Erosion Control

Effective Erosion Control Solutions 

Protect your cabin or lakefront property with our effective erosion control services and solutions. We know your waterfront property is more than land. It is your home or your personal retreat. But we also know that properties near the water are constantly at risk, battling the elements day after day. From wave action to heavy rainfall, your shoreline is vulnerable to damage that can lead to significant soil loss and property degradation.

We make shoreline restoration and preservation possible. Our trained professionals assess your property conditions to recommend the best way to repair current problems and prevent future issues. Whether you are dealing with minor runoff or severe shoreline recession, we deliver solutions that keep your lakefront stable, beautiful, and secure for years to come.

Rip Rap

One of the most effective ways to stabilize a shoreline is with rip rap, or rock armor. We carefully install high-quality rock barriers to create a durable buffer that absorbs wave energy, prevents soil displacement, and guards your land against the effects of ice buildup and shifting water levels.

Natural Planting Buffers

For a healthy shoreline, we design and install natural planting buffers tailored specifically to your property. By analyzing soil types and existing drainage patterns, we select and install native plants that thrive in your environment. These deep-rooted plants act as a natural anchor, binding the soil together while filtering runoff before it enters the water.

Erosion Control Blankets

In areas where soil is exposed or prone to washout, we use erosion control blankets to hold soil in place and protect it from the elements. These specialized blankets allow new seeds and vegetation to germinate and take root. They also establish a permanent, self-sustaining defense against erosion.

Drainage Systems

Uncontrolled water runoff creates gullies and destabilizes the ground, leading to shoreline degradation. We design and install custom drainage systems to capture and safely divert water from your shoreline, ensuring your property remains intact even during heavy storms.

Terracing

Our terracing solutions transform steep, unstable banks into functional, tiered landscapes. By stepping the terrain, we reduce the effects of water runoff and provide a level structure that turns a vulnerable slope into a practical space.
