Grass Margins

Grass Margin Mixtures

Our range of seed mixtures for grass margins caters for all the basic requirements that farmers and / or game keepers may have. We can provide a tall tussocky margin for nesting, or a fine grass marin with low productivity, that will produce less material for cutting and allow wild flowers to develop within the sward.  We are always pleased to discuss your requirements and suggest the best products and management plans, plus we can make bespoke mixtures for your site if necessary.
