Orchard Lake 2017
Phase II
In 2013 we installed a 35’ section of Envirolok and rain garden along the shoreline. 4 years later the
installation withstood the high energy impact of waves and ice. However, the remaining 120’ suffered
severe loss of shoreline and threatened a lake side patio about to slide into the lake. The homeowner
wanted the balance of his shoreline reinforced to prevent any additional erosion. The pictures tell a
pretty good story, but 4-5’of shore was pushed back in some areas, and the homeowner wanted a more
natural solution vs seawall of boulders or sheet steel. This installation was not completed until early
November 2017 and therefore growth of planting species cannot be appreciated. 4 rows of Envirolok
units were installed and backfilled to create a buffer.
