There are many benefits of owning a waterfront property, but there are also forms of maintenance that other property owners don’t have to worry about. Erosion is a problem that faces every waterfront property owner. Left unchecked, erosion can wash away the shoreline of your property. Depending on how close your home is to the shoreline, this erosion can gradually affect your home’s foundation and overall structural integrity.
If you’ve recently purchased a waterfront property, there are some important waterfront restoration techniques to look into to protect your waterfront property from problems such as erosion. One of the simplest forms of waterfront restoration is planting vegetation. Different types of vegetation will naturally help protect against erosion. Planting grasses and trees that will grow well around your waterfront property is a great idea, though trees take longer to establish strong roots and will require nearby grass to help them take root.
Other forms of waterfront restoration require a professional team to perform some landscaping techniques. For example, retaining walls and grading systems will help modify your waterfront to prevent erosion issues. These waterfront restoration techniques are more intensive than planting vegetation and require more experience and skills to perform properly, so you should leave them to the professionals rather than build them on your own.
