Prairie Grass and New Lawns in Broomfield

Hydroseeding in Broomfield can draw directly on the area's native vegetation. Mapping of potential natural vegetation places Broomfield in shortgrass prairie with grama grass and buffalograss as the expected cover. Those two grasses are the backbone of many low-water seed mixes in the Front Range, and they suit the open spaces, detention areas and back edges of larger lots here.

Hardiness and timing

Broomfield has a cold semi-arid climate and sits in USDA plant hardiness zone 6a, with an average annual extreme low of about minus 9 degrees. Warm-season natives like buffalograss and blue grama germinate best once soil warms in late spring. Cool-season turf mixes for lawns do well in spring and late summer. We match the seeding date to the mix.

A city that grew outward

Broomfield incorporated in 1961 and spent three decades annexing land, until it reached into Adams, Jefferson, Weld and Boulder counties and became its own city and county in 2001. Large areas of former farm and prairie have been turned into neighborhoods and business parks since then. That kind of growth means plenty of builder work: silt fence installation, inlet protection, hydromulch on stockpiles and disturbed ground, and final lawn seeding.

Lakes and trails

Broomfield's trail system links lakes and parks, including Stearns Lake on the west side. Lots and commercial sites near these water features should have sediment control in place while soil is disturbed, and a native grass buffer works well between turf and the water's edge.

Lawn or prairie?

For homeowners, the choice is often both. Irrigated turf where kids and pets use the yard, native prairie grass on side yards, slopes and back strips. We can hydroseed both mixes in a single trip.

Broomfield Questions

Is buffalograss a good choice for a Broomfield yard?

It fits the local prairie and uses little water, but it greens up late and goes dormant early. Many owners use it on side and back areas and keep cool-season turf where the yard gets the most use.

When should native prairie grass be seeded in Broomfield?

Warm-season natives germinate best once soil warms in late spring and early summer.

Do you install silt fence for Broomfield builders?

Yes. Our crews set silt fence, protect storm inlets, and hydromulch disturbed ground and stockpiles on Broomfield sites.

What goes between my lawn and a pond or lake?

A strip of native grass makes a good buffer, and silt fence stays in place until the seeding is established.
