SHORELINE EROSION is the continual movement and relocation of soil particles caused by wave action.

Shoreline Specialists, serving North Carolina & Virginia, has one main focus in mind, and that is to prevent shoreline water and soil erosion using a variety of methods.  Several factors play into the design of any particular erosion solution.  Wave size must be considered first.  Next the size of the stone must be determined based on the wave size.  In addition, the slope at which the stones are placed against the bank is extremely important.  If any of these factors are overlooked, the erosion control method will eventually fail.  Shoreline Specialists take pride in designing and implementing long term erosion control features for property owners at Lake Gaston.  Their mentality is to use the appropriate amount of stone to fix the problem (no more - no less). It is their opinion, based on fact and science, that shoreline erosion can be prevented on Lake Gaston without placing stone 20-30 feet high on the slope of the land.  This is a very sterile look as seen from the water, and is not maintenance free.  On the other hand, Shoreline Specialists can provide erosion control without consuming a huge amount of the home owner's property.
