Swansea’s historic inland village.
Hortonville is Swansea’s inland village — the historic north-side settlement that earned its own post office in the 1800s and still keeps its own quiet pace.
Away from the bay, Hortonville grows lawns on heavier ground with real frost seasons — closer cousins to Rehoboth turf than to the sandy shore lawns twenty minutes south in the same town.
North Swansea soil holds moisture and nutrients better than the coastal sand — and compacts harder under use. Fall core aeration matters more here than anywhere else in town, and feeding rates run leaner because the soil actually keeps what we apply. A soil test can confirm your exact numbers if you want them.
Inland lows linger: Hortonville sees frost after the shore has moved on and before it returns. We run the village on inland timing — later pre-emergent than Ocean Grove, winterizer timed to the earlier shutdown — because a town with two climates deserves two calendars.
Pre-emergent by soil temperature in late April, grub prevention before July egg-lay, aeration and overseeding through September into early October on this soil. Swansea’s conservation-first watering culture applies here too — deep-rooted turf on moisture-holding ground barely needs the sprinkler.
Excellent service! Our lawn is so healthy and green! Would highly recommend!
My lawn went from patchy and thin to thick and green. PROTURF knew exactly what it needed.
I have been using Eric and his team from pro turf, formally town and country for roughly 4 or so years now and couldn’t be happier with their service and expertise. Eric saved my lawn from total destruction the first year it was planted through a very well scheduled fertilizer program. With the regular fertilizer applications and fall aeration’s and overseeding I now have a lawn to be proud of. They are always very responsive and accommodating when it comes to additional applications and treatments. I hope the photos speak for themselves.
