LIVING SHORELINES
Natural shoreline stabilization solutions that reduce erosion, improve habitat, and protect North Carolina's waterfronts for generations to come.
A NATURAL APPROACH TO SHORELINE PROTECTION
Living shorelines combine natural materials and native vegetation to stabilize shorelines while preserving the health and beauty of the surrounding environment. Unlike traditional hard structures, living shorelines work with nature to reduce erosion, improve water quality, and create valuable wildlife habitat.
King Dredging designs and installs living shoreline solutions for residential, commercial, marina, and municipal waterfronts throughout North Carolina.

Why Choose a Living Shoreline?
Living shorelines provide effective erosion control while preserving the natural character of your waterfront. By using native plants and environmentally friendly stabilization techniques, these systems help absorb wave energy, improve water quality, and create healthier coastal ecosystems.
