Designed for rain gardens, bioswales and detention ponds, Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf seamlessly combines practical performance with sustainable design and natural beauty. With around 30 species included, Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf supports biodiversity and provides long-flowering meadows suitable for urban areas. Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf is designed to handle a range of challenging conditions such as drought stress on dry banks and occasional waterlogging.
Pre-grown for fast and easy establishment, Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf stabilises on banks quickly with dense root systems. Our plastic and peat-free SuDS Turf requires low maintenance, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of projects.
Substrate Development and Supply
Pictorial Meadows' parent company, The Green Estate CIC, has developed a specialist substrate for SuDS features, crafted from locally-sourced, peat-free, reclaimed and recycled materials. This SuDS Substrate is engineered to manage water infiltration and retention according to civil engineering standards, while providing optimal growing conditions for a range of ornamental and ecological plants.
Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf offers a practical, low-maintenance solution for sustainable water management. When managed with the right tools and timing, Pictorial Meadows SuDS Turf can require just one maintenance cut-and-collect visit per year, helping to reduce the number of overall maintenance visits required, thus reducing effort and ongoing care.
"This approach to SuDS reduces costs, waste and our carbon footprint while maximising the ecological and visual benefits."
— Dan Cornwell, Director of Commercial Landscapes at The Green Estate CIC
