Foothill Lawns in North Bend

Hydroseeding in North Bend is foothill work. The town sits at about 440 to 456 feet with Mount Si rising to 4,167 feet right above it, near the big northward bend of the South and Middle forks of the Snoqualmie River. Weather here is closer to the mountains than to Seattle: the city's figures show about 59.1 inches of precipitation and 14.7 inches of snow a year.

Seeding around snow

Snow on a fresh seeding is not necessarily a disaster, but seed that has not rooted before a cold snap can be lost to freeze and runoff when it melts. We prefer to finish lawn seeding by early fall so the grass is rooted before winter, and use blankets on slopes that will be bare going into the snow season.

Building again after a long pause

In 1999 the city imposed a construction moratorium after exceeding its groundwater pumping rights. It lifted in 2009, after an agreement with Seattle Public Utilities and a pipeline from the Cedar River watershed. New construction since then brings demand for silt fence, grading and final hydroseeding on new lots.

Near the river forks

Lots near the South and Middle forks can be low and wet. We look closely at drainage and finish grade before seeding, and keep silt fence on any side that drains toward a channel.

Large rural lots

Many properties around North Bend are bigger than a city lot, with pasture, open fields or long driveways. Hydroseeding is efficient on that much area, and we can use pasture or low-maintenance mixes instead of a fine lawn blend.

North Bend Questions

What if it snows right after you hydroseed?

Rooted grass handles snow fine. That is why we push to finish seeding by early fall, and blanket any slope that will be bare in winter.

Can you seed a pasture or large field near North Bend?

Yes, with a pasture or low-maintenance mix, which makes sense on large rural areas.

My lot is close to the river forks and stays wet. Will grass grow?

Usually after grading for drainage or adding a drain. Seed in standing water rarely makes it.

Will a new house in North Bend need sediment fencing?

Often yes, especially where the lot drains toward a ditch or channel.
