Erosion Control- ShoreSOX
Our ShoreSOX installations provide a natural, long-lasting solution for shoreline stabilization and erosion control. The system uses a high-strength mesh sleeve that’s hydraulically filled with sand, creating a durable barrier that supports vegetation growth and blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Once installed, we cover each ShoreSOX section with fresh sod, giving the bank an instant, finished look while allowing the root system to anchor deep into the sand-filled base. This combination of structure and vegetation delivers stability and erosion protection without sacrificing the natural beauty of your pond.
Unlike traditional riprap or hardscape methods, ShoreSOX reinforces the shoreline while maintaining a clean, natural appearance and encouraging long-term plant growth. TurnPro Aquatics uses this system to restore eroded banks, prevent future washouts, and protect pond edges from wave and storm damage—all with a professional finish designed to last for decades.
Why We Avoid Other Retaining Options
Riprap (Rock Shoreline):
-
Can shift or settle over time, creating uneven edges and tripping hazards
-
Difficult to mow or maintain along the shoreline
-
Traps weeds, debris, and algae between rocks
-
Provides little root structure or natural vegetation growth
-
Creates a rough, industrial look rather than a clean, natural finish
Concrete Retaining Walls:
-
Often fail over time due to cracking, separation, or collapse from water pressure
-
Reflect wave energy instead of absorbing it, causing erosion elsewhere
-
Require precise compaction and drainage—issues that many older ponds lack
-
Create a hard, unnatural edge that contrasts with the pond’s environment
Railroad Ties and Timber Walls:
-
Quickly rot, warp, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture
-
Can leach harmful chemicals like creosote into the water
-
Require frequent maintenance and replacement
-
Offer little long-term stability or environmental benefit
