Seeding Semi-Rural Loomis

Hydroseeding in Loomis usually means bigger, more rural parcels than in neighboring Rocklin. Loomis incorporated on December 17, 1984, partly to avoid annexation by Rocklin and to protect its small-town character, and it still has about 6,836 residents on 7.27 square miles. In the early 1900s it was the second-largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County, and the High Hand and Blue Goose packing sheds still stand by the tracks.

Antelope Creek and Secret Ravine

The town's stream drainages include Antelope Creek and Secret Ravine. Parcels that slope toward either channel need sediment kept in place after any grading. We like fiber rolls on the contour above the creek side, silt fence where the slope is longer, and a bonded fiber matrix or blanket on banks rather than a light mulch.

Placer County site basics

Placer County asks contractors to protect storm drain inlets within roughly 300 feet of a project with gravel-filled filter bags, to use gravel rather than sand in gutter dams and to build a rocked entryway, typically 1.5- to 6-inch rock, to keep dirt off roads. On a Loomis driveway or barn pad project, those are usually the first items we set before grading begins.

Orchard and pasture ground

With a farming past and many acreage lots, Loomis jobs often mix uses: a lawn near the house, pasture or field grass on open ground and native seed on the banks. Hydroseed can cover all three in one trip by switching the mix in the tank.

Climate

Loomis sits at about 404 feet. It gets about 20.45 inches of rain a year with almost no snow, and highs run from 53 degrees in January to 94 in July. Unirrigated pasture and native areas should be seeded in fall to use the winter rain; irrigated lawns can go in spring or fall.

Loomis Questions

Can you seed pasture on my Loomis acreage?

Yes. We spray pasture or field grass mixes on open ground and can do the lawn and banks in the same visit.

What does Placer County expect at the driveway during grading?

A rocked entrance to keep dirt off the road and filter bags on nearby drain inlets. We set those up first.

My land slopes toward Secret Ravine. How do you keep soil out?

Fiber rolls on the contour, silt fence on longer slopes and a heavier cover like BFM on the bank until the grass roots.

Is fall seeding better for unirrigated areas?

Yes. Seeded in fall, the winter rain does the watering. Spring-seeded pasture without irrigation often struggles once summer starts.
