This lake-bank restoration project reversed decades of shoreline erosion and returned long-term stability to a Naples community. After years without major maintenance, portions of the shoreline had retreated as much as 10 to 12 feet, with steep 18 to 24 inch escarpments creating safety concerns for residents and limiting usable space along the lake edge.
Our team designed and permitted a comprehensive restoration plan that rebuilt the shoreline to its original alignment. The solution incorporated geotextile bags filled with dredged lake material to reestablish the bank, followed by resodding and the installation of littoral plantings to enhance stability and support the lake’s ecosystem.
The completed improvements restored both function and appearance, delivering a safer shoreline that is engineered to remain stable for the next 50 years. This project reflects how thoughtful civil engineering can protect infrastructure, improve quality of life, and preserve community assets for generations to come.
