Knowing your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/a-guide-to-plant-hardiness-at-your-lake-home-zones-1-3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gardening zone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can determine which plants will most easily grow in your area. But did you know this information is helpful for shoreline erosion prevention, too? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Brian Kearin, founder of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boateasy.net\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boat Easy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a simple solution is to re-plant native vegetation that was cleared away during construction. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Native vegetation will trap soil in its root system and stabilize the existing shoreline to prevent erosion,\u201d he describes. \u201cHere in South Florida various species of mangroves are common and are incredibly effective at stabilizing shorelines, even in the face of large waves and boat wakes. However, native semi-aquatic plants differ by region. Consult a local landscape expert or learn about native plant species yourself and DIY.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-buy-on-the-right-lake\">Buy on the Right Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wooded-shoreline-vermont-lakes-dot-org.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17064\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:424px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wooded-shoreline-vermont-lakes-dot-org.jpg 719w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wooded-shoreline-vermont-lakes-dot-org-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wooded-shoreline-vermont-lakes-dot-org-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/vermontlakes.org\/blog\/2013\/05\/13\/benefits-of-a-wooded-shoreline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Federation of Vermont Lakes and Ponds<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to owning a lake house and customizing your property, a generalizable lesson is to work alongside nature, not against it. For this reason, it\u2019s important to consider the type of natural shoreline on the lake where you\u2019re investing. Paul Johnson, founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/northoutdoors.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NorthOutdoors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, adds, \u201cPerhaps the biggest thing to keep in mind when evaluating your shoreline options is to buy on the right lake. Some lakes have sandy shorelines, others have rocky or rip-rap, and others are more grassy or wooded.\u00a0 If you try to make a shoreline into something it was not intended by nature to be, you will increase your odds of erosion.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-consider-a-vegetated-dune\">Consider a Vegetated Dune<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17065\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:424px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wildsoutheast-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/wildsoutheast.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/31\/coastal-dune-flora-part-1-shrubs-and-trees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wild South East<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you live on a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/fresh-water-sandy-shores-the-best-beach-lakes-in-the-u-s\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lake with a beach shoreline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as one of the Great Lakes, building a vegetated dune might be helpful in warding off shoreline erosion. Paul says, \u201cThe dune is meant to create a backstop for larger wave days, but building a steeper &#8220;bluff&#8221; on the back edge of a beach or shoreline. The key is to vegetate it with perennial grasses or small ground cover, but something that will develop a strong and intertwined root system.\u201d These plants, especially those with sturdy roots, will help create a barrier between your shoreline and risk factors for erosion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-invest-in-rip-rap-shorelines\">Invest in Rip-Rap Shorelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/5\/5a\/Riprap_in_Kiptopeke_State_Park.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:600px;height:321px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Riprap_in_Kiptopeke_State_Park.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a more hardy solution to shoreline erosion, hiring someone to create a rip-rap shoreline at the edge of your lake property is a smart idea. Aesthetically, a rip-rap shoreline is a set of rocks that guard your yard from crashing waves and high winds. However, the strategy behind the process is more complex. Joe Palumbo from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lakeshoreguys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lakeshore Guys<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who installs rip-rap shorelines professionally, comments, \u201cIt&#8217;s important to note that a proper riprap shoreline is NOT a single row of large boulders placed along the shoreline and it is NOT several stacked rows of large boulders either. It&#8217;s a combination of compacted crushed rock (for a non-sandy base) laid down below filter fabric and then natural rocks (which vary 6-30&#8243; in diameter) and it doesn&#8217;t exceed an average of 3:1 slope (horizontal to vertical).\u201d While the installation does require a professional, the outcome &#8212; an extra-durable landscape &#8212; is worth it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope these tips are helpful in keeping your shoreline strong for years to come! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regardless of location, any coastline can be affected by erosion.
