❄️ Yes, we install rip rap in the winter!

Winter can actually be an ideal time to protect your shoreline—and we’re building our winter schedule now.

Why winter rip rap?

💧 Lower water levels can provide better access to areas of the shoreline.
❄️ Frozen ground helps minimize disturbance to your lawn and property.
🚧 No spring road restrictions to work around.
🌷 Your shoreline is protected and ready to enjoy when spring arrives.
🌊 And most importantly, properly installed rip rap helps protect your property from erosion caused by waves, ice and changing water levels.

Schedule your free estimate now and lock in 2026 pricing. We anticipate larger-than-normal price increases in 2027, so completing your project this winter could mean significant savings.

Not every shoreline is a candidate for winter installation—but yours might be.

📞 Call us today at 218.531.2055 to schedule your free estimate and reserve your place on our winter rip rap schedule. Lock in 2026 pricing now before our 2027 price increase!

🔥 The best outdoor spaces aren’t just about how they look—they’re about what happens there.

Morning coffee with a lake view. Family meals outside. Long conversations around the fire that stretch well into the evening. Those are the moments that turn a patio into a favorite gathering place.

A thoughtfully designed outdoor space gives you more reasons to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy your property.

🍂 What memories could you make in a space like this?

🍁 Fall evenings were made for spaces like this.

A paver patio, outdoor fireplace, retaining wall and surrounding landscape all come together to create a space that’s perfect for enjoying those crisp Minnesota evenings.

And while the temperatures may be cooling down, now is a great time to start thinking about next summer. Planning ahead gives you time to create an outdoor space that fits your property and how you want to use it.

🔥 Cozy nights by the fire, summer gatherings with family and friends, or simply a beautiful place to relax—it all starts with a plan.

🍂 There’s no better compliment than having a customer recommend our team to others.

Jon trusted Lake Shore Services with a long list of projects at his new lake home—from irrigation and landscaping to beach improvements and multiple retaining walls. We’re proud that what stood out wasn’t only the finished result, but also the communication, recommendations, and service throughout the entire project.

And we especially love seeing members of our crew recognized by name. A big shoutout to Alexis, Josh, and Rodney for helping make Jon’s experience such a positive one!

Thank you, Jon, for trusting Lake Shore Services with your property and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. 💛

🪨 Sometimes the landscape itself calls for a natural solution.

Boulder retaining walls are a great way to manage elevation changes while creating a look that blends naturally into the surrounding property. Paired with rock beds, they can turn a difficult slope into a landscape that feels intentional and finished.

And because every property is different, we design each project around the space—not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Have a slope or problem area you’re not quite sure what to do with?

🍂 When your lake property has a challenging slope, the right landscape design can completely change how you use it.

This project brought several elements together to create a functional connection from the home all the way to the water—retaining walls to manage the elevation, steps for easier access, and rip rap to protect the shoreline.

It’s a great example of how landscape construction isn’t always about adding one feature. Sometimes it’s about looking at the entire property and creating a solution that works together from top to bottom.
