A natural shoreline is comprised of native plants- like flowers, shrubs, and grasses- along a water's edge. This landscape style is attractive and helps the overall health of the waterbody.
Native plants have deep roots that are used to living in and around water. These roots help reduce soil pollution.
Shorelines made up of native plants act as a buffer to help reduce other pollutants - such as phosphorus and nitrogen- that may runoff from lawns and roads.
Lastly, they provide a habitat for a variety of animals.

Why Plant a Natural Shoreline?
Plant a natural shoreline to protect your property and your lake.
Native plants along the shoreline:
Hold soil in place with deep systems
Absorb energy from waves created by wind and boats
Slow water runoff allows pollutants- such as soil and contaminants- to absorb into the soil instead of depositing into the water
