Hydroseeding in Blue Springs, MO

Hydroseeding in Blue Springs starts with the water the town was named for. A spring flowing out of a hillside into a tributary of the Little Blue River drew travelers as early as 1825, and the original town site sat near today's Burrus Old Mill Park. Two centuries later, hillsides that feed small streams are still the spots where bare dirt slides first.

The wet weeks of late spring

May and June are the wettest months here, averaging 5.06 and 5.47 inches. Seed sprayed in mid-May can sit through several soaking storms before it roots. If a spring job cannot wait, we raise the hydromulch rate, add tackifier and keep swales covered with straw blanket. When the homeowner has a choice, we steer toward a late-summer start instead.

Living next to Fleming Park

Fleming Park holds Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo. Blue Springs Lake covers about 720 acres and drains out through the east fork of the Little Blue. Yards on the edges of this park system often slope toward wooded draws, so we keep sediment on the lot with a short line of silt fence during grading and remove it once the grass is up.

A boom-era housing stock

The population jumped 282.6 percent from 1970 to 1980 and kept climbing through the 1980s. Many of those homes now have forty-year-old lawns with thin spots, tree shade and compacted soil. Renovation, core aeration and overseeding make up a big share of our local calls.

Commercial edges

Along the I-70 corridor, new retail pads and parking lot islands need fast cover so mud stays out of storm inlets. We install inlet protection and spray a bonded fiber matrix on steeper cut banks.
