Hydroseeding in Shawnee, KS

Hydroseeding in Shawnee covers a city of almost 43 square miles that began as a Shawnee Indian mission in 1831 and was laid out as a town in 1857. It grew along a government road linking Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and that long history means the east side has older, settled yards while the city's open ground still sees new homes go up.

Near Shawnee Mission Park

Shawnee Mission Park is a 1,600-acre park with a 120-acre lake. Homes near it often back up to woods or open grass that slopes toward water. When we seed one of those yards, the goal is to keep loose soil from running off the lot during the first few storms. A bonded fiber matrix on the steeper strip and a standard hydroseed lawn mix on the flat part is a common split.

East side: repair and renovation

Settled neighborhoods tend to need lawn repair more than new lawns. Utility trenches, removed trees, regraded downspouts and dog paths leave bare patches. We fill and level, then match the surrounding grass as closely as we can.

West side: start from scratch

On newer lots the builder's grade is often rough. Our dirt work crew rakes out rocks, levels low spots and spreads topsoil, then we hydroseed. If the lot is part of an active site, we can also put in silt fence and protect curb inlets.

Soil we expect

Upland loess soils like the Sharpsburg series, which the USDA maps in Kansas and Missouri on slopes from 0 to 18 percent, are common around Johnson County. They grow strong turf but compact easily under trucks, so we break up packed ground before seeding.
