Project Overview
A water undertaker needed vegetation established on a steep, nutrient-poor chalk bank on a politically sensitive site in Kent.
MRF applied Proganics BSM as an alternative to topsoil, followed by Flexterra EFM and a seed mix chosen to stabilise the soil and support biodiversity. Eco-friendly mulch and seed treatments were used to improve germination and soil retention.
