Services Tailored to South Florida’s Diverse Clients and Environments
1. Erosion Control and Shoreline Stabilization
Our solutions tackle the erosion challenges faced by stormwater systems, residential shorelines, and commercial developments:
Non-structural and bio-engineered methods: Our philosophy is finding a problem and eliminating its origin through proper balance, symmetry, harmony and equilibrium of force instead of fighting against nature or patch work which costs more in the long run.
Hard Engineering: From custom seawalls to RipRap installations for high-impact water bodies like canals and channels.
2. Articulated Concrete Mat Systems
A robust choice for stormwater systems, drainage ditches, and high-flow waterways, our articulated concrete mats provide exceptional protection.
Applications: Perfect for embankment stabilization, commercial property borders, government-managed creeks, and boat ramp stabilization.
Benefits: Fast installation, extreme durability, and minimal environmental disruption.
3. Eco-Filter Tubes (EFT®)
A versatile geo-tube solution for erosion control and shoreline restoration with a wide variety of applications.
Applications: Ideal for lakes managed by homeowners associations, golf course ponds, and natural creek banks.
Environmental Impact: Reduces sediment transport and supports biodiversity.
Comprehensive Support for Complex Projects
Navigating the intricate permitting requirements of South Florida can be challenging. Landshore Enterprises provides full support for environmental engineering and regulatory compliance.
Client Assistance: We help golf courses, residential developers, and contractors with permitting and project design.
Sustainability Commitment: Emphasizing solutions that align with long-term conservation efforts.
Specialized Services for South Florida’s Water Systems
- RipRap Installation: A classic, effective erosion control method for saltwater and freshwater shorelines. Our RipRap projects help protect lake edges, riverbanks, and coastal developments, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
- Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM): Engineered for long-term erosion protection, TRMs are perfect for embankments around drainage systems, golf course water features, and residential slopes.
- Gabions: Stone-filled wire mesh structures offer flexible, cost-effective stabilization, suitable for both aesthetic landscaping and heavy-duty erosion prevention.
Dewatering and Dredging Solutions
From dredging residential lakes to dewatering large drainage systems, our services cater to the specific needs of South Florida’s diverse water environments.
Technology and Precision: We use advanced dredging technology to manage sediment effectively, improving water flow and quality.
Applications: Perfect for stormwater management systems, municipal ponds, and commercial waterway maintenance.

- Sustainability: Environmentally sensitive designs that promote ecological balance.
Comprehensive Shoreline Studies and Analysis
Each project begins with a thorough analysis of the shoreline, taking into account both visible and submerged conditions. Our services include:
- On-Site Field Measurements: Collecting detailed data above and below the waterline to understand the existing landscape and potential vulnerabilities.
- Tailored Design Specifications: Customizing erosion control methods, such as geo-tubes, concrete block mat, gabions, RipRap, non-structural or structural stabilization, to suit the shoreline’s unique needs.
- Detailed Construction Plans: Providing precise blueprints that outline every aspect of the project.
- Engineered Estimates: Offering a clear understanding of materials, quantities, and costs for effective budgeting and long-term planning.
Importance of Engineering Studies
Conducting thorough engineering studies is not just about protecting your property; it’s about ensuring that your investment yields long-term benefits. Our studies help:
- Facilitate Informed Budgeting: Clear, engineered cost estimates allow for strategic financial planning.
- Meet Property-Specific Needs: Customized solutions address your shoreline’s unique challenges, from fluctuating water levels to soil erosion patterns.
- Enhance Longevity and Reliability: By designing with precision, we ensure structures are built to last, reducing the overall lifecycle costs.
