Grass in the Puyallup Valley

Hydroseeding in Puyallup happens on some of the most interesting ground in the region. The Puyallup Valley sits on deposits of the 5,600-year-old Osceola Mudflow from Mount Rainier, which laid down as much as 98 feet of material. The Puyallup River runs 45 miles from glaciers on Mount Rainier to Commencement Bay in Tacoma, and the valley is still an agricultural region producing berries and daffodils.

Valley soils

River valleys like this commonly carry alluvial soils. If a soil report for your property shows the USDA Puyallup series, that soil formed in recent alluvium on floodplains and low terraces, with 0 to 3 percent slopes and good drainage, and is used for hay, pasture and row crops. Ground like that usually seeds easily; our main job is fine grading and making sure construction compaction is broken up.

Mixed lots

Not every lot is river soil. Fill brought in during construction, gravel pads and old farm roads all show up on new home sites. We check the surface and add topsoil where needed rather than spraying seed onto hardpan.

Dry summers

Puyallup's summers are warm and dry with highs in the 70s most days, and most precipitation falls between October and March. Fall seeding takes advantage of returning rain; summer seeding needs a watering schedule.

Big event grounds and farms

The Washington State Fair draws over one million people a year. Fairgrounds, farms and other large open areas are good candidates for hydroseeding because coverage is fast and the cost per square foot is low compared with sod.

Puyallup Questions

Is Puyallup valley soil good for a new lawn?

Valley alluvium usually grows grass well. The bigger issue is construction fill and compaction on top of it, which we fix before seeding.

Can you hydroseed pasture or a horse field?

Yes. Hydroseeding works well on large open areas, and we can use a pasture mix instead of a lawn blend.

When should I seed in Puyallup?

Early fall is usually easiest because rain returns. Spring is fine with irrigation through the dry summer.

Do you install silt fence along farm ditches during construction?

Yes. Ditches carry sediment fast, so silt fence and quick cover matter there.
