Seeding a city that used to farm

Hydroseeding in Mesa usually starts on ground that was irrigated for a long time before it held houses. As late as 1960, about half of Mesa's residents earned a living from agriculture. That history shows up when we dig: old plow layers, compacted field roads and spots where decades of flood irrigation left the soil tight. A hydroseed lawn on that ground does best when the top few inches are loosened and leveled first.

Canals older than the city

The Hohokam built the original canal system, some of it up to 90 feet wide and 10 feet deep at the head gates. The First Mesa Company reused part of it, and water was flowing again by April 1878. Lots that back onto a canal or lateral often have a raised bank on one side and a slight slope toward the house. We check that grade before any lawn seeding so the new lawn does not end up sitting in a puddle.

Two chances for rain

Mesa averages about 10.76 inches of precipitation a year over 36 days, more than central Phoenix. The wettest stretches are July through September and January through February. For new lawn installation, that winter wet spell is useful for cool-season overseeding, and the late summer storms mean erosion control on any slope or swale should be in place by early July.

New homes and bare backyards

The city stretches 18 miles from Price Road to Meridian Road, and the East Mesa weather record shows a high of 121 degrees. New tract homes often come with bare backyards and builder-graded dirt. That is ideal ground for hydroseeding contractors, as long as the topsoil question is settled first: scraped pads rarely have enough organic matter to carry a lawn through its first summer.

Parks as a reference point

Mesa has more than 2,280 acres of parkland, including 1,146-acre Red Mountain Park with its lake and the 320-acre Legacy Park complex. Large public turf areas in the city show what bermuda does here with steady water and good soil prep.

Mesa Questions

My east Mesa backyard is bare builder dirt. Can it be hydroseeded as is?

Usually it needs some work first. We check compaction and organic matter, add topsoil if needed and fine grade before spraying.

Is there a better time of year to seed in Mesa?

Spring and early fall are easiest for bermuda. Mesa's winter rain also helps if you are overseeding with ryegrass.

Does living next to a canal change anything?

It can. Canal-side lots often slope oddly. We confirm drainage direction before seeding and keep sediment out of the canal.

Can you repair just the dead patches in my lawn?

Yes. Lawn repair on bare spots is a common Mesa job, especially after a hot summer.
