Light Civils - The DTMS Group

Gabion Baskets

The use of gabion baskets has become a popular method of retaining land on different levels as an alternative to solid brick or concrete. The advantage is that the baskets can be formed into many shapes and sizes to suit specific requirements, filled with various aggregates to match the project . Naturally permeable, they allow water to migrate through avoiding water build up.

Pond Excavation

We have extensive experience in the excavation of ponds for both domestic and commercial clients. These can be clay lined or fitted with a butyl liner depending on the size and application. Desilting is also a service we offer as older ponds tend to amass large amounts of debris over time affecting pond depths and water quality. Re establishing aquatic and marginal plants after such works is a service we can also provide, suggesting suitable species suitable for the location.
