Living Shorelines That Stop Erosion and Protect Your Property
Living Shorelines That Stop Erosion and Protect Your Property
Across Broward County, lake banks, retention ponds, and canal edges are quietly giving way. Every storm and season of runoff carries more soil into the water, leaving steep, unstable banks that creep toward sidewalks, cart paths, pool decks, and lawns.
Bloom Landscaping repairs the damage with a bioengineered living shoreline. ShoreSOX rebuilds the eroded bank, stabilizes it the day it is installed, and creates a solid foundation for sod and plantings. The result is a natural, refined edge instead of a recurring repair: lake bank erosion repair and canal bank restoration designed to endure.
A Certified SOX Service Provider in Broward County
Bloom Landscaping is a Certified SOX Erosion Solutions Service Provider, trained to install the patented ShoreSOX living shoreline system. We chose SOX because we believe it is the best shoreline erosion control product in the industry.
ShoreSOX is an open-ended containment system filled with locally sourced soil. It halts erosion and re-stabilizes shorelines and slopes immediately, then grows stronger as roots take hold, giving every property a firm, natural-looking edge.
As a certified provider, our crew installs the system the way it was designed to perform, and our landscape design-build team finishes the restored bank so it blends into the rest of your property.

Why Choose a Living Shoreline Over Riprap or a Seawall?
Riprap and seawalls armor a bank but do little for the landscape around it. Rock shifts and settles, concrete is costly to build and repair, and neither supports the plant life that naturally holds soil in place. A living shoreline works with nature instead of against it. Broward County actively encourages living shoreline approaches in its resilience planning, and University of Florida research shows living shorelines typically cost a fraction of armored alternatives per linear foot.
Reclaims Lost Land
ShoreSOX rebuilds the eroded bank back to its original line with locally sourced soil, recovering ground that storms and runoff have carried into the water. You get usable yard, turf, and common area back instead of a shrinking edge.
Less Edge Erosion
The mesh and vegetation slow the water moving against the bank, so waves, runoff, and changing water levels have less force to wear the edge away. Less wear means fewer recurring repairs year after year.
Permeable by Design
The knitted mesh lets water drain through the bank and gives roots room to grow straight through it. Water moves naturally instead of building up behind the shoreline or washing out the soil.
Better Water Quality
As water moves through the rebuilt bank, the soil and plant roots filter out excess nutrients and pollutants before they reach the water. Community lakes, stormwater ponds, and golf course water features stay clearer and healthier over time.
Deep-Rooted Growth
Sod and native, South Florida-adapted plantings root down through the system, and every season of growth locks the soil more firmly in place. The shoreline gets stronger as it matures.
A Natural Look
A planted, green edge blends into the landscape far more gracefully than rock or concrete. Bloom designs the finish to flow into your lawn, beds, and surrounding grounds.
How the ShoreSOX 5-Part System Works
Five components work together to rebuild the bank and keep it in place for the long term.
- Technical Mesh: a durable knitted mesh forms the new bank while letting water and roots pass through.
- Anchors: secure the system into stable ground behind the bank.
- Tethering: ropes connect the mesh to the anchors, holding its shape as water levels rise and fall.
- Fill Material: locally sourced soil rebuilds the bank to its intended line.
- Vegetation: sod and native, South Florida-adapted plantings root through the system, designed by Bloom to flow into the rest of your landscape.
