SHORELINE PROTECTION

Dissen & Juhn Company has a long standing commitment to serving the needs of waterfront property owners with quality-build, long lasting and aesthetically pleasing erosion control structures of both a “hard” and “soft” variety. We offer several designs to meet varying budget, aesthetic, and site requirements.

LIVE SHORELINES

A LIVING SHORELINE combines low profile stone sills, sand fill and marsh grasses to create a natural barrier to eroding waves.

BULKHEADS

We also install BULKHEADS for precise shaping of land contours using interlocking sheets of timber, vinyl, or steel to form a continuous barrier between your property and the water.

ARMOR STONE

ARMOR STONE is one of the most cost effective and time proven solutions to shoreline erosion. These massive stones, weighing several tons each, are individually placed to create a substantial barrier to destructive wave action.

RIPRAP

RIPRAP are smaller stones, weighing up to one ton each, packed tight to provide a stable embankment to protect shorelines from the eroding effects of waves and currents.
