Clover / Low-Mow Lawn
A diverse, drought-resilient lawn of clover, low herbs and fine grasses — greener in summer, needs far less mowing, feeding and watering than amenity turf, and supports pollinators. A simple upgrade on a conventional lawn.
Carbon and evidence
Carbon Sink & Ecosystem Services
A living landscape element — a carbon sink and provider of ecosystem services, not a manufactured product. Its value is measured by sequestration and biodiversity, not embodied carbon, and it must never be netted against a product’s A1–A3.
Carbon Sequestration
Not sequestration-led
The primary value here is biodiversity and/or water function, not carbon storage.
Biodiversity Net Gain
more diverse and higher-value than amenity grass; nitrogen-fixing clover
Source: Defra Biodiversity Metric 4.0
England requires a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain; distinctiveness is one input to the habitat unit calculation.
Ecosystem Services
Establishment & Maintenance
low input to establish and to run — a lower operational-carbon alternative to amenity turf
