Sustainable Vegetation Starts With The Seed
All Vegetator® seed mix varieties are carefully selected to allow your site to maintain an ecological balance. Most projects are doomed from the start due to poor seed selection. The Vegetator® contains a small and appropriate percentage of seasonal annuals which germinate quickly and stabilize the site. Next the cool season and warm season perennials will thrive creating a permanent vegetative cover. Finally the deep rooted native species and legumes will establish and create an ecosystem which will stand the test of time without the continued need of site maintenance and fertilizations.
