What our grass and wildflower seeding service includes

Our seeding service covers every stage of establishing healthy planted areas for commercial clients. We begin by assessing your site conditions, including soil type, drainage, sunlight exposure, and intended use of the space. This evaluation helps us recommend the most suitable seed mixtures for your specific requirements. For high-traffic areas, we select hard-wearing grass species that withstand regular use. For amenity spaces and ecological projects, we can introduce diverse wildflower meadows featuring native species that support local wildlife.

How we deliver successful grass and wildflower seeding projects

Site assessment and seed selection

2

3

Establishment support and monitoring

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and can arrange follow-up visits to check progress, ensuring your newly seeded areas develop into healthy, established growth.

Complete seeding solutions from preparation to establishment

Ground preparation is crucial for successful seeding, so we ensure your site is properly prepared before any seed is sown. Our team handles all necessary groundwork, including soil cultivation, levelling, stone removal, and drainage improvements where needed. We source quality seed mixtures appropriate for East Anglian growing conditions and apply them using professional seeding equipment to achieve even coverage. After seeding, we provide guidance on irrigation requirements and initial aftercare to give your new grass or wildflower areas the best possible start. Our service extends beyond the initial sowing, with follow-up visits available to monitor establishment and address any problem areas.

Native wildflower meadows for biodiversity and reduced maintenance

Wildflower seeding offers commercial properties a sustainable alternative to traditional grass lawns. Native wildflower meadows require less frequent cutting than conventional turf, reducing ongoing maintenance costs whilst creating valuable habitats for pollinators. These planted areas deliver visual interest throughout the growing season as different species flower in succession.

For businesses seeking to demonstrate environmental commitment, wildflower meadows provide visible evidence of ecological responsibility. We can design seed mixtures that balance aesthetic appeal with practical considerations, ensuring your wildflower areas remain attractive without becoming overgrown or untidy. Many of our commercial clients combine traditional grass areas for functional use with wildflower zones in less-trafficked locations, achieving both usability and enhanced biodiversity across their sites.

Spring and early autumn provide ideal seeding conditions, with adequate moisture and moderate temperatures supporting germination. We can advise on optimal timing for your specific location and seed mixture, as different species have varying requirements. Some wildflower seeds benefit from autumn sowing to allow natural stratification over winter.

Grass typically shows visible growth within 7-14 days under good conditions, reaching usable density after 8-12 weeks. Wildflower meadows develop more gradually, with most species flowering in their second year once root systems are properly established. We provide realistic timescales based on your chosen seed mixture and site conditions.

Yes, though successful establishment requires proper ground preparation first. We improve challenging soils through cultivation, drainage works, and sometimes the addition of topsoil or soil amendments. Our site assessment identifies any preparation work needed before seeding to ensure your investment delivers results.

We give detailed aftercare instructions covering irrigation, first cuts, and weed management for all seeding projects. For clients requiring ongoing support, we offer maintenance contracts that include monitoring visits during the establishment phase and can intervene if problems arise, protecting your investment in new planted areas.
