Shoreline Erosion Repair Vendor Partners
Erosion is a natural process that can be worsened by human activities. Lakes and ponds experiencing shoreline erosion often face issues such as poor water quality, loss of habitat, nutrient overload, and reduced storage capacity and depth. Additionally, shoreline erosion can lead to decreased property values and create safety hazards for the surrounding area.
To minimize erosion damage, it is recommended to establish a vegetative buffer along the perimeter of your waterbody. However, even with these proactive measures, your shoreline may still experience erosion. Regardless of your shoreline’s current state, bioengineered shoreline technologies can help rebuild and stabilize the bank effectively.

Why It's Important to Address Shoreline Erosion
It’s crucial to address signs of erosion before they worsen. If shoreline erosion is not addressed, your lake, stormwater pond, or canal may experience native vegetation and habitat loss, nutrient loading, excess runoff, and other complications that accelerate the rate at which your waterbody loses depth and volume.
Shoreline erosion can be a significant concern for homeowners’ associations, golf courses, municipalities, and other properties in our communities. The loss of land due to erosion can result in decreased property values and safety hazards that pose liability risks. Additionally, erosion can damage surrounding infrastructure, such as home foundations, pools, irrigation systems, and stormwater management structures.
What is a bioengineered living shoreline?
Traditional erosion control methods include “hard armoring” options such as bulkheads and riprap, as well as techniques like regrading and the use of coir logs. In recent years, bioengineered living shorelines have emerged as an innovative and preferred solution for addressing shoreline erosion in lakes and ponds.
Bioengineered living shorelines utilize a “soft armoring” system that incorporates technical mesh to reshape and restore eroded banks. This system is filled with locally sourced organic material or sediment from the lake or pond. Once installed, it is securely anchored to the stable portion of the shoreline and can be covered with sod, planted with native beneficial buffer plants, or seeded through the mesh and fabric layers. These systems become integrated with the existing shoreline, providing long-lasting stabilization.
Which erosion repair tool is best for your lake?
Choosing the appropriate erosion control technology for your lake or pond depends on your aesthetic goals, the extent of erosion damage to repair, your desired outcome regarding land recovery, timeline, and budget.
