Time to start thinking about those shorelines before it’s an emergency.

First seawall of the spring and it’s a wild one. Not been an easy go. But I love a good challenge.

Finally with the snow melt I can get to my trailers so I can move some equipment back to get back to work. We are getting started on some tree projects till we can get back to some other projects and the quarry. Anyone has any thing they need done let me know. We are booking a few spots for spring and summer for retaining walls, seawalls, septics, home site prep. Message me if you are interested in getting scheduled.

Well that was a year. Here is our long lake project we are currently working on. In June the water was almost 18” deep and hitting all of the old seawall. We had to remove the one portion of deck. We set up or big culvert pipes to get the rocks down to the shore. Then drove my mini skid from the boat launch to the job because the water is now 30’ away from the old seawall.

An area surrounding and including the Old Indian Trail system is closed into the fall of 2024. An infestation of Hemlock Wolly Adelgid (HWA) has been identified in the area. HWA is an exotic invasive insect that can rapidly defoliate and kill hemlock trees.
