HOW CROSSCREEK ENVIRONMENTAL CAN HELP PROTECT YOUR SHORELINE?
If you have a lake or pond on your property, you will want to do all you can to ensure that the shoreline is not eroding. While calm water banks do not erode as severely as coastal and riverbanks, it will eventually erode. This is due to rainwater flowing over unprotected areas, small wave action from the wind, and high-traffic areas.
There are several different ways that you can provide lake bank stabilization to your pond or lake. You will most likely want to experiment to see what works best with your pond or lake. Here is how you can see good results on promoting lake bank stabilization:
Rock stabilization
Rock stabilization is a great way to help keep your shoreline from eroding quickly. It is ideal for helping curb wave generated erosion as well as foot traffic. Many different types of rocks and stones can help the shoreline. You will need to choose the right kind of rock and size to go with your pond. They will also need to be placed correctly along the shoreline to ensure that they work as they should. Larger stones are ideal for protecting your shoreline, but it is relatively easy to go over budget as rock can be expensive. Small stones can disappear over time and lead to problems with erosion. Finding the perfect type of rock is imperative to ensure that your bank is stabilized. It is a good idea to find lake management companies well experienced in using rock for pond stabilization. They will be able to tell you exactly what kind of rock you need for your pond or lake.
Synthetics
Several different synthetics can help you with the pond stabilization process. For example, geotextile fabrics, and poly-mesh can all help. Another idea is to use bio-logs, which are long tubes filled with coconut fiber to prevent erosion. If you decide that you want to use synthetic material to promote pond stabilization, call your local lake management companies to find out which synthetic material they recommend.
Aquatic Plants
If you are looking for an all-natural way to stabilize your water bank, perennial plants and grasses should be planted along the shoreline. This will help to create a buffer between the water and the bank. When the roots grow from the plants, it will naturally stabilize the area around the pond or lake. You can also plant plants in the water along the banks to create a buffer that will prevent wave action.
By being proactive and stabilizing your shoreline, you will prevent erosion and costly repairs to your pond or lake. When left untreated, water will always find a way to cause damage. If you are still unsure about how to protect your shoreline, or you want professional opinions, contact lake management companies today to see how they can help you with your shoreline stabilization goals. After you have your shoreline stabilize, make sure that you inspected periodically to ensure that it is working correctly. This is especially true if you have used small rocks or synthetics.
