Grasses

 

The grass seed mixes below are suggested for this area to give your land a good variety of grasses that help to contain erosion.

Grasses in many species other than those listed here are also available.  If you have a specific seed mix for your acreage, we can get a price for you and order it for the acreage needed to be seeded.  We also rent a Native Grass Seed Drill. Call us at 303 688-3042 ext. 100 or e-mail us for more information.

Nice To Know

  • The Native Mix takes 2 to 3 seasons to establish, but it is hardier when established.
  • The Introduced Mix establishes itself easily, however, it is not as hardy as the native mix.
  • The best times to plant Seed is between November 1st after the first frost through May 1st.  
  • Broadcast or Drill?  By using a seed drill to plant your seed, you only need half of the seed rate that you would use for broadcasting seed.  When drill seeding, the planting is more successful and the cost is about half.
