An undeveloped shoreline is subject to erosion, which could potentially eat away inches or possibly feet of usable land every year. In addition, it is unattractive, and can be dangerous.

A properly stabilized and developed waterfront will stop the erosion and add beauty and value to your property.

There are several options for installation of a shoreline stabilization structure. Several factors that exist at your property will, in large part, determine the best method to use. These factors include type of soils, ice, wind, and wave action, and your budget and preferences.

 Steel, Vinyl, Concrete, Timber, and Rip Rap

Steel

In many instances, a steel sheet pile seawall is the most feasible solution for the effects of waves and ice at your shoreline. Steel seawalls have a very good lifespan, ensuring that you and even your children will enjoy a maintenance-free shoreline for many years.

  Vinyl

A vinyl sheet pile seawall is an excellent choice for areas where the river or water bottom is soft, and there is minimal ice action in the winter. A vinyl seawall is long-lasting, and maintenance-free.

Concrete

A concrete seawall is appropriate where there is heavy ice and wave action. Our concrete walls are designed with the proper calculations for the balance of passive and active pressures that will affect the wall from season to season.

Timber

A timber seawall is attractive and effective. It blends well with many architectural types of houses.

Rip Rap

Rip rap, sometimes called a stone shoreline, is a cost-effective way to protect your shoreline from erosion. We grade your shoreline and line it with filter fabric. Different sized stones are used, depending on the exposure of the shoreline to ice and wave action. Many of these rip rap shorelines are finished at the top with a continuous timber border. This border makes an attractive edge between the lawn and the stone.
