Shoreline Renovation
Shoreline renovation that stabilizes banks, protects stormwater systems, and enhances pond health.
As erosion, vegetation loss, and unstable banks threaten lakes and ponds, shoreline renovation provides a proven, effective solution to stabilize edges, restore habitat, protect stormwater systems, and improve long-term lake and pond health.
WHAT IS SHORELINE RENOVATION?
Shoreline renovation involves restoring and stabilizing the edges of lakes and ponds using a combination of techniques, including grading, erosion control structures, native plantings, and riprap installation. This approach helps prevent further shoreline erosion, improve aquatic and riparian habitats, enhance water quality, and ensure stormwater systems function more effectively by reducing sediment and nutrient runoff.
IDEAL FOR:
- Lakes and stormwater ponds with eroding or unstable shorelines
- Waterbodies experiencing loss of native vegetation
- Areas impacted by storm runoff, wave action, or fluctuating water levels
- Sites requiring bank stabilization or aesthetic enhancement
Skilled Employees

325+ Years Combined Experience
With 325+ years of combined experience, we are leaders in pond and lake management specialized in bespoke algae control.
Science-Driven Specialists
Our 110+ biologists understand the delicate dynamics of aquatic ecosystems and maintain a balance of health and beauty.
What we do
Our goal isn’t just shoreline repair; it’s creating stable, healthy, and functional lake and pond edges that support long-term ecosystem balance, water quality, and stormwater system performance.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHORELINE RENOVATION APPROACH
At Jones Lake Management, we evaluate shoreline conditions, erosion patterns, vegetation loss, and stormwater needs before recommending a renovation plan. Our team selects the right combination of native plantings, structural stabilization, and erosion control techniques to create sustainable, functional shorelines that protect and enhance your pond or lake.
Shoreline renovation prevents further erosion, improves water quality, enhances aquatic and riparian habitats, and helps stormwater systems function more effectively by reducing sediment and nutrient runoff. Restoring natural shoreline vegetation and stabilizing banks creates balanced ecosystems that support fish, wildlife, and beneficial plants while improving recreational and visual value.
Where significant erosion or sediment accumulation has occurred, mechanical or hydraulic dredging can remove excess sediment and restore pond depth, protecting both the ecosystem and stormwater infrastructure. Jones Lake Management combines dredging with shoreline stabilization, habitat restoration, and long-term maintenance planning to deliver fully customized solutions that preserve waterbody health, structural integrity, and ecosystem function.
Our shoreline renovation services are fully customizable for HOAs, municipalities, and commercial properties, with actionable plans, regulatory documentation, and ongoing monitoring. Whether your focus is habitat restoration, bank stabilization, dredging, or stormwater protection, we provide solutions that improve water quality, protect infrastructure, and ensure your lake or pond thrives for years to come.

We had Jones treat our pond for a growth of algae. It was a mess. They safely got rid of it while not harming our fish and other wildlife.

Eco-Development
We provide a number of eco-development services including shoreline stabilization, erosion control, native and wetland plantings, habitat enhancements, shoreline renovation, and pond liner installation to improve water quality and long-term pond health.
Every waterbody is different. Our team performs a site evaluation to assess shoreline condition, water quality, erosion, water loss, and property goals before recommending solutions.
Yes. Shoreline stabilization, wetland plantings and proper grading can help reduce nutrient runoff, limit sediment buildup, and improve overall ecosystem balance.
Yes. Jones Lake Management provides full-service project planning, permitting guidance when required, professional installation, and post-project recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
Our projects prioritize long-term ecological health by using native plants, erosion-control techniques, and science-based construction methods that support aquatic habitat and water quality.
Shoreline renovation stabilizes eroding banks, restores damaged edges, and protects property from sediment runoff and structural damage while improving the appearance of your waterbody.
Pond liners are recommended when ponds experience chronic water loss, have porous soils, or are being newly constructed or renovated to improve water retention and long-term stability.
Wetland plants stabilize shorelines, filter nutrients, improve wildlife habitat, and help naturally reduce phosphorus and sedimentation by slowing and filtering incoming water before it enters the pond.
