Wildflower Meadows
& Species-rich Lawns
Wildflower meadow installation projects are carried out in the greater Glasgow area, and further afield for larger jobs. After conducting a detailed site assessment including soil tests and microclimate analysis, Tom designs a bespoke, ecologically-informed, native wildflower seed mix. We then prepare the ground and seed it with your tailormade mix, providing aftercare services or advice as required.

Creating a wildflower meadow in your garden allows you to transform sterile lawns into vibrant ecosystems teeming with butterflies, bees, and birds. These meadows, once established, require minimal maintenance while delivering maximum environmental benefits and year-round interest. It is easy to get the establishment of wildflower meadows wrong - using our professional expertise, combining both horticultural and ecological knowledge, we can ensure successful establishment and stunning results. Each project is approached with meticulous attention to detail, from seed selection through to installation and aftercare.
We also install species-rich wild lawns: hard-wearing, usable lawns that stay short enough to walk and play on while supporting far more wildlife than conventional turf. A wild lawn combines native lawn grasses with low-growing wildflowers such as clover, yarrow, daisy, speedwell, hawkbit, black medic and thyme, giving you a soft green surface studded with flower and alive with pollinators through the season. Because these species tolerate regular cutting, a wild lawn needs less feeding, watering and mowing than a standard lawn, yet delivers genuine biodiversity value in even a small Glasgow garden. It suits anyone who wants a practical, family-friendly space rather than a full wildflower meadow, and we design each mix around your soil, aspect and how the lawn will actually be used.
