Conventional Seeding Projects

At Alec Hunter Academy, conventional seeding was carried out around a newly installed 3G pitch to establish a high-quality surrounding landscape. Using a pedestrian drill enabled us to achieve a precise and even application, particularly in tighter and more difficult-to-access areas where larger machinery would not be suitable. The result was a clean, consistent finish that complements the new sports facility and ensures strong, even grass establishment.

This residential garden project at Little Waltham involved a thoughtful combination of grass and wildflower seeding to create a natural, low-maintenance outdoor space. A carefully selected grass mix was used to provide durability and ease of upkeep, while also allowing for the future introduction of wildflowers. This flexible approach ensures the garden can evolve over time, supporting both visual appeal and biodiversity.

As part of the development of the new Cambridge South Station, conventional seeding was undertaken across key areas of the site to establish a robust and environmentally considerate landscape. A mix of tussock grasses and wildflower meadow species was used, helping to create a visually attractive setting while also promoting biodiversity. The project required careful planning and execution to meet both aesthetic and ecological objectives.

At the new Sudbury Garden Centre, a combined seeding approach was used to suit the varying terrain across the site. Conventional seeding was applied to flatter areas to achieve a smooth, uniform finish, while hydroseeding was utilised on more complex features such as swales, attenuation basins, bunds, and areas to the rear of the building. All areas were seeded with a durable lawn mix, ensuring consistent growth and a cohesive appearance across the development.

The new and upgraded A1 & A14 J20 -J33 

Having worked on a vast number of highways schemes in the past as CDTS LTD this particular contract fell practically on our own front doorstep. The improved 21-mile section is a vital link on the A14 and A1 which connects the East coast to the Midlands and was completed over three years including the many landscaped ecological off-site areas which make up this vast scheme. 

A344 and Stonehenge Visitors Centre

Stonehenge was a standout project for us  and a project our staff took particular pride in being part of, not to  mention it being amongst many other historical sites across the country CDTS  have worked on over the last few years. Hydroseeding, stone clearance,  cultivation, soil prep and seeding works were undertaken as part of  reinstatement to the old A344 as well as the landscaping around the new  visitor’s centre at the famous English and UNESCO world heritage site  Stonehenge.

Cobbins Brook Flood Alleviation Project

Cobbins Brook flood storage reservoir was the preferred option for a flood alleviation scheme to reduce the risk of flooding to the town of Waltham Abbey, Essex. CDTS were tasked with the preparation and sowing of a diverse and native sward of wildflowers around the new flood storage and spillway areas creating a large area of habitat for mammals, insects and invertebrates.
