Erosion Control

H. R. Ramsey Construction can help you control erosion of your valuable lakeside property.  Left unattended, you may find your shoreline getting closer and closer, perhaps closer than you had in mind.

A shoreline erosion problem can quickly become more than unsightly, it can cause you to lose valuable land.  Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to prevent your property from further loss.

Use of rock riprap is a common type of erosion control project.  It begins with the placement of filter cloth on the shoreline, followed by rock of at least 12" in diameter.  This combination provides excellent protection against eroding wave action.  We can help assess whether shoreline needs to be recontoured prior to placement of any protection to insure that the slope is satisfactory to retain the material.

If you are considering taking some steps to protect your shoreline from erosion, contact H. R. Ramsey Construction today to discuss the project.  We work closely with the Army Corp of Engineers and we understand approved and preferred methods of erosion control.  We can help you get your project approved and implemented.
