Bioengineered Shoreline Stabilization for Permit

The shoreline of this property consisted of approximately 300 linear feet of a steep bluff which had been severely undercut by wave action. Existing mature trees had fallen, and soil loss was beginning to threaten the septic leach field. LARK Studio designed a stabilization solution using large boulders, erosion-control matting, and native plants to mimic the naturally stable shorelines occurring elsewhere in the area. When the vegetation matures, the repaired areas will blend with the untouched coast. LARK has completed the permit process for this project, and construction will begin in the spring of 2017.
