Description

As the saying goes “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and that is certainly true with Native Shorelines, a Davey Company, as their innovative living shorelines mimic and improve upon the natural coastal protections offered by mother nature. Living shorelines are an environmentally superior, competitively priced alternative to hardened bulkheads and seawalls. As a more effective and environmentally sound solution, living shorelines can improve water quality, provide fisheries habitat, increase biodiversity, and promote recreation.
Native Shorelines’ patented QuickReef® precast concrete panel systems are fabricated near the project location and utilize a proprietary Type 1L Cement concrete mix design which lowers the overall carbon footprint of the design. Living Shorelines are built from natural local marine limestone materials which mimic the local minerology and are integrated with the landscape, help trap sediments from tidal waters, and allow the marsh behind them to grow. They create a natural, and highly storm-resilient barrier to wave energy. Published scientific research and practical experience over the last two decades confirms that Mother Nature is the best steward of your coastal property. Living Shorelines are an environmentally superior, competitively priced, 21st century alternative. As a more effective and naturally sound solution, living shorelines can improve water quality, provide habitat, increase biodiversity, and promote recreation.
As Sustainability is one of our core values, S & W Ready Mix Concrete has been thrilled to supply concrete to such a worthy effort in environmental stewardship. We are excited to provide concrete to Native Shorelines on their projects in the Carolinas, and also through our sister companies (Titan Florida & Titan Virginia Ready Mix) as they engage in projects along the eastern seaboard.
