Securing Your Bluff for Stair Installation
Is my bluff ready for stairs?
Many areas along the Benton Harbor shoreline are designated as high-risk erosion zones, meaning that installing stairs without addressing erosion on your bluff could result in structural failure over time. Before adding any structures along your shoreline, we help you assess the stability of your bluff and consider if dune restoration is necessary.
Dune Restoration & Shoreline Protection
Add sand to restore lost dune height and provide extra material for the dune to return to its natural angle of reposition.
An erosion control blanket, sometimes called an erosion control mat or straw mat, is a blanket-like structure made of biodegradable materials that can be installed on any desired location to protect against erosion. These blankets or mats work to hold soil or sand in place, prevent shifting, and provide a stable environment for vegetation establishment. Learn how they work.
Keep your dune stabilized with fast-growing beach grass that’s native to Michigan. After an erosion control blanket is in place, vegetation is planted to further stabilize the bluff. The deep root systems of American Native Beach Grass or Cape American Beach Grass are crucial for anchoring sand and preventing erosion before you build. Spring, from March to mid-May, is one of the best times to plant beach grass because of its mild temperatures. Get started today.
