Erosion Shrinks Beaches and Raises Costs

Storms, high water, and steady winds strip sand and flatten dunes. Waiting leads to deeper cutbacks, unsafe drop offs, and sediment in the water. Quick rock piles or piecemeal fixes often fail, leaving you to pay again when the next storm hits. You need a plan that adds sand where it is needed, stabilizes the face, and blends into the landscape.

Why More Shorelines Choose a Vegetation-First Approach?

What Exactly Is Beach and Dune Erosion Control?

Erosion control reduces loss of sand and vegetation by installing systems that resist wind and water. The goal is to keep dunes and beaches intact, protect access, and support habitat.

We know Great Lakes shorelines and tight seasonal windows

Homeowners, lakefront businesses, and stewardship groups want protection that works without turning the coast into a construction site. We review your property, match a solution to your exposure, and stage equipment so installation is efficient and tidy.

DIY shoreline fixes vs partnering with Superior

Beach work is labor heavy and detail sensitive. Single errors in layout, fill, or planting reduce performance. Our crews install proven systems, place the right sand composition, and finish cleanly so protection starts quickly and lasts longer.

Superior protects more than private beaches

Sand nourishment to widen and refresh shorelines
Geotextile tubes or sandbags for added resistance at the waterline
Dune grass planting to trap windblown sand and rebuild elevation
Hydroseed control blends for coverage on appropriate slopes

What are the steps to protect a beach or dune?

Material Placement Erosion Control
1. Evaluate the property
We confirm your shoreline type and the issues you are seeing. Site visits help us understand exposure and access.
2. Determine the solution
We select from sand backfill, geotextile tubes, dune grass plantings, or a hydroseed blend based on conditions.
3. Prepare the site
We clear debris and handle any prerequisites so the system performs as intended.
4. Install the solution
We place sand with blower or slinger trucks, set and fill tubes where specified, plant dune grass, or spray a performance growth medium.

A simple 3-step path to a healthier shoreline

I've been installing landscapes and hydroseeding my entire adult life. We hired this company for a very large and complicated project to blow compost. We had such a great experience we used them to hydromulch the site when we finished native seeding. They moved their schedule twice to meet conditions and were happy to do so. They were very professional, the crew was very polite, they went way above and beyond to make sure it was easy for us and our client. I cant say enough good about the people, the company, and the work. I look forward to getting to use them on another project in the future.

This company is amazing. They came out on Monday and did and amazing job. They prepared the lawn, removing a lot of rocks. They did an amazing job for erosion control. They were professional and communicated from the beginning. Tuesday, Buckets of rain. All the prep work, hydroseed washed away. Were the erosion mats were laid did exactly what it was supposed to do but no company can prepare for the amount of water that God released. Wednesday, I called and talked to Bill. Whom I had been in contact with from the beginning. Bill stopped by house, told me he had a truck in the area. A crew was out there fixing the yard and re-hydroseeded my yard without extra cost. I could not have been happier of their professionalism and customer service. I would highly recommend Superior if your in need of hydroseeding.

We have had a great experience with hiring Superior Groundcover to complete our hydroseeding for our home. From the moment we spoke with Bill, we knew we could trust the work to be done the right way. Bill educated us on the process and was always available to answer any questions we had. Also, his team was quick, efficient and professional. We would highly recommend working with this company for your hydroseeding project.

Can't recommend these guys enough. Called Terry on a short notice to try to get mulch in on a project that meant a lot to me. Even in their busiest time of year he managed to make it happen for me within the timeline I needed it. His guys were knowledgeable and very polite. They knew exactly how much mulch I was going to need to finish the project and got it done. They also blew the area spotless and even managed to clean up some of my mess in the process. All around 10/10 company and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else!
