Losing Your Shoreline or Riverbank at Your Iowa Home? Riprap to the Rescue.

Want an ugly shoreline that crumbles and erodes? Then hire a landscaper. But if you’re way past looking for quotes and want a riprap shoreline that’s built once and built right by the best hands in the business, contact Lakeshore Guys today. Also, see this case-study on how our shorelines resist ice damage.

Riprap shoreline on Lake Minnetonka

Most people who think of Iowa don’t think of living next to the water, but of course a place that’s between the mighty Mississippi and Missouri rivers has beautiful lakes and rivers.  We, as your amphibious friends just to the north, know that Iowa’s shorelines and riverbanks are the real deal.  Iowans work hard and relax right, and you want your waterfront property to add to the relaxation, and not just add to the work.

Easier said than done.  You’re losing your shoreline or riverbank to erosion, and so you need a riprap shoreline that’s even tougher than the elements.  Only a riprap shoreline – a carefully engineered barrier of stone supported by tough aquatic filter-fabric – can end erosion and stand the test of time.

Restored shoreline in Wisconsin - before and after

Lakeshore Guys® are the makers of the toughest riprap shorelines made.  We’re based just a few hours up the road, in the Twin Cities area.  Lakefront property owners throughout the Midwest are drawn to the quality of our work, and are sick of tall promises but shoddy work from local landscapers, who don’t have the experience or expertise to build the kind of riprap shoreline that only needs to be built once.

By the way, we also build the finest boat ramps and staircases and steps you can get your feet on.

We can work on your shoreline wherever in the Hawkeye State it may be, but we get an outsize number of calls from places we consider hot spots:

  • Big Spirit Lake
  • East Okoboji Lake
  • West Okoboji Lake
  • Silver Lake
  • Center Lake
  • Lower Gar Lake
  • Upper Gar Lake
  • Minnewashta Lake

Like Iowa, a Lakeshore Guys® riprap shoreline is both rugged and beautiful.  Our riprap shorelines are the toughest built, for no fewer than 15 reasons.

If you haven’t done so, please check out our reviews and photos of our work.

To stop the erosion and start enjoying your shoreline again, contact Lakeshore Guys® today.
