Restored shoreline with boat house and stone cove.
Recreation features were combined with native and drought-tolerant, ornamental plants.
This beachfront patio and kitchen is a relaxing place for the homeowners to enjoy the lake and entertain guests.
Before and After: A new beach nestled in native plants replaced the previous exotic-dominated shore.
Before and After: The Watershed Company designed and rapidly permitted the removal of 180 feet of concrete and rock bulkhead at this waterfront home to create two coved beach areas.
Before and After: The Watershed Company helped transform a lawn-only landscape with a failing bulkhead into a water-accessible and entertainment dream-come-true for two Hunts Point homeowners.
Before and After: The Watershed Company installed boulders and plants along the waterline to create fish foraging habitat while attenuating wave energy at this Kirkland residential beach restoration. Work included removing 85 feet of concrete bulkhead and adding stairs, a rockery, shoreline gravels, and native vegetation.
Before and After: A concrete block wall was replaced with a more natural granite boulder and cedar log shoreline. Planting included an all-drought-tolerant, northwest native plant palette with many flowering and fruiting shrubs.
Before and After: The Watershed Company's design replaced a decaying, creosote-treated wood bulkhead with a more natural beach to attenuate wave action.
