Landscaping & Seeding Methods

 

At JB Extreme Landscapes, we specialise in creating outdoor environments that are not only functional but built to last. From the first cut of earth to the final layer of grass, we use a range of professional landscaping and seeding methods suited to your site conditions, usage, and budget.

Whether you’re finishing a new pump track, regenerating parkland, or restoring disturbed ground after construction, we’ll help you choose the right solution — seeding, turfing, or hydroseeding — for long-term results.

1. Conventional Seeding

Best for: large open spaces, restoration projects, and cost-effective ground coverage.

We use high-quality grass seed mixes tailored to your site’s needs — from fast-growing general amenity seed to heavy-duty sports-grade blends.
Our process includes:

  • Fine soil preparation for even coverage and root establishment

  • Specialist seed drills or broadcast methods

  • Rolling and light raking for secure seed-to-soil contact

  • Optional soil conditioners or fertilisers for rapid establishment

Benefits:

  • Cost-effective for large areas

  • Custom seed blends (shade-tolerant, drought-resistant, or high-traffic)

  • Natural look and feel that blends with the surrounding landscape

 

2. Turfing

Best for: instant green cover, small to medium-sized projects, or when rapid use is required.

Our turfing service delivers ready-to-go lawns or grassy areas that can handle foot traffic within weeks. We source premium, UK-grown turf suited to your site’s usage — from ornamental finishes to durable, wear-resistant turf for active spaces.

Process:

  • Precision grading and soil conditioning

  • Turf laying with tight seams for smooth finish

  • Rolling, watering, and first-feed treatments

  • Aftercare guidance for establishment and maintenance

Benefits:

  • Instant results and immediate erosion control

  • Suitable for high-visibility or public areas

  • Professional finish with minimal downtime

 

3. Hydroseeding

Best for: large or difficult sites, steep slopes, embankments, or erosion-prone areas.

Hydroseeding is a modern, high-performance method where seed, mulch, fertiliser, and tackifier are sprayed in a single application. This ensures even coverage, quick germination, and excellent erosion protection — especially on uneven terrain.

Process:

  • Site preparation and soil grading

  • Application via specialist hydroseeding machinery

  • Fast germination (often within 5–7 days under good conditions)

  • Optional additives for dust suppression or soil stabilisation

Benefits:

  • Ideal for slopes and hard-to-access areas

  • Reduces erosion and runoff

  • Consistent germination and lush growth

  • Can include wildflower, meadow or sports turf mixes

 

Our Experience

We’ve applied these methods across a wide variety of projects:

  • Pump track and BMX park surrounds

  • School grounds and recreation areas

  • Public open space restoration

  • Drainage and embankment stabilisation

  • Private estates and commercial developments

Our experience ensures you get the right surface for your environment — whether it’s for aesthetics, durability, or environmental performance.

 

Choosing the Right Method

Not sure which option suits your project?
We’ll assess your site’s soil, slope, drainage, and intended use to recommend the most effective method — sometimes a combination works best. For example, hydroseeding on embankments with turfing near entrances for instant visual impact.
