Rolling Ground in Centennial

Hydroseeding in Centennial often involves a slope, swale or ravine edge somewhere on the property. The city describes itself as having many hills, gullies and ravines, and its open spaces follow those drainages, from Dry Creek Dam and DeKoevend Park to the High Line Canal Trail, Willow Creek Trail and the Big Dry Creek and Little Dry Creek trails. Water collects in those low lines during summer storms, and bare soil in its path does not last long.

Seeding swales

A grass-lined swale needs grass that roots before the next big rain. In concentrated flow lines we usually hydroseed and then lay an erosion control blanket along the channel bottom, pinned at the top so water flows over it rather than under it. On gentler side slopes, hydromulch with tackifier is often enough.

Ravine edges and backyard banks

Many Centennial backyards end at a bank that drops toward a trail corridor. When a bank has gone bare from foot traffic, dogs or a failed sprinkler zone, we regrade the worst spots, add topsoil, seed with a mix that roots deep, and cover with a blanket or bonded fiber matrix depending on steepness.

Built-out neighborhoods

Centennial incorporated in 2001 from developed parts of Arapahoe County, which made it the largest incorporation in US history at the time, with more than 100,000 people. That means most of our Centennial work is on existing homes rather than raw new subdivisions: lawn renovation, overseeding thin turf, and regrading spots that hold water near a foundation.

Commercial and school sites

New athletic and commercial projects still come up. A soccer training center with eight fields on 43 acres was planned in partnership with the Cherry Creek School District. Sites like that need silt fence and inlet protection during earthwork, then hydroseeding on the surrounding disturbed areas once fields and pads are finished.

Centennial Questions

Water runs through a swale in my yard every storm. Will hydroseed hold there?

Seed alone often washes out of a flow line. We hydroseed and lay an erosion control blanket along the channel so grass can root.

The bank behind my house going down to the trail is bare. Can it be fixed?

Yes. We regrade the worst spots, add topsoil, seed and cover the slope with a blanket or bonded fiber matrix.

Most of my Centennial lawn is fine but a few areas are thin. What do you suggest?

Spot repair and overseeding usually make more sense than replacing the whole lawn.

Do you seed around new athletic fields and commercial pads?

Yes. We hydroseed the disturbed ground around them and handle silt fence and inlet protection during construction.
