Shoreline habitat development & shoreline erosion control with no excavation and no heavy equipment on the bank.

Lake Rip Rap, Inc. is the leader in affordable shoreline enhancement and restoration on inland lakes using unique transportable boats, and has successfully stabilized 150,000 lineal feet of shoreline with structural toe protection and naturally colonized or bio-engineered shoreline habitats on 30 mid-western lakes.

Naturally colonized shoreline habitat.

"Setting the Stage for a natural shoreline healing".

PREMISE:

“Dissipate most of the wave energy, most of time and nature will heal the eroding shoreline”. Build the specially designed rock toe, then stop… natural slope reduction & the existing seed bank will finish the job.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS:

Shoreline erosion, shoreline retreat and excessive sedimentation due to shoreline erosion are stopped instantly.

LONG TERM RESULTS:

Shoreline habitat - the plant species, best suited to the existing conditions, will naturally colonize the shoreline. Once established, the shoreline habitats have been rapidly colonized by diverse forms of wildlife.
