The way your shoreline meets the water is the starting point for the assessment.

What you see

Mark the areas where you have noticed soil loss or a receding edge.

When it changed

Describe when the changes became noticeable and what you have observed since.

What surrounds it

Include nearby landscaping, docks, seawalls, and access routes in your photos.

Methods we can discuss

Let the conditions
guide the approach.

There is no useful shortcut around understanding the site.

Our erosion control offering includes several approaches. The proposed work depends on your shoreline and the assessment.

Discuss your shoreline
Riprap

Rock placement is one of the shoreline protection methods we offer. We can discuss whether it belongs in the proposed work after reviewing the property.

Geotextile stabilization

Engineered fabrics are among the materials used in our shoreline stabilization offering. Their role is considered as part of the site plan.

Vegetative buffers

Vegetation is another approach listed in our erosion control services. Site conditions and project requirements inform the discussion.

Reinforced seawalls

Existing shoreline structures may be part of the conversation. Share photos and information about any seawall or bulkhead.

Before the first conversation

Show us the changes.
Let’s look closer.

A simple record of your observations gives the first conversation context.

A few things to bring

Gather what you can. We can talk through the rest.

Questions about your project

Which erosion control method is right for my property?

That depends on the shoreline conditions and site assessment. We can discuss the available approaches after reviewing the property and your concerns.

What should I document before the consultation?

Share recent photos, areas of soil loss or exposed roots, and when you noticed the changes. Include any known drainage concerns.

Should my photos include docks and seawalls?

Yes. Views showing existing structures, landscaping, and access routes provide useful context for discussing the affected shoreline.
