Common questions
Answers to questions we hear from property owners
How do I know if my riprap needs repair?
Signs include visible gaps in the rock, exposed soil behind the riprap, settling or shifting stones, or active erosion around the edges. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to address them before they worsen. We can assess your shoreline and recommend the right repairs.
What does new riprap installation involve?
We start by assessing your shoreline conditions and property needs. Installation includes site preparation, proper grading, placement of filter fabric if needed, and careful placement of appropriately sized rock. The goal is durable protection that works with your lake's conditions.
Do you work on all lakes in the area?
We serve lake properties throughout Otter Tail County, Grant County, and Douglas County. This includes Otter Tail Lake, Pelican Lake, Lake Miltona, Lake Carlos, and many others. Contact us to confirm we service your specific lake.
What's the difference between brush clearing and forestry mulching?
Brush clearing removes vegetation and debris, often hauling it away. Forestry mulching uses specialized equipment to grind brush and small trees into mulch on-site, which helps prevent erosion and enriches the soil. Mulching is often faster and leaves the property cleaner.
Can you clear trails through wooded areas?
Yes, we create trails for recreational use, property access, or maintenance. We can clear paths to specific widths, remove stumps, and grade as needed. Trail clearing works well for ATV paths, walking trails, or access routes to docks and shorelines.
How do I submit photos of my project?
You can submit photos through our contact form or email them directly. Photos help us understand your project scope and provide more accurate estimates. Include views of the full area and any specific problem spots.
Do I need permits for shoreline work?
Permit requirements vary by county and lake. Shoreline work often requires DNR permits, especially for riprap installation or significant alterations. We can guide you on what's typically needed, but you should verify requirements with your local authorities before starting work.
