In the winter of 2023, we were contacted by a client that was concerned by erosion of the riverbank in their garden. The river got within 5m from the house, and the owners were getting worried.
Firstly we had to apply for Land Drainage Consent from Devon County Council to allow us to work in the watercourse. This was granted at the end of April, and we got started on site at the end of May.
Access was granted by the local farmer for our excavator to track across the field to access the garden. As the weather had been dry for a few weeks, the excavator could track to the garden without causing a lot of mess in the field and on the lawn.
