluence provides notable temperature moderation — Rochester is one of the milder spots in Beaver County during winter. Green-up begins in early April; first frost mid-October. The combination of two rivers creates elevated humidity that promotes fungal pressure in dense shade during summer.
