Do you have problems with an eroding shoreline or beach? Need to do some work within 150- 75 feet of the water, and don't know where to start or how to go about getting the proper permits? We specialize in waterfront retaining walls and repair. We work closely with the DEP to make sure all regulations are met and the most effective job will be done. Ask us about the many products available to create a safe, attactive, and environmentally-friendly means of keeping your shoreline intact and our lakes clean and healthy!

Outoor living spaces are another of our specialties. Turn the area around your home into an outdoor room and expand your entertaining possibilities! A firepit incorporated into the patio even makes it comfortable and cozy in the wintertime. Check out our outdoor living spaces gallery to see what we can do for you!

We have also worked with the Portland Water District and their 'Lakes Like Less Lawn' program. Click here to download the 'Lakes Like Less Lawn' brochure! More links and resources for lake-friendly landscaping can be found here.
