Kirkland Lawns, Low to High

Hydroseeding in Kirkland covers an unusual spread of terrain for one city. Elevation runs from about 14 feet at the Lake Washington shore to roughly 500 feet on the higher ground. Downtown sits on Moss Bay, while neighborhoods added in later annexations reach well up the hills. A waterfront lawn and a hilltop lawn here barely have the same problems, and we price and prep them differently.

Close to the lake

On low lots near the water, the concern is runoff carrying soil and fertilizer into the lake. We keep fertilizer in the slurry at a reasonable rate, set silt fence where yards slope to the shore and seed when rain is likely to help, not flood.

Up the hill

Higher lots often have steeper driveways, retaining walls and cut banks. Those get slope-appropriate treatment: a bonded fiber matrix or blankets on steep faces and standard hydroseed on flatter lawn areas.

Annexed neighborhoods

The 2011 annexation added about 33,000 residents and nearly 7 square miles; earlier annexations brought in Totem Lake in 1974 and South Juanita and Rose Hill areas in 1988. Many homes in these areas are older, and lawn repair or a full lawn renovation is a common request after decades of shade from mature trees.

Denser building

Downtown and Moss Bay have thousands of condos and apartments, mostly built since the 1990s. Infill sites in Kirkland are tight, so hydroseeding from a hose is handy for strips, courtyards and banks a mower can barely reach.

Kirkland Questions

My Finn Hill lawn is under tall evergreens. Will hydroseed work?

It can, with a shade-tolerant mix and realistic expectations. Thinning lower limbs to let more light in makes the biggest difference.

How do you avoid washing fertilizer toward the lake?

We use moderate rates in the slurry, keep silt fence on the shore side and avoid seeding right before a heavy storm.

Can you seed a narrow side yard on a Kirkland infill lot?

Yes. The hose reaches spaces a sod roll or spreader cannot get to easily.

Is a steep bank by my driveway a lawn candidate?

Usually not. We would suggest stabilizing it with bonded fiber matrix or a low-mow mix instead of turf.
