Fixing Lawns in Older Additions
Hydroseeding in Warr Acres is mostly renovation work. The city formed in February 1948 when residents of 11 housing additions, including Putnam City, voted to incorporate. Clyde B. Warr had developed the first Warr Acres additions in 1937. Many of today's yards are 75 years old or more and show it.
Tired yards
Old lawns pick up years of compaction, tree roots and uneven settling. Some have lost so much topsoil that grass barely holds. We start with a look at drainage and soil, then fill low spots, topdress thin areas and overseed by hydroseeding.
Sandstone Hills ground
Warr Acres lies in the Sandstone Hills region, known for hills of 250 to 400 feet and forests of blackjack oak and post oak. Many yards still have oaks that shade parts of the lawn. We seed for sun where there is sun and suggest other options under the canopy.
Drought, then flash flooding
Central Oklahoma swings between drought and heavy rain that causes flash flooding. In a compact, built-out city like Warr Acres, about 2.8 square miles along MacArthur Boulevard, there is not much room for water to soak in. Good grading and full turf cover help slow runoff and keep soil on the lot.
Small yards, careful work
Lots in the older additions are close together, with fences, sidewalks and driveways on every side. Hydroseeding suits that well because the hose reaches into back yards without driving equipment across the lawn, and the slurry can be aimed to stay off concrete and siding.
Typical work here
- Overseeding and lawn repair on older lots
- Yard grading to move water away from homes
- Seeding after sewer and driveway work
- Small slope fixes near commercial strips
