Planning waterway planting?

Practical guidance to help you get the basics right before planting begins.


Our free Practical Guide to Waterway Planting covers the key decisions that make the biggest difference to long-term success, from fencing and access through to plant selection, site preparation and maintenance.

Waterway planting can help stabilise banks, slow runoff, trap sediment and create better habitat over time. The key is matching the planting to the conditions on your site and planning for maintenance from the start.

Inside the guide

  • How wide to plant

  • What to plant in wet, damp and drier zones

  • Fencing and access

  • Weed control and site preparation

  • Planting timing and technique

Planning for next year?

If you’re considering planting another area in 2027, now is the time to start planning. We can meet you on farm to assess the site, discuss your goals and identify the summer weed control and site preparation required before planting.

Planning early gives us time to scope your project properly and secure your plants and planting programme for 2027.
