Scope of Work

To meet these objectives, CK Contractors delivered a comprehensive restoration that included:

• Installation of a riprap/rock revetment using 1- to 8-ton granite boulders
• Construction of a usable beachfront area
• Design continuity with adjacent shoreline treatments to preserve the visual and environmental integrity of the surrounding area

Design and Collaboration

The project design was a joint effort between CK Contractors and the property owner. Special attention was given to aligning the restoration style, materials, and layout with those of adjacent shoreline properties, ensuring a seamless and natural look across the broader lakeshore.

Materials and Techniques

Heavy granite boulders were used to build the rock revetment, providing long-lasting protection against wave energy and erosion. This time-tested approach offers both durability and a natural aesthetic that harmonizes with the lakefront environment and neighboring projects.

Regulatory Compliance

All required permits were obtained before construction began, including:

• An access permit from the Village of Pleasant Prairie
• Environmental approvals from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Timeline and Budget

The project was completed over a two-month period and was delivered on schedule and within budget.

Challenges and Solutions

Weather posed a challenge, particularly late winter conditions with occasional snow, which made lake conditions too choppy for safe or effective work on some days. CK Contractors responded with flexibility, pausing work during poor weather and resuming as conditions allowed to maintain safety and progress.

Outcome

The finished shoreline is now structurally sound, erosion-resistant, and visually cohesive with its surroundings. The homeowner gained a safe and attractive beachfront that enhances both function and property value, all with the reassurance it aligns with and complements the lakeshore’s broader restoration efforts.
