Riverbank Erosion

Using 'bio-engineering' and 'soft landscaping', riverbank erosion repairs can be undertaken leaving a natural appearance which blends into the surroundings and becomes almost invisible.  Incorporating sustainably produced Willow and native plant species a natural environment can be maintained.  Such methods are very much in line with the current strategies of the agri-environment schemes and the policies of environmental organisations such as SEPA and Natural England.

  

• Additional Options

The planting of grasses, shrubs and trees, according to location to anchor soils, prevent erosion and bolster Willow spiling work.

In situations involving extreme flows, where bio-engineering by itself would not work, perhaps in proximity to other civil engineering structures such as bridges, it may be necessary to incorporate gabions and other engineered structures.  These structures can however, be softened by the inclusion of strategic planting and the use of Wiilow to root into soil zones thus adding root stability to potentially soft soils.  Willow spiling may also compliment such had engineering structures.

Cheviot Trees offers a full supply and construction service, as well as supply only of Willow for own installation.  All pricing is job specific, so please contact us for a quote.
