Sea Walls
Here in southwest
Michigan, sea walls are greatly needed as we have so many motor
boats and jet ski waves which
constantly
erode away the beaches of our inland lakes. With so many
sea wall options, it's difficult to know exactly which type is
best suited keep erosion from occurring while protecting the
environment and still looking beautiful from the water.
First Impression Landscaping has taken the the time to do all that research and has found the best product for the Kalamazoo / Portage / southwest Michigan area inland lakes. The answer was obvious. We have chosen to specialize in installation of ShoreGuard seawalls. Here's a little bit about the product we found so amazing.
A seawall’s job is to hold back soil and to act as a barrier from water pulling the soil into the water which causes erosion and property loss. ShoreGuard is designed to do this and more. Unlike seawalls made of chemically treated wood, concrete, or steel which deteriorate all too quickly, the ShoreGuard seawall system can withstand heavy loads, extremely corrosive salt water, marine borer attacks and violent storms. Just look at the difference between wood, steel and the ShoreGuard seawall system.
Wood versus ShoreGuard Steel versus ShoreGuard
Also, their marine grade aluminum is thick enough to compete with steel, but light enough to cut installation costs. Here are some more specifics detailing why we like the ShoreGuard system:
- The best color variety available
- The most attractive and "finished-looking" capping
- 27 different interlocking sheets in sizes and materials
ranging from light-weight residential to heavy industrial - Manufactured by a company with over 50 years
experience in the industry - Consistent quality and long-life durability
Following are some other images of the finished ShoreGuard product.
