Shoreline Restoration & Protection

What do we do?

We offer comprehensive shoreline restoration and retaining wall services designed to protect property, control erosion, and enhance both waterfront and inland landscapes. Our team installs engineered solutions such as revetments, seawalls, and bio-engineered systems that preserve shoreline stability and withstand wave action while blending naturally with the environment. In addition to erosion control, we design and construct custom docks, beach steps, and boatlifts to increase accessibility and functionality along the water’s edge. Beyond waterfronts, we build high-quality retaining walls for inland applications, including sloped yards, structural support, and landscape definition. Using materials like natural stone, modular block systems, and reinforced earth, we engineer each wall to meet site-specific needs—ensuring long-lasting performance, effective drainage, and a visually appealing finish.

    Shoreline Revetments

    • Erosion Control: Stabilizes shorelines against wave action and water runoff.

    • Waterfront Slope Reinforcement: Supports embankments and steep grades near lakes, rivers, or oceans.

    • Property Protection: Preserves usable land by preventing soil loss and shoreline collapse.

    • Landscape Elevation & Access: Creates terraced levels for docks, patios, or scenic walkways near the water.
