Gardening for Wildlife with Green Roofs and Floral Meadows

Q Lawns point out that their Meadowmat wild flower matting and Enviromat Sedum Matting is a relatively lightweight solution to creating a living green roof on garden buildings and domestic roofs.

Comprising seven species of drought tolerant sedums growing on a patented matting system, Enviromat creates a wonderful habitat for invertebrates and with its long flowering period, helps support beneficial insects like butterflies and bees.

Enviromat is easily installed by a competent DIYer or, for those not able to work at heights, Q Lawns offers a green roof installation service.

Meadowmat Wild Flower Matting removes the stress out of establishing a wild flower meadow in the garden. 34 species of native grasses and flowering plants are established on a matting system that's unrolled onto prepared ground to create a dense sward of mixed plants.

Depending on the time of year, Meadowmat may be in flower just weeks after installation, providing a rich source of nectar and a great hiding place for invertebrates, small mammals and amphibians.


Meadowmat maintenance is simple and cost-effective. Once established, the plants need minimal attention for six months of the year and only the occasional trim between October and April for neatness.
