1. Erosion Control and Shoreline Stabilization

Erosion can threaten the integrity of your shoreline, leading to loss of land and potential damage to your property. Our erosion control and shoreline stabilization services are designed to safeguard your property from these natural forces. We employ a variety of techniques to protect and stabilize your shoreline:


  • Seawalls and Riprap: We construct sturdy seawalls and strategically place riprap to defend against the impact of waves and prevent further shoreline erosion. These barriers are tailored to blend seamlessly with your natural landscape.



  • Living Shorelines: Utilizing natural materials such as plants, sand, and stone, we create living shorelines that not only stabilize your property but also enhance its ecological value. These solutions promote habitat for wildlife while providing robust protection against erosion.


  • Revetments and Gabions: These structures are designed to absorb and dissipate wave energy, offering long-term stability and protection to your shoreline. Our team ensures they are installed with precision to meet your property’s specific needs.

2. Beach Restoration and Nourishment

Beaches can suffer from erosion and degradation over time due to natural processes and human activities. Our beach restoration and nourishment services are aimed at rejuvenating and enhancing your beach area:


  • Sand Replenishment: We replenish eroded beaches with high-quality sand to restore their original contours and create a safe, inviting space for recreation. This process not only improves the aesthetic appeal but also increases the functional area of your beach.



  • Dune Restoration: Dunes are natural barriers that protect inland areas from storm surges and erosion. We rebuild and stabilize dunes using vegetation and sand, reinforcing your beach’s natural defenses and enhancing its beauty.


  • Beach Access Improvements: We design and construct access points, such as paths, walkways, and ramps, to ensure safe and convenient access to your beach. These improvements are designed to blend naturally with the environment while providing durable and accessible solutions.

3. Habitat Enhancement and Environmental Protection

A healthy shoreline ecosystem is crucial for maintaining the natural beauty and functionality of your property. Our habitat enhancement and environmental protection services focus on promoting biodiversity and protecting sensitive areas:


  • Wetland Creation and Restoration: Wetlands play a vital role in supporting diverse plant and animal life and in filtering water. We create and restore wetlands that contribute to the ecological health of your property, providing natural water filtration and flood control.


  • Vegetation Management: By planting and managing native vegetation, we enhance the stability of your shoreline and improve habitat quality for local wildlife. This approach helps in maintaining a balanced ecosystem that supports both flora and fauna.



  • Water Quality Improvement: We implement strategies to reduce runoff and prevent pollution, ensuring that the water quality of your beach and shoreline remains high. Our methods include installing natural filtration systems and managing stormwater effectively.
