Habitat and Wetland Creation
We design and create habitats and wetlands across Battle, East Sussex and the wider South East — from leaky woody dams, scrapes and shallow pools to swales, flow attenuation features, watercourse restoration, silt and sediment management, habitat enhancement, pond creation and restoration, and weir and flow-control construction. As specialist habitat and wetland contractors, we combine heavy plant and excavation expertise with a genuine understanding of wetland ecology and natural flood management, creating thriving wildlife habitats that support aquatic plants, amphibians, birds and local biodiversity while attenuating flow and improving water quality. Whether you need a leaky woody dam system on a stream near Battle, a scrape and shallow pool complex on an estate in Hailsham, a vegetated swale for a development site in Eastbourne, or a degraded watercourse restored into a functioning wildlife habitat in the South Downs, our own plant and experienced team deliver durable, ecologically sensitive results.

Habitat and Wetland Creation in Kent & East Sussex
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build leaky woody dams for natural flood management?
Yes. We construct leaky woody dams and woody debris dams to slow water flow, trap sediment and create wetland habitat in streams and ditches — a natural flood management technique used across Kent and East Sussex to attenuate flow and reduce downstream flooding.
Can you create scrapes and shallow pools for wildlife?
Yes. We construct field scrapes, shallow pools and seasonal winter ponds that hold water temporarily, supporting wading birds, amphibians and wetland plants across Kent and East Sussex.
Do you build swales for surface water management?
Yes. We excavate vegetated swales and linear drainage swales to attenuate and filter surface water runoff on rural, agricultural and development land across the South East.
What is flow attenuation and can you provide it?
Flow attenuation uses features like leaky woody dams, swales, attenuation basins and online storage to slow runoff and release water gradually, reducing downstream flooding. We design and build flow attenuation features across Kent and East Sussex.
Do you carry out watercourse restoration?
Yes. We carry out watercourse restoration including channel reprofiling, re-meandering and rehabilitation of straightened or degraded streams and ditches across the South East.
Can you manage silt and sediment in ditches and watercourses?
Yes. We provide silt and sediment management, desilting, sediment removal and dredging to restore flow capacity and water depth in ditches, streams, ponds and lakes across Kent and East Sussex.
Do you build and repair weirs in Kent and East Sussex?
Yes, we construct, repair and rebuild weirs for streams, rivers and watercourses across Battle, East Sussex and the wider South East.
Can you install culverts?
Yes, we install, replace and repair culverts for roads, tracks, ditches and watercourses throughout Kent and East Sussex.
Do you carry out riverbank stabilisation?
Yes, we stabilise and reinforce riverbanks suffering from erosion, undercutting or collapse on rural and estate land across the South East.
Can you dredge drainage ditches and watercourses?
Yes, we carry out drainage ditch dredging, clearance and reshaping to restore flow and capacity across Kent and East Sussex.
Do you do flood prevention work?
Yes, we carry out flood prevention and flood alleviation works including channel widening, bank raising, spillway construction and flow management.
