Brushwood Faggots

Brushwood Faggots

Our Brushwood Faggots are for use in rivers, canals and lakes to trap sediment and protect the tow of the riverbanks.

We use brushwood from sustainable sources.

Faggots/mattresses can be constructed from living or dead material and we supply our brushwood materials for many projects.

Brushwood faggots/mattresses are comprised of layers of faggots held by a grid of fixing posts and are very effective at trapping fine sediment. As such, brushwood faggots/mattresses are often used in inter-tidal or estuarine rivers.

Kindly note, depending on the season, our Brushwood Faggots will either be from a winter cut or summer cut. To confirm, predominantly the summer cut will still have leaves on, with the species typically being a mix of chestnut and birch.
