Higher Ground Along Cherry Creek

Hydroseeding in Parker starts at a higher elevation than central Denver. The town lists itself at about 5,900 feet, and Cherry Creek flows through Parker on its way north toward the city. Being several hundred feet higher can mean a slightly shorter season for new grass, so we pay attention to seeding dates and give fall lawns enough time to establish before cold weather.

Cherry Creek and its gulches

Properties near Cherry Creek, Sulphur Gulch and Newlin Gulch drain toward the creek corridor. When ground is opened up for a new home, addition or regrade, we install silt fence or wattles along the downhill edge and get seed and hydromulch on the soil as soon as grading is done, so sediment stays on the lot instead of reaching the creek.

A town that grew fast

Parker incorporated on May 1, 1981, and has become a commuter town at the southeastern corner of the metro. Its 2020 census count of 58,512 was estimated at about 65,000 by 2024. Many yards are on lots graded in the last few decades, where topsoil depth varies widely. We probe the soil and add topsoil in the thin spots before lawn seeding.

Large lots and acreage

The edges of Parker include larger lots where irrigating every square foot is not practical. For those, we often recommend turf around the house and a dryland native grass mix on the rest, hydroseeded with a heavier mulch to hold moisture.

Steppe climate

Parker has a mid-latitude steppe climate (BSk), with large year-to-year swings in precipitation. A dry spring can follow a wet one. We do not count on rain alone for a new hydroseed lawn here and want irrigation working before we spray.

Parker Questions

Does Parker's elevation change when I should hydroseed?

It can shorten the fall window a little. We aim to seed early enough for the lawn to establish before cold weather, or plan a dormant seeding with mulch.

My lot drains toward Cherry Creek. What do you do during grading?

We install silt fence or wattles on the low side and cover bare soil with seed and hydromulch quickly so sediment stays on site.

I have a few acres outside town. Does it all need turf?

No. We often hydroseed turf near the house and a dryland native mix on the rest.

Can I rely on spring rain for a new lawn in Parker?

Rainfall varies a lot from year to year, so we want irrigation working before we seed.
