Even gentle waves lapping at the banks of your pond or stream can erode the shoreline, silt up the water, and carry away your land. Rip-rap stone or turf grass might seem like solutions, but water will undercut these ineffective barriers. Stone and non-native grasses also can’t prevent chemical run-off from polluting the water and causing unsightly algal blooms.

We restore the integrity and beauty of your shoreline by establishing a stable, diverse community of native plants, whose deep, fibrous roots can resist erosion and absorb chemical run-off. After nurturing the young native plants for the first few critical years, we provide ongoing, essential stewardship, reducing the long-term cost to well below that of combating continued erosion.
