Proven materials
Knitted polyethylene mesh with rip-stop technology forms a stable containment that supports vegetation.
Create living shorelines and stable banks with SOX systems that are filled on site and planted for long-term hold. We install ShoreSOX and DredgeSOX using knitted polyethylene mesh that supports vegetation and resists erosion.
Waves and runoff carve banks, expose roots, and send sediment into the water. Short fixes with loose rock or soil often fail, which means bigger repairs later and unsafe edges in the meantime. You need a system that protects the bank now, allows roots to grow through, and blends with the landscape after establishment. SOX gives you a contained, anchored structure that accepts plants and becomes part of the shoreline over time.

Long-term results
Homeowners, campuses, contractors, and municipalities need a solution that works without turning the site into a construction zone. Our team is a certified service provider for SOX Erosion Solutions. We review your shoreline or slope, recommend ShoreSOX or DredgeSOX, plan access, and install with attention to durability and a clean finish.
Bank work at the waterline is labor heavy and detail sensitive. Errors in anchoring, fill choice, or alignment reduce performance and can fail during storms. Certified installers follow specs, document key steps, and leave a clean, vegetated finish that lasts.
We install SOX systems across Michigan for lakes, ponds, streams, and slopes. Offices in Grand Rapids and Detroit support regional projects.
ShoreSOX is typically filled with locally sourced organic media or soil. DredgeSOX is designed to be filled with dredged sediment where suitable. Both use knitted polyethylene mesh and anchoring to stabilize the bank.
Protection begins after installation and fill. Vegetation then adds strength as roots establish.
Yes. The mesh is designed to allow vegetation to grow through and knit the system to the site.
Superior describes SOX as a long-term solution that integrates into the shoreline over years of service. Site conditions and maintenance affect lifespan.
Yes. We stabilize private shorelines and public assets, including parks, campuses, and municipal corridors.
Length of shoreline, access, selected system, and vegetation approach are major factors. We confirm during estimating.
