COIROLOGY · SCIENCE & GROWING SERVICES
Growing media developed for green infrastructure.
Develop growing media for landscape products, green roofs and restoration. Match vegetation, water conditions and substrate depth to your practical site requirements.
01WILDFLOWER ESTABLISHMENT
Engineering substrates for successful wildflower establishment
Develop growing media for wildflower mats, meadows and low-input planting, matched to the target species and establishment conditions.
02SHALLOW ROOF PLANTING
Root-zone engineering where every millimetre matters
Develop formulations for shallow roof planting, considering substrate depth, weight constraints and exposure.
03PLANTED WATER-MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Substrates engineered for vegetation and water
Develop media for planted rain gardens, swales and drainage features exposed to changing water conditions.
04SLOPE AND RIVERBANK PLANTING
Biodegradable structure while vegetation establishes
Investigate coir-based growing media and planting structures that support vegetation establishment on slopes and riverbanks.
05SATURATED PLANTING ENVIRONMENTS
Engineering growing media for the land–water interface
Develop growing media and planting systems for marginal vegetation, wetlands and river restoration.
Biological amendments such as mycorrhiza are evaluated only where appropriate for the plant species and environmental conditions.

06HABITAT-FOCUSED VEGETATION
Substrate science supporting habitat establishment
Develop growing media for species-rich planting and habitat establishment, informed by target vegetation and site conditions.
The substrate itself does not generate or guarantee biodiversity net gain units.
Discuss This ApplicationDEVELOP IT.
Translate vegetation, depth, loading, water conditions and maintenance into substrate requirements. LandLab develops growing media; structural, hydraulic and ecological design require the relevant specialists.
Agree vegetation, site conditions and project constraints.
Select coir fractions and suitable components.
Assess agreed prototype properties and development observations.
Adjust the formulation using observations and findings.
Document the proposed formulation and agreed requirements.
DEVELOPMENT EVALUATION
Compare candidate materials against the application brief. Agree relevant checks such as water behaviour, saturated weight, settlement, nutrient release and material longevity.
Development findings guide formulation changes. A defined performance trial through TrialWorks is separately scoped within the agreed programme; trials are not automatically included.
Explore TrialWorks™Existing or agreed benchmark material.
A candidate blend developed for the site brief.
An alternative blend for the same requirements.
Conceptual comparison only. Plant illustrations do not represent measured results or a ranking of formulations.
Evaluate the reference and candidate blends using agreed methods and comparable conditions.
Review differences against the site brief. Record limitations and questions that need further investigation.
Adjust components or processing, document the revised candidate and agree whether further evaluation is needed.
YOUR DEVELOPMENT OUTPUT
Your Formulation Development Dossier records the brief, candidate blends, findings, limitations and proposed specification. A candidate is not production-approved; trial evidence applies only to its defined conditions. Manufacture requires a separate feasibility review and agreed acceptance checks.
Use analysis to inform development, commission growing trials when needed, and discuss manufacture once a suitable specification is agreed.
