Hydroseeding in Centerville, UT

Hydroseeding in Centerville takes place on a thin strip of land between the Wasatch Range and Farmington Bay, the easternmost arm of the Great Salt Lake. Water comes down from the mountains and crosses town on its way to the bay. That shapes how we grade and seed: slopes need a firm cover, and yards need a clear path for water.

Lessons from 1983

In 1983, months of unusually high precipitation ended in a series of mudslides and flooded creeks in Centerville and across northern Utah. Much of the hillside housing here sits below the same drainages. East-side slopes we seed get stapled blankets or bonded fiber matrix, with swales kept clear, so a wet spring does not strip a new yard.

Deuel Creek

The town was first called Deuel Settlement after Deuel Creek, where Shadrach Roundy built a grist mill in the winter of 1849. Creek-side lots need silt fence or wattles between bare soil and the channel during any grading work.

Snowy winters, dry July

Centerville averages about 20 inches of precipitation and 64.1 inches of snow a year, while July drops to about half an inch. That much snow is good for fall-seeded lawns, which root before winter and green up early in spring. A July seeding needs heavy mulch and steady water.

Older neighborhoods

Centerville grew by 146.9 percent between 1970 and 1980, so a large share of its homes are 40 to 50 years old. Many of those yards need renovation: loosening, topsoil on bare patches and overseeding.
