Our low-impact solutions are perfect for Florida HOA’s, golf courses, municipalities, and any areas where access is difficult and/or impact needs to be minimal. For our shoreline restoration services, we utilize our low-impact pump dredge to fill geotextile tubes with sediment from the bottom of the lake to create a natural slope. There’s no need for bringing in outside material to restore the shoreline. Our knowledgeable lake management team will efficiently restore your shoreline with our low-impact and cost-effective solutions.
Low-Impact Florida Shoreline Restoration Process
Eroded shoreline in need of restoration.
The crew secures the base geobag to the eroded shoreline. Additional geobags will be stacked on top of the base bag. The bags are added to create vertical height and to recreate a slope or escarpment with a proper ratio.
2. The crew easily maneuvers the low-impact pump dredge without the need for heavy machinery that may cause (additional) damage to the area.
3. The dredge pumps sediment from the lake bottom directly into the geobags staked on the shoreline. This pumped sediment is what will create the new natural slope to repair the hurricane damaged shoreline.
4. Once the bags are filled properly, the sediment is left to dry. The top bag is then split open and the dried sediment is graded to the desired slope. The bottom base bag is left intact as a safeguard against future erosion.
5. The sediment is secured with coconut matting to help prevent washout. Our Pensacola shoreline restoration experts then secure sod over the matting to complete the safe and natural shoreline.
Our shoreline restoration through pump dredging process has returned the embankment to a natural slope. Additionally, we’ve restored peace of mind to these homeowners that their prized lakefront property has not permanently lost value or safety.
9,000 Feet of Lakefront Hurricane Damaged Shoreline Restoration:
Dragonfly’s Florida shoreline restoration experts restored over 9,000 feet of lakefront hurricane damaged shoreline for this luxury community. This restoration required a variety of solutions. Challenges included the proximity of homes next to the shoreline and almost daily afternoon rainstorms which can increase the possibility of impact from equipment. Our crews utilized low-impact methods and timed machinery related work so as not to cause any damage to the properties located close to the shoreline.
Before: The berm was washed into the lake by hurricane storm surge.
After: We utilized our low-impact system to restore the berm, then installed sod and riprap to further secure the shoreline.
