It has become evident over the past several decades that most man-made shoreline structures do not work well as a permanent solution for erosion control. Not only do they lose structural integrity over time, they also contribute to degraded water quality and loss of habitat. Utilizing native vegetation and engineering bioengineering principles, we are able to install shorelines that create habitat for wildlife as well as reduce erosion. Additionally, native plants act as a buffer that can filter out excess fertilizers and pollutants that enter water systems from nearby lawns and impervious surfaces.
