At Knighton Countryside Management, we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and make the most of the materials we clear. Rather than disposing of everything, we aim to recycle and repurpose wherever possible, turning what’s removed into something useful. Here’s a great example of that in practice. The gorse we’ve cut is being relocated and repurposed as a temporary haul road for a client, providing a practical solution while reducing environmental impact. By doing this, we’re not only minimising waste but also supporting sustainable site management and responsible resource use. Whether it’s habitat restoration, tree surgery, or large-scale vegetation clearance, we always take a considered approach. Balancing efficiency with sustainability. #Sustainability #LandManagement #Recycling #EcoFriendly #KnightonCountrysideManagement #KnightonCountryside #CountrysideManagement

This time of the year is a great time to Hydroseed for two main reasons. • Erosion Control - Bare ground left after construction can be highly vulnerable to erosion during Winter and Spring. Hydroseeding provides a protective layer, preventing soil loss and reducing the risk of costly remedial work in spring. It also eliminates delays caused by waiting for the ground to become dry and workable for plant and machinery, ensuring projects stay on schedule. • Dormant Seeding Advantage - Dormant seeding allows grass to germinate as soon as conditions warm up, giving seedlings a head start on the growing season. This early establishment maximises natural soil moisture and improves resilience against dry, hot weather later in the year. These benefits complement the general advantages of Hydroseeding, such as weed suppression, uniform distribution (avoiding bare patches), moisture retention and enhanced coverage. Whether you need a basic application for dormant seeding or advanced certified erosion control, we tailor our mulch application type and rate to suit your needs.
