Native Seed Mix

Swales are areas such as ditches, waterways and depressions that receive storm water runoff.  Our Infiltration Swale seed mix can enhance these areas by providing beauty and function. 

 

This mix combines both deep rooted plants and very dense fibrously rooting plants so that both the soil surface and deeper soils are protected from erosion. This root complex is also very efficient at moving water down into the soil and minimizing off-site flow.
