Restore Your Lakefront Property

Shorelines preserve the ecological balance between the lake and land, as well as plays an essential role in the beauty of the landscape. With 43 miles of shoreline property surrounding Chautauqua Lake and the many seasons that happen in Western New York ,there is a lot of energy happening on the lakefront!

Natural shorelines allow more water to be absorbed into the ground than runoff. Slowing and filtering runoff as it moves toward the lake will help protect the investment of your lake home. 

We have secured streambanks and shorelines in Chautauqua County, Warren County and Cattaraugus County!

Protecting your investment

Wave action, ice movement and human disturbances all cause soil to move, creating vulnerable areas along the shore. Utilizing natural stone and native plants to anchor in your shoreline helps control the erosion of your property from wave action either from wind or boat wakes. This creates a buffer zone between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. Natural shorelines are not only rugged, they are aesthetically pleasing as well.

ECOLOGICAL BALANCE

Natural shorelines allow more water to be absorbed into the ground than runoff. Slowing and filtering runoff as it moves toward the lake reducing sediments from upland run off. This prevents over sedimentation that leads to the massive weed growth and algae blooms. Let us help you reclaim your lakefront.
