Guthrie's Hills and Old Neighborhoods
Hydroseeding in Guthrie means dealing with hills. The city lies in the Sandstone Hills region, known for hills of 250 to 400 feet and oak forests, and in the Cross Timbers ecological region. Few lots here are dead flat, so lawn work almost always includes some slope planning.
Slopes and seed
On a sloped yard, sprayed seed needs something to hold it until roots grip. Moderate grades get a heavier hydromulch rate; steeper banks get erosion control blankets or bonded fiber matrix. We also break up long slopes with a swale or two so water does not build speed.
The historic district
The Guthrie Historic District includes more than 2,000 buildings and is a National Historic Landmark. Yards around these homes are often small, shaded and decades old. Lawn repair and overseeding are the main jobs there, done carefully around old walks, retaining walls and big trees.
Lakes south of town
Liberty Lake and Guthrie Lake lie to the south of the city. New homes on the south side may drain toward them. Silt fence and fast cover during construction help keep that water clear.
Floodplain history
Guthrie also has a history of floodplain neighborhoods, such as the former area known as Little Africa, which was later destroyed. Low ground near creeks still floods, so we keep fill out of drainage paths and do not regrade in ways that push water onto neighbors.
Founded overnight
Guthrie went from a railroad stop called Deer Creek to a town of about 10,000 in six hours during the Land Run of 1889. Some of the oldest yards in the state are here, along with newer homes on the edges of town.

Guthrie Questions
My Guthrie yard is on a hill. Can hydroseed hold?
Yes, with the right cover. We use heavier mulch, blankets or bonded fiber matrix depending on how steep it is.
Can you overseed a small lawn in the historic district?
Yes. We work carefully around old walks, walls and trees.
Do new homes south of town need silt fence?
Lots that drain toward the lakes should have sediment control until the grass is established.
Will you regrade a yard that floods?
We can regrade to move water away from the house without sending it onto a neighbor's lot.
