Our team at Husky Property Maintenance understands that you care about your property, and we want to help you do what’s best for it. If your home or rental property is located on a lake (or other body of water), you will need to keep an eye on the shoreline. Many shorelines erode over time, which will gradually eat away at your yard and reduce your outdoor living space.
Fortunately, there’s a way to counter this process and protect your property from erosion—namely, shoreline restoration services. In this article, our team will provide a brief overview of what shoreline restoration involves and what its purpose is to help you take care of your waterfront property.
Why Shoreline Restoration May Be Necessary
The first thing you should know about shoreline restoration is that there are several reasons you might require these services. Erosion of your shoreline can be caused by a variety of factors, such as the waves from boat wake or the shade from a tree killing the plants underneath and weakening the root systems that hold the soil in place.
What Shoreline Restoration Entails
Depending on the root cause of your erosion problem and the severity of the issue, shoreline restoration can take many different forms. For intense cases of erosion, our team may need to install stones along the edge of the water to stabilize the shoreline. On the other hand, for our tree example above, shoreline restoration would likely involve cutting down the offending tree and re-seeding the area with plants with deep roots.
