Hydroseeding in Battle Ground, WA

Hydroseeding in Battle Ground mostly follows new houses. The city's population doubled between 2000 and 2010, making it the second-largest city in Clark County, and from 2000 to 2005 it ranked fourth in Washington for population growth out of 279 cities. Most of that growth meant graded lots, new streets and yards that started as bare dirt.

What builders need

On a new lot the order is simple: silt fence along the downhill side before grading, inlet protection on the nearest catch basins, then hydroseed as soon as final grade is set. Spraying several finished lots in one trip saves time for builders working through a subdivision.

What new homeowners need

Many owners move in to a yard the builder rough graded and left. We break up compacted soil, add topsoil where it is thin, set a fine grade that sheds water off toward the edges of the lot and then hydroseed. Done right, that gives a lawn you will not have to tear out in three years.

Parks and open space

Battle Ground has 22 parks on 72.8 acres plus about 206 acres of open space reserves. Seven parks are still undeveloped, including the 35-acre Durkee Park west of downtown. Park and open space edges are good places for native grass seeding, and sites next to them need sediment kept on the lot.

Central location

The city sits near the geographic center of Clark County, about 11 miles north-northeast of Vancouver and 32 miles south-southwest of Mount St. Helens. We match mulch weight and slope cover to each lot, from flat yards to sloped ones.
