Great watering can

My wife says this has been the best watering can she’s ever used. Well worth the price to have a can that pours consistently, easy to carry, and doesn’t leak.

Great Customer Service!!

The bypass pruners we improperly listed on the website. The cut size was listed larger than the actual pruners were capable of. Although I made my purchase online, they called me the next business day to ensure I still wanted my order. When I said yes, they shipped that day.

Aspen’s elevation and short growing season call for hardy, cool-season grass seed. Blends like the Rivendell Pitkin County Seed Mix and Native Low Grow Mix are developed for mountain conditions and do well in dry, rocky soils. These mixes are made with native grasses and species that hold up to cold nights, low water, and patchy sun. You can explore our full grass seed collection for more options suited to the region.
The best grass seed depends on what kind of space you're planting and how it's used. Here's a simple way to match your project with the right type of seed:
- For home lawns or backyards that get a mix of sun and activity, look for a reliable cool-season blend that provides strong coverage. A bluegrass mix is often used for this purpose because it handles foot traffic well and looks clean and full.
- For shady areas like the side of a house, under trees, or near fences, choose seed that tolerates limited sunlight. Shade-tolerant mixes or fine fescue blends are made for these conditions and can fill in slower-growing spots.
- For slopes or areas prone to erosion, native and low-grow seed mixes are helpful because they hold soil in place and require less upkeep once established. These are often used on hillsides and ditches, like the Mountain Pasture Seed Mix or reclamation blends.
- For large pastures or grazing land, pasture-specific mixes are ideal. These are made up of hardy species that grow back after grazing, such as pasture blends or equine mixes.
- For quick repairs or overseeding, use a fast-germinating seed to fill bare patches before cooler weather sets in. Perennial ryegrass blends are commonly used for this since they sprout quickly and work well for short-term fixes.
It depends on the seed variety, seeding rate, and how thick you want your coverage. A 50 lb bag of bluegrass seed can cover up to 10,000 square feet, which is a good quantity for most residential lawns. Native grasses or pasture seed may need more per acre depending on species and ground condition. The seeding rate matters when you’re planning a larger area or working with uneven terrain. Using the right amount from the start helps promote strong, even growth and saves time in the long run.
Yes, our team is made up of knowledgeable staff who know what works in this region’s climate, soil types, and growing seasons. At Rivendell Distribution, we take pride in offering friendly, local service to help you choose the right seed for your lawn, pasture, hillside, or shaded area.
If you're working on a large project or looking for a deal on bulk seed, we can help you make the most of your budget. Shop our full selection online or visit us at 3961 Co Rd 114, Glenwood Springs, CO.
