Custom Native Seed Collection:
Restoration projects often require the use of
seed that can be verified as local genotype seed. Sunmark Seeds can collect, clean, grow out and installnativeplantsforproject-specificsites. Forall seed collected, we provide the cleaning process to remove inert material and contaminants, to produce a purer, more productive seed lot.
Custom seed collection is an option for restoration projects interested in preserving species native
to the specific location. Seed collection can be on-going for revegetation efforts or in advance of construction. The best results are produced when appropriate time is allocated to gather a broad range of species seed.
CONTRACTED DESIGN
Projects that require a high degree of stabilization and instant vegetation should consider using native sod. Sunmark can design the seed mix, and grow it out in an engineered soil with a lightweight core. Whentheseedgerminatesandgrows,it forms a root mass through the core, that can be easilypickedupandinstalledonsite. Callfor details!
