Grasses

 

Grass mixes are pre-selected for this area to give your land a good variety of grasses that help to contain erosion and increase the nutrient value of the soil.

Individual grasses in many species other than those listed here are also available, and you can order them in any quantities and mixes you wish.  Call us at 303 621-2070 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.
