Shoreline Restoration and Protection

Preserve Your Lakefront Investment

In Minnesota, beachfront property is more than just real estate; it is a lifestyle. However, wind, waves, and ice heaving can quickly turn a prized shoreline into a disappearing asset. At Lenz Lawn Care, we specialize in halting soil loss and restoring the structural integrity of your beach, ensuring your land remains intact for generations to enjoy.

The First Line of Defense: Shoreline Retaining Walls

Stop Erosion. Enhance Aesthetics.

A beach retaining wall is critical for reinforcing the boundary between the water and your land. We design and construct physical barriers that absorb wave energy and reduce the breakdown of your shoreline over time.

Natural Stone Boulders (Rip Rap)

The most popular choice for Minnesota lakes. We install properly graded natural fieldstone boulders that blend seamlessly with the environment while providing rugged, heavy-duty erosion control.

Engineered Retaining Blocks

For a more formal or manicured look, we utilize high-strength engineered stone blocks. These provide a uniform aesthetic and are excellent for creating distinct separation between the beach and the lawn.

Compliance and DNR Coordination

Protecting Your Investment and Our Waters.

Shoreline projects are subject to strict oversight, and navigating these regulations requires sensitivity and experience. The Lenz team works directly with local city officials and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to ensure every aspect of your restoration stays strictly within lakefront guidelines. We have cultivated strong professional relationships with these officials to ensure a smooth, compliant process from start to finish.

  • Homeowner Security: Our expertise protects you from the risk of costly fines, violations, or mandatory “do-overs” caused by non-compliance.

  • Environmental Stewardship: By strictly adhering to these standards, we ensure your project is built responsibly, ensuring our local lakes and streams continue to be protected and well taken care of.
