To prevent undercutting to one of the only natural stretches of the Thames between Richmond and Kew we set about styling the river bank which is a cheap traditional way to prevent erosion
Willow steaks set in the ground are woven around using smaller branches creating a small wall around the riverbank which retains the silt the river deposits when high. The willow stakes can take root due to the voracious nature of the plant which when coupled with the retaining wall all adds to protect against erosion
