Count on Us for All Your Dune Restoration Needs
Wind-blown sand from the beach gets trapped and stabilized by salt-tolerant native dune vegetation. A healthy dune is a potential sand source for a beach during any storm event. Rely on the professionals at Superior Waterway Services to handle dune restoration the right way. We will provide you with the following:
- Remove exotic vegetation
- Re-vegetate with native dune plants
- Monitor and maintain the dune
Add a Natural Buffer to Your Lake or Pond
Whether you need a lake or a pond landscaping or aquascaping, you can count on us to handle it. Adding a natural buffer has multiple benefits. Some counties use them as stormwater retention ponds as designated mitigation areas.
From arrowhead to water lilies, you can use these plants to add to the aesthetic appeal of your lake or pond. Adding the right plant is important because it all depends on the depth of the lake. Each species grows differently at different depths in a pond or lake.
Benefits of Planting Along the Shoreline
- Erosion control – The roots from plants stabilize the shoreline and offshore vegetation act as a buffer against wave action
- Reduction of non-native plant invasions – Exotic plants have a much harder time taking root in places where native plants are abundant
- Water quality – Plants take up excess nutrients as they grow and spread and act as a filter for surface run-off from different sources like roads and lawns
- Wildlife habitat – Many organisms live at the water’s edge, and aquatic plants provide both food and shelter, which will attract people to your lake
- Aesthetics – As nice as a well-manicured grass area is, too much can make it lose its appeal; even worse are the chain-link fences surrounding many pollution retention ponds. Increase the visual interest of the scenery by adding a variety of plants to your lake or pond
Consider a Shoreline Buffer for Better Dune Restoration
A shoreline buffer helps reduce erosion and is a good method to incorporate for dune restoration. Once a shoreline is installed, you can expect an unlimited life span and better durability.
