How Natural Solutions Reduce Flood Risk
We can use natural solutions when it comes to flood protection, as they play a role in reducing the risk of flooding by improving the landscape's ability to manage and absorb water.
Wetland restoration, woodland planting, and soil management help improve drainage through the ground, slow water flow, and lessen the amount of surface runoff.
These methods allow for trees and vegetation to act as a natural barrier, stabilising the soil and preventing erosion. Other wetlands store excess water and reduce the effects of heavy rainfall.
Flood Management Services
Our professional tree surgeon has the skills to assess flood risks and protect the land from any severe water damage. He'll include natural techniques like wetland restoration, tree planting, and soil stabilisation.
The duration of flood management projects depends on various factors like the complexity of the work, the size of the area, and the current environmental conditions.
Smaller jobs, like drainage improvements and localise tree planting, can take a few weeks, whereas wetland creation or large-scale landscape restoration can take many months or even longer.

Sustainable Land Management for Flood Prevention
More sustainable land management focuses on adapting the natural landscape in a manner that helps it control and absorb water effectively. Techniques like wetland restoration, soil improvement, and tree planting, reduce runoff, slow water flow, and increase natural drainage.
To direct excess water away from more vulnerable or structurally weaker areas, we use contour ploughing, rewilding, and buffer strips to maintain soil stability.
Our tree surgeon can help enhance vegetation cover and restore natural floodplains, and in doing so, land becomes more resilient to extreme weather events and heavy rainfall.
