Watercourse Management

As the owner of land that contains or borders a watercourse, you have certain responsibilities to maintain those watercourses in a way that lets water flow naturally.

You may have to carry out dredging to remove silt, blockages, fallen trees or overhanging branches from your watercourse. You may also need to cut back trees and shrubs on the bank if they could reduce the water flow or cause flooding to other landowners’ property. Be aware that you may have to pay damages if this happens through your failure to maintain free-flowing water.

We can help you maintain healthy land and borders, keeping ditches and dykes clear with our land and forestry maintenance service.

We offer a comprehensive range of ditch and watercourse maintenance services with our skilled, experienced workforce and use of specialist equipment.
