Questions boards ask about lake bank repair
How do I know if our lake bank is eroding?
Walk to the water and look at the edge. If the grass stops 1 or 2 feet short of the water, or the ground gives a little under your shoe, the bank is already moving. Our guide lists 7 signs to look for.
What is the free lake bank walk?
We walk your banks, measure and photograph every section, and give you a written report you can put in front of the board. It is yours to use whether you hire us or not.
What does a repair cost?
It depends on the length of bank, its condition and how we reach it. After the walk, we price from a written scope, so you know exactly what each number covers.
Will your crews be in residents' backyards?
No. We developed our own installation method that keeps the work at the bank and out of residents' yards. Lawns, walkways, sprinkler heads and fences stay as they are.
How long does the repair last?
We build it to be permanent. The grass roots into the rebuilt slope, so the bank gets stronger every year. Every job carries a 5 year material and 5 year labor warranty in writing.
Do you come back after the job?
Yes. We inspect the bank in years 3, 5, 7 and 9, and each visit comes with a written report for your minutes.
What is a Proof Section?
It is about 100 feet of repair at a spot your residents can see, so the board sees the result before it votes on the rest. The fee is credited to the full job.
Do we have to fix every lake at once?
No. Most communities phase the work by lake, worst sections first, to fit the budget they have.
How is your repair different?
We rebuild the slope from the waterline up with leading edge technology that lets the grass root into the bank, so the bank holds instead of sliding back into the lake.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. We do every foot of the work ourselves. The people who walk your bank are the people who rebuild it and the people who come back to inspect it.
Who handles permits?
Before we write a scope, we check what applies to your lake and who is responsible for the bank. We tell you what is needed before work starts.
Where do you work?
We are based in Boca Raton and work across Palm Beach, Broward and Miami Dade.
