Use hydroseeding towards biodiversity net gain
Hydroseeding to help new developments archive their biodiversity net gain targets
With Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) now a mandatory requirement for new developments in England, achieving at least a 10% increase in biodiversity is no longer optional it’s essential. Developers are seeking practical, cost-effective, and ecologically sound solutions that integrate seamlessly into project timelines. One such solution is hydroseeding.
Hydroseeding is increasingly recognised as a powerful tool to support BNG objectives, delivering rapid vegetation establishment while enhancing ecological value.
One of the biggest advantages of hydroseeding is the ability to use bespoke seed mixes. These can be designed to:
- Include native grasses and wildflowers
- Support pollinators such as bees and butterflies
- Align with local habitat types identified in ecological assessments
By selecting species that score highly under the Defra Biodiversity Metric, hydroseeding directly contributes to measurable biodiversity uplift.
If you require help to achieve your biodiversity net gain targets get in touch and one of our friendly team will be delighted to help.
