Why are rivers and streams so important?
The waterway system in the UK is the lifeblood of the natural environment, providing habitat, protection and sustenance to wildlife. When it is looked after it will flourish and the wildlife will thrive; however, a flooded or badly managed lake, stream, river or canal can cause havoc on the surrounding environment. Don’t let it get to that stage. Give us a call and we can help you to care for it and maintain it in the future.
Aquatic Planting
One of our areas of expertise is aquatic planting. Over the years we have planted thousands of plants over thousands of meters of marginal banks. During this time we have developed the most effective and successful aquatic plant installation methods and devised the best ways of using wire as protection from vandals and all waterfowl species including large birds such as swans and geese. We also install protective wave booms if necessary to ensure the new aquatic plants roots receive minimal disturbance thereby allowing establishment.
Appropriate aquatic planting will hugely enhance any water body and heavily reduce/stop wave-caused bank-side soil erosion. The aquatic plants will increase fish carrying capacity and the natural water filtration process thereby improving the lakes water quality.
