March Spotlight | Environmental Stewardship
What was once an eroding shoreline held together by old railway ties has been transformed into something far more meaningful—a naturalized, resilient waterfront designed to improve both the land and the lake.
This project is a strong reflection of environmental stewardship in action. Our team removed contaminated materials and rebuilt the shoreline using natural granite rockery, improved drainage systems, and native plantings. The result is a healthier shoreline that will continue to strengthen over time—supporting water quality, reducing erosion, and creating a more natural connection to the landscape.
Crew Leader Scott played a key role in bringing this vision to life. Working through challenging soft shoreline conditions, he and the team carefully navigated access using mats to minimize impact and ensure the site was restored with care. For Scott, the most rewarding part was seeing the transformation—from outdated materials to a shoreline that feels like it truly belongs.
“It’s about getting back in touch with nature—creating something that looks better, functions better, and is better for the environment.”
The design also introduced flagstone access, refined planting areas, and drainage solutions that turned previously unusable wet space into functional landscape—all while seamlessly tying together two neighbouring properties into one cohesive waterfront.
Shoutout to Jackie for thoughtful design leadership, and Chris and crew for navigating permitting, communication, and ex*****on at a high level.
And hearing this from our client reinforces why we do what we do:
