Now that you know something about our company, the next likely question is, "What kinds of seeds are available at Southwest Seed, and for what uses are they suitable?"
Pasture / Range
We can offer you seed from a wide selection of species: alfalfa, brome grass, clover, fescue, cool or warm season grasses, legumes, orchard grass, ryegrass, wheatgrass, and selected small grains. You need to tell us the type of seeding that you intend to make, your elevation and average moisture annually, how you plan to prepare your seed bed and put the seed in the ground, what species you want and we can suggest the correct varieties. Or you can tell us what you want to accomplish, we will ask the questions and help you choose the species and varieties.
For Your Home
You may know pretty much what you want and just how you plan to accomplish the job. You may know the end result that you want and we will ask the questions to help you decide what will give you the best results. We have custom seed mixtures for beautiful irrigated lawns including Kentucky Bluegrass lawn type fescues and ryegrasses. Perhaps you want a lawn, but would like to avoid many of the hassles of caretaking it. We can assist with low maintenance type lawn seed for either cool season or warm season locals. We can also help with those land areas that are not next to your home but need to be addressed to help with erosion, dust control, beauty, and attracting wildlife, birds, and butterflies.
For landowners with pasture area to the serious farmer/rancher, we can help you create the tailured mix to suit your particular situation. We work with local NRCS offices to meet seed needs for CRP and EQIP programs.
Custom mixtures and forbes
We carry a wide variety of standard mixes that have been created for specific ecosystems within the greater Four Corners/Western Colorado region. These meet the needs of many of our customers but we can easily create your custom mix.
