Fields of HeshbonNative seeding for high-desert ground
Native grasses and wildflowers hold soil, feed pollinators and need little or no water once established. We prepare the ground, choose a seed mix suited to the site, and time the seeding to give it the best start.

Native Seeding FAQ
When is the best time to seed natives here?
Often just ahead of the summer monsoon for warm-season grasses, or late fall for a dormant seeding that sprouts with spring moisture. We time it to your site and mix.
How long until native grass fills in?
Natives put down roots first, so the first season can look thin. Most stands fill in over one to three growing seasons.
Do I have to water native seed?
Not always, but light watering during dry spells in the first season greatly improves results.
Can native seeding stop erosion?
Yes. Native roots hold soil, especially when seeding is combined with mulch or simple erosion control.
