Willow Faggots (Fascines)

Salix harvest and produce a range of Brushwood Faggots (Fascines) for use in river stabilisation or enhancement projects. We use brushwood from sustainable sources and can supply various timber types including Ash, Hazel, Chestnut or Willow (alive or dead).

We incorporate brushwood materials into many of our bioengineering projects in both freshwater and brackish intertidal applications. Brushwood mattresses are comprised of layers of faggots held by a grid of fixing posts and are very effective a trapping fine sediment. As such, Brushwood Mattresses are often used in inter-tidal or estuarine rivers (see our projects examples).

Faggots are often used in conjunction with Coir Rolls to provide a toe support in deeper water. Faggots are available in a standard size of 2m by 0.3m diameter, but can also be made to order in other sizes.
