Before any Block or Rock is installed the shoreline area is prepared by cleaning out any debris and the shoreline over hangs are smoothed out. Then, black landscaping cloth is laid on top of the shoreline area where the rock or black will be installed. When installing block geogrid clean gravel is also used. When placing the blocks they are arranged in the customers desired location within Duke Power ordinances. When the rocks are installed the thicker rocks are selectively placed on the area closer to the water. The rocks are arranged and hand placed in an attractive manner.
