Urban Development
HYDROCELL PROVIDES A LANDSCAPE THAT FLOURISHES QUICKER
WITH LESS WATER USE AND MAINTENANCE COSTS.
Urban Developers create Entrance Statements, boulevards and streetscapes and invest much in landscaping. When Hydrocell is incorporated in to the first 100mm of the top soil a better result can be seen quicker and money can be saved.
Hydrocell can be supplied in 1000lt Bulka Bags and mixed on-site into in-situ soils or supplied as premixed top soils. Hydrocell is ideal for advanced tree planting, garden bed establishment and turf establishment.
