    About the Product:

    This Wildflower Turf® solution has been designed by our research and development department, using our experience with the installation of Wildflower Turf® in Sustainable Drainage Systems within the UK and liaising with Landscape and Ecology professionals. The species selected, have been chosen to assist in the breakup of pan or soil compaction for maximum water dispersal, whilst remaining established in times of drought or periodic flooding. This solution remains aesthetically and environmentally pleasing, introducing improved bio-diversity with very low maintenance required.

    This turf has been developed by the company using its unique ‘soil-less’ system that is more drought tolerant than other more conventional methods.

    The turf is made up of 37 different species of wild flowers and grasses, subject to seed availability, with a minimum of 50% wild flowers.

    To produce this environmentally beneficial product, every effort is made to source sustainable ingredients, for example composted green waste and organic nutrients, as well as carefully monitoring all inputs such as electricity and water. The turf naturally produces a bio-diverse habitat supporting birds, mammals, bees, butterflies and other invertebrate species.

Bioswale and water run-off integrated with Sustainable Drainage Systems.

DELIVERY

Please Note: All deliveries are roadside only

The London Lawn Turf Company operates a fleet of vehicles across London & the Home Counties.

When possible we will use vehicles that are fitted with a crane offloading facility, enabling access to front gardens as well as over walls, fences and hedges.

The company also uses smaller vehicles for more awkward sites with limited access.

Our drivers will always do their best to site products where they are required. Crane offloading of turf and soil can be placed within 3-4 metres of the delivery vehicle. Smaller vehicles in the fleet can usually access back service roads and down front drives.
