Shoreline Protection Services

Rip Rap Installation

Large rocks placed along your shoreline to absorb wave energy and stop erosion.

Seawall Construction

Retaining walls along the waterline. Concrete, steel, or vinyl depending on the situation.

Seawall Repair

Existing seawall cracking, leaning, or failing? We repair and reinforce seawalls.

Erosion Assessment

Not sure what you need? We’ll come look at your shoreline and tell you what makes the most sense.

Why It Matters

You’re losing land

Every storm, every wake, every season — unprotected shoreline erodes a little more.

Property value drops

Eroded shorelines make properties harder to sell and lower appraisals.

Safety risk

Undercut banks are unstable. A protected shoreline is a safe shoreline.

Ameren may require it

Ameren may require shoreline stabilization as part of dock permitting.

Rip Rap or Seawall — Which Do You Need?

Rip Rap

The go-to for most residential properties. Effective, natural-looking, and typically less expensive than a seawall.

Seawall

Better for steep banks, heavy erosion, or limited space. Creates a defined edge and holds back more soil.

Many properties use a combination. Not sure? Call us and we’ll help you figure it out.

You May Qualify for Up to $2,000 Toward Rip Rap

The Lake of the Ozarks Watershed Alliance offers grants that help offset the cost of rip rap installation.
