Crew placing armour stone along a shoreline

Everything your shoreline needs, under one crew.

From coastal engineering and break walls to the final planting, Vanderscape delivers all nine service lines — so there's one team, and one standard, from the waterline up.

01

Concrete Break Walls

Engineered, poured-in-place break walls that hold the shoreline through high water, wave run-up and winter ice — designed to meet Conservation Authority and MNRF requirements.

  • Site-specific structural design
  • Reinforced, poured concrete
  • Keyed armour-stone toe protection
  • Permit drawings & approvals support
02

Shoreline Restoration

We rebuild eroding and failed shorelines from design through completion — re-establishing a stable, natural edge that protects your property and brings the waterfront back into use.

  • Bank & slope re-grading
  • Geotextile and granular filter layers
  • Native planting & soft-armour options
  • Restored access, steps and lawn
03

Erosion Control

Targeted erosion control matched to your exposure — from rip-rap revetments and armour stone to bioengineered slopes that stop scour before it undercuts the bank.

  • Wave-exposure & scour assessment
  • Rip-rap / armour-stone revetments
  • Toe keying and slope anchoring
  • Long-term, low-maintenance builds
04

Retaining Walls

Armour-stone and engineered retaining walls that turn slopes into terraces and usable grade — built from quality stone sourced through long-standing provincial supplier relationships.

  • Armour stone & segmental systems
  • Tiered terracing for steep grade
  • Proper drainage & backfill detailing
  • Integrated steps and seating
05

Site Servicing & Development

Full site servicing to ready a lot for construction — earthworks, grading, drainage and underground servicing coordinated to keep your build moving.

  • Lot grading & earthworks
  • Storm & site drainage
  • Underground servicing
  • Access, staging & site prep
06

Excavation

Precise excavation and earthmoving on tight residential lots and exposed shorelines alike, with the equipment and operators to work cleanly near the water.

  • Bulk & detailed excavation
  • Shoreline & near-water digging
  • Material haul-off & import
  • Trenching and dewatering
07

Concrete Foundations

Residential, commercial and industrial foundations poured to spec — from footings and forming through reinforcement and waterproofing.

  • Footings, forming & rebar
  • Poured foundation walls
  • Waterproofing & drainage
  • Backfill and site reinstatement
08

Coastal Engineering

Coastal engineering grounded in how water actually behaves — wave modelling, beach-erosion management and structures sized for the forces your shoreline really sees.

  • Wave & water-level analysis
  • Beach-erosion management
  • Structure sizing & specification
  • Regulatory & permitting guidance
09

Landscape Construction

The finishing trade that ties it all together — hardscape, grading, steps and planting that turn a restored shoreline into a place you want to spend time.

  • Hardscape & natural stone
  • Steps, paths & shoreline access
  • Final grading & sodding
  • Planting and shoreline naturalization
