Our team combines horticultural expertise, engineering knowledge, and construction site experience to deliver reliable vegetation establishment on challenging projects.

We operate specialist equipment including six hydroseeders (from 6000L lorry-mounted units to compact 2500L towed machines), direct seeding drills, seedbed preparation tractors, and a custom-built brush seed harvester for local-provenance wildflower collection.

Based in Cheshire, CDTS North & West provides hydroseeding and ecological seeding services across the UK, with particular strength across the North West, North Wales, West Midlands and surrounding regions.

Much of our work comes from repeat business and referrals—evidence of long-term relationships built on technical delivery, programme reliability, and compliance with client standards.
