Hydroseeding
In 2022 PBF acquired Aquaseeders, a specialist hydroseeding company. Having collaborated on many projects previously, bringing hydroseeding capability in house was the perfect complement to the PBF range of site solutions.
PBF carry out mechanical and hydroseeding works for a range of purposes and clients. Projects include soil stabilisation and erosion control, improving site biodiversity, creating habitats, protection of temporary soil storage bunds, ground reinstatement, creation of grassland, living walls, weed control and visual improvements. Seed mixes can be tailored to meet your site requirements with grassland and wildflower blends. Specialist engineered fibre matrix can be used to help stabilise a surface until initial growth occurs.
Our range of clients for hydroseeding include all sizes of construction site, railways, roads, private gardens, sports clubs, site re-generations, parks, commercial sites and even theme parks. Whilst as hydroseeding experts we clearly believe in its benefits, PBF are able also able to offer mechanical seeding and turf laying where these solutions meet the site requirements.

Why use us to carry out your hydroseeding?
- Over 35 years of hydroseeding experience across the UK on a vast range of projects and applications.
- On site expertise backed up with first rate compliance management, bespoke RAMS and online job flow software.
- Each seed specification is individually tailored for each enquiry we receive. Factors such as location, soil type, soil fertility and its future intended usage are all taken into account.
- Hydroseeding can be used on most soil types as specific grass seeds can be selected to suit the environment and local conditions.
- Seeds can be applied to almost any location that other methods cannot reach.
- No need for time consuming preparation and tilthing, the slurry contains a cellulose wood fibre mulch which aids seed germination. Grass seed can be applied to a machine tracked area and still produce a fully grassed finish.
- Hydroseeding can be used as a cost -effective alternative to the time consuming process of laying turf and watering it in to get the grasses to knit into the soil. Rather than stressing or damaging the root system of grasses when the turf is lifted, Hydroseeding allows the grasses to grow in situ. Germination is assisted by the mulch fibres and the young grasses grow rapidly due to the added fertiliser with slow release granules.
- Why not try us for lawn regeneration or as an alternative to turf laying. Hydroseeding is quicker than seeding alone and considerably cheaper than laying turf. In the USA a large proportion of all grass seeding or wildflower seeding is undertaken by hydroseeding contractors.
