Hydroseeding in Canby, OR

Hydroseeding in Canby starts on some of the better soil around Portland. When the community was founded in 1857, the area was known as Baker Prairie. The Molalla River passes along the city's southern and western border, and the Willamette lies to the north, with the Canby Ferry crossing it toward Wilsonville.

Valley terrace soils

Much of the Willamette Valley's terrace land is mapped in soils like the Woodburn series, a deep silt loam that USDA describes as moderately well drained with moderately slow permeability and a water table near its highest from December to March. Not every Canby lot has that soil, but where it does, the topsoil is good and drainage is the thing to watch. We fine grade so winter water leaves the lawn and does not sit on it.

Fair and farm country

The Clackamas County Fair and Rodeo has been held at the fairgrounds in Canby since 1907. The city calls itself Oregon's Garden Spot, and new houses often sit on former crop ground that is fertile but compacted by machinery. Loosening the top few inches before spraying lets the new roots go deep.

Molalla River edge

Lots near the Molalla River should keep a sediment barrier on the river side during any grading or construction and leave the riverbank vegetation alone. Where a bank has to be disturbed, we cover it with a blanket and seed.

Simple, effective timing

Canby has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate. Seeding in early fall or spring lets rain do most of the watering; summer lawns need regular irrigation.
