Seeding at Castle Pines Elevation

Hydroseeding in Castle Pines begins with elevation. The city lists itself at about 6,559 feet, well over 1,000 feet higher than downtown Denver, and that changes the growing season. Spring warms later and fall cools sooner, so we pay close attention to seeding dates and favor mixes that tolerate cold nights.

Three drainages

Happy Canyon Creek runs north-northeast through the western part of the city, while Newlin Gulch and South Newlin Gulch run through the eastern part. All three belong to the Cherry Creek watershed. Lots that drain into one of these channels need sediment control during grading, and channel banks are best seeded under erosion control blankets.

A young city

Castle Pines incorporated on November 6, 2007, and covers about 6,140 acres, all land. Much of the city has been built recently or is still under construction, so a lot of our work here is seeding new home lots, HOA common areas and road cuts after grading.

Slopes and road cuts

Rolling ground means plenty of cut and fill slopes along streets and behind homes. On those we hydroseed a mix with native grasses that root deeply, apply bonded fiber matrix or blankets depending on steepness, and add wattles across long slopes to slow runoff.

Turf where it counts

Many owners here keep irrigated turf to the area right around the house and let the outer yard go to native grass. That cuts water use, fits the setting and holds soil well on slopes.

Castle Pines Questions

Does Castle Pines' elevation shorten the seeding season?

Yes, a little at both ends. We plan seeding dates for the site and use a dormant fall seeding with mulch when timing is tight.

What grass mix works at 6,500 feet?

Cool-season blends that tolerate cold nights for lawns, and native grasses on slopes and outer areas.

How do you handle a lot that drains to Newlin Gulch?

We install silt fence or wattles on the low side and seed the bank under an erosion control blanket.

Can you seed HOA common areas and road cuts?

Yes. We seed common areas and stabilize road cut slopes with native mixes and bonded fiber matrix.
