Shoreline work is some of the most rewarding — and most regulated — work we do. Done right, it protects the property, looks beautiful, and respects the lake. Done wrong, it creates problems for you and the ecosystem.
What we do
- Armour stone shoreline walls
- Erosion control and slope stabilization
- Regrading washed-out banks
- Native vegetation buffer planting
- Stone steps down to dock or beach
- Boat launch prep
Permits and approvals
Most shoreline work in Ontario requires conservation authority approval and sometimes Ministry sign-off. We handle the application process and design to current requirements.
Working windows
There are restricted in-water work windows to protect fish spawning. Plan early — shoreline projects often need to be permitted months ahead of the work window.
Frequently Asked Questions

- Almost always, yes. Even small shoreline projects usually need conservation authority approval.
- Can armour stone go right at the waterline?
- Yes, when properly approved and set on a stable base. It's the most durable shoreline protection available.
