Beach Sanding

Installation. Repair. Maintenance.

Bring The Beach To Your Backyard

Michigan's Trusted Waterfront Specialist

Beach sanding is an essential process for maintaining a healthy and stable shoreline, especially in areas prone to erosion. Over time, natural forces such as waves, currents, and storms can wash away sand, leading to shoreline recession and reduced beach usability. By replenishing the sand, beach sanding helps restore lost land, creating a buffer that protects against further erosion and property damage. This added layer of sand also helps absorb wave energy, reducing the impact of high tides and storms on nearby structures and landscapes. Without regular beach sanding, waterfront properties can become more vulnerable to erosion, leading to costly repairs and loss of valuable land.

In addition to shoreline protection, beach sanding enhances recreational and environmental benefits. A well-maintained beach provides a safer and more enjoyable space for swimming, sunbathing, and other waterfront activities. It also supports local ecosystems by providing a stable habitat for native plants and animals that rely on sandy shores. By maintaining a healthy beach through sanding, property owners and communities can ensure long-term enjoyment and environmental sustainability of their shoreline. Investing in beach sanding not only preserves the natural beauty of the waterfront but also contributes to the overall health and resilience of the shoreline.

Incredible job!!! The entire team was professional and they transformed our seawall and the surrounding area to a like new condition. The seawall was significantly heaved from years of winter but they were able to drive it back into position and add the tiebacks to make it durable going forward!! I would highly recommend SMP, when they finished they cleaned and swept all the areas that they used to stage the material. Very professional and awesome to do business with!! PT

Steve was great to work with. Kept us updated through the whole process since we were out of town during the installation. Very professional and thorough. The seawall transformation is awesome and we are getting lots of compliments on it. Highly recommend Steve and SMP Contracting for your next seawall.

Michael Haupfear Review

SMP (Steve) was very professional from his initial meeting through cleanup and everything in between. The workmanship on the steel retaining wall is a work of art and he was able to transform the area around my barn into a 100% usable area while providing the reinforcement that the framing of the barn required. I had high expectations for this project and he exceeded them with the end result. You would not go wrong by using SMP Contracting on your next job.

Scott Vander Ploeg Review

Steve and his team went out of their way to make our timeframe worked despite the weather this summer. Steve is methodical with the layout and engineering. Pricing was overly competitive to the competition and we are very happy that we landed with SMP. This retaining wall is going nowhere for a century. And it holds our entire house and driveway up. Pictures to come. They were as immaculate with prep and cleanup, as they were price and timeframe. Thank you SMP.
