Every HOA board has one problem it hopes the next board will fix. In most lake communities, it is the shoreline.
We rebuild eroding lake and pond banks for South Florida communities so they stay fixed, without turning residents' backyards into a construction site.
Walk out to your lake and look at the edge. If the grass stops 1 or 2 feet short of the water, and the ground there gives a little under your shoe, your bank is already moving. It has probably been moving for years.
Erosion never forces a vote
It moves a little every wet season, the price goes up a little every year, and the problem gets handed to whoever is on the board next. Eventually one board inherits the collapse. It is rarely the board that caused it. But it is always the board that looks like it ignored it.
A community where we saw exactly this
When we first walked one community in South Florida, nobody had done anything to the banks. The slopes had slumped toward the water, and the fences along the backs of the homes were a few months from going into the lake. We rebuilt about 6,600 feet of that shoreline, and the residents kept their lawns while we did it. Read how it works.
The same work holds on retention ponds and stormwater ponds. See pond erosion control, or the page for HOA boards and managers.
2 promises
A bank that stays fixed
The repair that fails puts dirt back and lays sod on top. The repair that lasts gets grass to root into the slope, so the bank gets stronger every year.
A repair your residents barely notice
Bank repair is usually a mess of heavy equipment, torn lawns and broken fences. We developed our own installation method that keeps the work at the bank and out of their yards.
