Hydroseeding in Camas, WA

Hydroseeding in Camas usually means one of two settings: the slopes of Prune Hill or a lot that drains to one of the city's lakes. Prune Hill is an extinct volcanic vent that is part of the Boring Lava Field, and it is one of the main landforms in the city. Water covers about 2.16 of Camas's 16.35 square miles, including Lacamas Lake, Lacamas Creek, Round Lake, Fallen Leaf Lake, Tug Lake, the Washougal River and the Columbia.

Prune Hill slopes

Homes on Prune Hill sit on graded slopes with banks above and below. Bare banks there need more than a light mulch. The steeper faces get pinned blankets or a sprayed bonded fiber matrix, and silt fence runs along the toe until the grass is up.

Lakes downstream

Lacamas Lake and Round Lake sit in Lacamas Park and Heritage Park, used for boating and trails. Soil that leaves a construction lot in this part of town tends to end up in a creek feeding those lakes. Sediment control and quick seeding protect them and keep your topsoil where you paid to put it.

Camas lilies and native meadows

The city is named for the camas lily, whose bulb was prized by Native Americans, and trails in Lacamas Park lead to the Camas Potholes and camas lily fields. On larger lots, a native grass and wildflower mix on slopes or back corners fits that landscape and needs far less mowing than lawn.

Mill town to suburb

Henry Pittock's LaCamas Colony bought 2,600 acres in 1883 to start a paper mill, and the mill has run for more than 140 years. Newer neighborhoods have filled in around it, and builders and homeowners need lawns, slope cover and silt fence as each phase goes in.
