Seeding in the Ken Caryl Valley

Hydroseeding in Ken Caryl is shaped by the valley the community fills. The land was a ranch for more than a century, from Robert Bradford's purchase in 1859 through dairy farming and cattle ranching, until the Johns-Manville Corporation bought it in 1971 and built a corporate campus and housing community. Most homes were finished by 1997, and around 6,000 acres in and around the valley have been dedicated to open space.

Yards that meet open space

With that much protected land, many lots back onto native grass and foothill slopes. We often seed a native mix on the outer part of the yard to blend with the open space and keep irrigated turf near the house. Using separate tanks, both go down in one visit.

Foothill slopes

Ken Caryl sits around 5,788 feet in a foothills valley, and many lots are rolling or sloped. When a slope goes bare from a failed sprinkler line, wildlife traffic or construction, we regrade, add topsoil and hydroseed, then lock it down with a coir or straw blanket, or a sprayed bonded fiber matrix, so the next storm does not cut rills into it.

Lawns from the 1970s to 1990s

Because most homes were built between the 1970s and 1997, many lawns are now decades old. We see a lot of renovation work: aeration, top-dressing and overseeding for thin turf, and full regrade-and-hydroseed jobs for yards that have gone to weeds.

Sediment near open space

When additions, pools or retaining walls go in next to open space, soil should stay out of the native land and drainage channels. We install silt fence or wattles along the open space edge and seed the disturbed area as soon as the work is done.

Ken Caryl Questions

My yard backs onto open space. Should I seed native grass at the edge?

Usually, yes. It blends with the open land and needs little water once established. We keep turf near the house.

A slope in my yard went bare after a sprinkler failed. What is the fix?

We regrade it, add topsoil, hydroseed, and protect the seed with a stapled blanket or a bonded fiber matrix spray.

Is my 1990s lawn worth renovating?

If a good share of the grass is alive, aeration and overseeding is usually the better value.

We are building a pool next to open space. What sediment control do we need?

Silt fence or wattles along the open space edge during work, then seeding the disturbed area right after.
