Nanotern Landscaping – Water Retention Granules for Soil, Turf & Planting
Nanotern Landscaping – Water Retention Granules for Soil, Turf & Planting
Nanotern Landscaping is a professional-grade superabsorbent polymer and water retention granule for soil, turf, and planting schemes. Designed for the UK's unpredictable climate, it absorbs up to 1800x its own weight in water — reducing irrigation needs by up to 50% while keeping roots consistently hydrated.
It absorbs excess water during periods of heavy rainfall and gradually releases it back into the soil during drier periods, helping to reduce waterlogging, improve root development, and maintain consistent soil moisture.
Ideal for lawns, turf, parks, and planting schemes, Nanotern Landscaping helps create stronger, more resilient landscapes with reduced watering requirements and improved overall soil performance.

Built for Wet and Unpredictable Weather
Unlike traditional water-retention products designed only for drought, Nanotern works in both:
- Heavy rainfall → absorbs excess water
- Dry periods → releases stored moisture
This creates a balanced soil environment, reducing stress on plants and roots.
Nanotern delivers measurable performance where it matters most. It can reduce water usage by up to 50% while supporting up to 25% increase in crop yield through improved moisture and nutrient availability. With a swelling capacity of up to 1800x its own weight, Nanotern creates a dynamic underground water reserve that expands and contracts within the soil, improving aeration and root zone structure.
It retains moisture for extended periods, helping stabilise soil conditions in both wet and dry environments. Its enhanced structural stability provides strong performance in the soil, supporting long-lasting and consistent results over time. Fully biodegradable and environmentally safe, Nanotern supports more efficient, resilient, and balanced growing systems.

Easy Application
Nanotern can be mixed directly into soil, sand, or planting substrates, or applied as a base layer before turfing or planting. It integrates easily into standard landscaping practices and requires no specialised equipment.
Improved Lawn and Turf Establishment
By forming a water-retaining gel within the soil, Nanotern supports seed germination and early root development. It helps maintain consistent moisture levels, improving establishment in both wet and dry periods.
Ideal for Roof Gardens and Urban Spaces
Its lightweight structure makes it suitable for green roofs and urban landscaping projects where weight and drainage are key considerations. It helps retain moisture while preventing rapid drying between rainfall events.
Supports Low-Soil and Engineered Systems
Nanotern performs effectively in low-soil or engineered substrates, making it ideal for raised beds, planters, vertical gardens, and built environments.
Reduces Watering and Maintenance Costs
By absorbing excess water and releasing it gradually, Nanotern helps regulate soil moisture, reduce runoff, and lower irrigation and maintenance requirements over time.
