Protect your lake by properly planning and budgeting for shoreline restoration and management. There are solutions for every budget, from cost-effective vegetative shoreline buffers to innovative erosion repair systems.
Lakes and ponds are essential for stormwater collection, recreation, beauty, and wildlife refuge. But their benefits have an expiration date. Eventually, due to erosion and other aspects of the natural aging process, your lake can become an eyesore and a liability. Lake shoreline restoration projects are inevitable – and sometimes costly – so it’s imperative to get ahead of expenses by calculating an accurate timeline and budget.
We know you cherish your water resources; after all, they can be assets that enhance the value and desirability of your property. We want to help you preserve them for as long as possible through proper planning and maintenance efforts. This starts with understanding the effects of erosion and budget considerations that impact important decisions.
Erosion is natural due to wind, rain, and wildlife activity, but can be accelerated through cultural impacts like recreation, landscaping, and construction. It can also look different from one waterbody to the next, from receding or unstable banks to sediment deposits along the shoreline. Ignoring these signs can result in damaged assets and possible liability risks.
No matter your budget, every property deserves access to shoreline erosion solutions. Even if the damage is minimal, such as one-inch dropoffs, it’s possible to get ahead of it through cost-effective means or larger investments.
An economical solution for shoreline protection is a vegetative buffer containing native plants with deep root systems. When established around the perimeter, beneficial buffers help hold soil in place and slow the flow of stormwater to prevent deterioration. Buffers are also cost-effective to maintain, requiring only routine trimming and monitoring for the growth of undesirable plants.

I can’t tell you how may fights I have been involved in regarding flags other than the U.S. flag flying above someone’s home and the fact that someone put down fake grass or stored a boat, that nobody can see, in their backyard. Well, here’s a new statute that solves both of those problems:
Florida Statute 718.113
If any covenant, restriction, bylaw, rule, or requirement of an association prohibits a homeowner from displaying flags permitted under this paragraph, the homeowner may still display one portable, removable United States flag or official flag of the State of Florida in a respectful manner up to two of the following, and one portable, removable flags official flag, in a respectful manner, not 48 larger than 4 1/2 feet by 6 feet:, which represents
In addition, in an HOA, the homeowner may erect a 20 foot flagpole on any portion of their property and fly the U.S. flag and any of the flags mentioned above.
Florida Statute 720.3045 now states:
Regardless of any covenants, restrictions, bylaws, rules, or requirements of an association, and unless prohibited by general law or local ordinance, an association may not restrict parcel owners or their tenants from installing, displaying, or storing any items on a parcel which are not visible from the parcel’s frontage or an adjacent parcel, including, but not limited to, artificial turf, boats, flags, and recreational vehicles.
I’m getting ready for lots of fights regarding visibility of boats as boat owners will look to save the costs of monthly storage.
