Our Accreditations...
Green Care Solutions provides specialist slope stabilisation and land protection services throughout the UK, helping vulnerable sites prevent soil loss, sediment runoff, and slope failure. Based in Nottingham and operating nationwide, we deliver proven solutions for erosion control on challenging terrain, including steep embankments, highway slopes, SUDS basins, brownfield sites, and waterway restoration projects.
Our expertise combines advanced hydroseeding techniques with specialist Flexible Growth Medium (FGM) and Engineered Fibre Matrix (EFM) products from Profile Products. As certified installers of Flexterra HP-FGM and ProMatrix, we achieve up to 99% effectiveness in preventing soil loss – significantly outperforming traditional blankets and conventional seeding methods.
Whether you're managing infrastructure projects, land restoration schemes, or environmental compliance requirements, our solutions provide immediate soil stabilisation, rapid vegetation establishment, and long-term slope protection across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and throughout the United Kingdom.
Why Professional Slope Stabilisation Matters
Complete Service: Green Care Solutions -
turnkey project delivery with Profile Products certified installation -
from site assessment through to vegetation establishment.
Environmental Protection
Uncontrolled soil loss causes significant environmental damage:
- Sediment pollution entering watercourses and drainage systems
- Degradation of aquatic habitats and water quality
- Increased flood risk through blocked drainage systems
- Loss of topsoil from construction sites, highways, and disturbed land
Regulatory Compliance
Construction and infrastructure projects face strict environmental regulations:
- Environment Agency requirements for sediment control
- Environment Agency requirements for sediment control — see official guidance
- Planning conditions for soil protection
- SUDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) compliance
- Site Environmental Management Plans (SEMP)
Financial Risk
Poor soil stabilisation leads to:
- Project delays and contract penalties
- Costly emergency remediation works
- Potential prosecution for pollution incidents
- Damage to infrastructure and adjacent land

Our Service Approach
Green Care Solutions provides complete erosion control project delivery - from initial site assessment through to installation and monitoring. We don't sell products; we deliver solutions.
Step 1: Site Assessment & Method Selection
Our certified team evaluates your site conditions, slope angles, soil type, and erosion risk to recommend the optimal solution:
Available Erosion Control Methods:
1. Hydraulic Application (Hydroseeding-Based)
Our Primary Method - Profile Products Certified
- Flexterra HP-FGM: Up to 99% erosion control effectiveness, slopes up to 45° and steeper
- ProMatrix EFM: Extreme erosion control for slopes up to 1H:1V, rocky substrates
- ProGanics Biotic Soil Media: Soil building for degraded sites
Best For: Steep slopes, large areas, difficult access sites, highway embankments
Advantages: Fast installation, lower cost than blankets, better slope performance
2. Combination Systems
We Install (Products Supplied by Specialist Manufacturers)
- TRM + Hydromulch: Turf Reinforcement Matting hydraulically infilled with erosion control mulch
- Permanent Protection: 100+ year lifespan, double barrier against erosion
- High Velocity Protection: Extreme wind and water flow resistance
Best For: Critical infrastructure, high erosion risk sites, permanent protection required
When We Recommend: Regulatory requirements, extreme conditions, budget allows
3. Blankets & Matting (Partner Network)
Specialist Installation Through Trusted Partners
- Coir Matting: Natural coconut fiber blankets for moderate slopes
- Jute Netting: Biodegradable erosion control for low-risk sites
- Geotextiles: Synthetic erosion control fabrics where required
Best For: Flat to moderate slopes, smaller areas, budget constraints
Our Role: Site assessment, specification, partner coordination, quality assurance
Note: For these traditional methods, we can connect you with specialist suppliers like Green-tech or AWE Environmental Services. However, our hydraulic erosion control solutions typically outperform blankets at lower cost.
Step 2: Professional Installation
Our Profile Products certified team delivers complete erosion control installation:
- Site preparation & risk mitigation
- Professional hydraulic application
- Quality control & documentation
- Regulatory compliance support
Step 3: Monitoring & Warranty
Post-installation support to ensure long-term erosion protection:
- Establishment monitoring
- Maintenance recommendations
- Performance verification
- Project documentation for regulatory compliance

Our Process
Site Assessment & Risk Analysis
Our team evaluates slope angles, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and erosion risk factors. We identify critical areas requiring immediate protection and design site-specific erosion control specifications.
Method Selection & Site-Specific Specification
Based on site assessment, we design the optimal erosion control approach
for your project. Our Profile Products certified team recommends:
- Standard hydroseeding for moderate slopes and lower risk sites
- Flexterra HP-FGM for steep slopes and challenging terrain
- ProMatrix EFM for extreme erosion risk and critical infrastructure
- Combination approaches for complex projects
Surface Preparation (if required)
Minimal preparation is required for most sites. We may need to:
- Remove loose debris and unsuitable material
- Repair major erosion gullies or rills
- Install drainage if required
- Address critical failure areas
Hydraulic Application
We apply the erosion control mixture using specialist hydroseeding equipment:
- High-pressure spray application ensures even coverage
- Immediate bonding to soil surface
- Can reach difficult-access areas and steep slopes
- Large-scale coverage (thousands of square metres per day)
Vegetation Establishment
The erosion control mulch protects the site while vegetation establishes:
- Germination begins within 7-14 days
- Root development anchors soil and prevents erosion
- Full grass coverage typically achieved in 4-8 weeks
- Long-term erosion protection through permanent vegetation
Inspection & Aftercare
We provide:
- Post-application site inspection
- Monitoring advice during establishment
- Recommendations for irrigation (if required)
- First maintenance guidance
Methods Compared
Hydroseeding vs Erosion Control Blankets
| Factor | Hydroseeding (Flexterra) | Erosion Control Blankets |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Speed | Fast (1000s m²/day) | Slow (labour intensive) |
| Slope Angle Capability | Up to 60°+ | Limited on steep slopes |
| Cost | 40-60% less | Expensive |
| Surface Preparation | Minimal | Significant |
| Erosion Control | Up to 99% effective | Variable (60-85%) |
| Environmental | 100% biodegradable | Plastic netting concerns |
| Accessibility | Reaches difficult areas | Requires access |
| Longevity | 18-24 months | 12-18 months |
Advantages of Hydroseeding:
- Faster installation with less labour
- Lower installed cost per square metre
- Better performance on steep slopes
- No nettings or staples to endanger wildlife
- Can access areas impossible for blanket installation
When blankets might be preferred:
- Very short timeframe requirements
- Extreme slope angles (over 1:1) in critical locations
- Regulatory specification requirements
