Lakeshore Restoration · Twin Cities, MN
We restore Minnesota lakefronts the right way.
Invasive weeds, eroded banks, mucky beaches, overgrown shorelines. We handle all of it. Shore Restore is a full lakeshore restoration company serving the Twin Cities metro.
Booking now for the season. Spots fill up fast.
We pull invasive weeds out by the root using manual and mechanical methods. No herbicides, no shortcuts. Milfoil, pondweed, lily pads, algae mats. If it's taking over your lake we can get rid of it.
Native plants along your shoreline do a lot more than look good. They hold the bank in place, filter runoff before it hits the water, and crowd out the weeds over time. We handle the design and installation from start to finish.
Years of muck and weeds can make a beach completely unusable. We clean it out, clear the waterline, and bring the sand back so your family actually wants to swim off it again.
If your bank is washing away every spring, that is not something to ignore. We install root systems, riprap, and native ground cover that stops the erosion and holds your shoreline in place for the long term.
We come out to your property, walk your shoreline, and tell you exactly what we see. You get a written plan and quote at the end of it. No charge.
You get a clear written quote with everything spelled out. No vague estimates, no surprises when the invoice comes.
We show up on time and get to work. Whether that is pulling weeds, planting natives, fixing erosion, or restoring a beach we keep things tidy and respect your property.
Weeds come back. That is just the reality. We offer seasonal maintenance so you stay ahead of it and do not end up back at square one every summer.

We had given up on our beach after years of milfoil. Shore Restore cleared it out in two visits and we swam off our dock for the first time in years.
Lake Minnetonka
They looked at our whole shoreline not just the weeds. Turned out we had an erosion issue we did not even know about. They fixed that too and planted native grasses that look amazing.
Prior Lake
Super easy to work with and very thorough. Our beach honestly looks better now than when we bought the place.

Some projects do require approvals depending on what we are doing and where. We know what is typically needed and will walk you through it and handle as much as we can on your end.
Never. We only use manual and mechanical methods. No herbicides, no chemicals at all. That is not something we will ever compromise on.
It depends on what you need. Weed removal works best mid-season. Planting is best in spring or early fall. Beach and erosion work can happen pretty much anytime. We will let you know the best window when we come out.
Every job is different so we do not do flat rate pricing. We come out, see what we are working with, and give you a written quote. What you see on that quote is what you pay.
Honestly they can, especially on busy lakes where weeds spread from boat traffic and neighboring properties. That is why we offer seasonal maintenance plans so you stay ahead of it instead of dealing with it all over again each year.
Yes, that is one of the main things we do. We clear out the muck and weeds at the waterline and bring the sand back. We will take a look at your specific situation when we come out and tell you what makes sense.
We come out to your property, walk the shoreline with you, and put together a real written plan with pricing. Reaching out does not commit you to anything.

We come out, walk your shoreline, and tell you exactly what we see. Free quote, no strings attached.
Weed removal, shoreline planting, beach restoration, erosion control. We handle all of it so you do not have to piece together multiple contractors.
Invasive plants spread fast and they do not go away on their own. We remove them manually and mechanically, right down to the root. No herbicides ever. Your lake ends up clean, clear and safe to swim in.
Native plants along your bank do a lot of work quietly. They filter runoff, hold the soil together, keep weeds from coming back, and honestly just look a lot better than mowed grass running to the water. We design and plant everything to fit your property.
Muck, weeds, and years of sediment can make a beach completely unusable. We clean it out and bring the sand back so you can actually enjoy the lake you are paying to live on.
Erosion is easy to ignore until it is not. If your bank is losing ground every year that adds up to real property loss over time. We install root systems, native plants and riprap that stop it and hold your shoreline in place.
Transparent pricing
You always get a free written quote before anything starts.
We come out, see the property, and write up exactly what the job involves and what it costs. No guessing, no surprises.
Shore Restore was started by two Minnesotans who grew up on the water. We got tired of watching our favorite lakes get worse every year and decided to actually do something about it.
Bo
Co-Founder · Operations & Field Work
Bo grew up on Minnesota lakes and has a background in environmental science. He handles the fieldwork and knows invasive species, native plants, and lake ecosystems inside and out.
Mathias
Co-Founder · Client Relations & Planning
Mathias grew up on a lake in the Twin Cities and watched firsthand how much a neglected shoreline can affect both your enjoyment and your property value. He handles client relationships and makes sure every project runs smoothly from the first call to the final walkthrough.
We did not start Shore Restore to build a big company. We started it because we love these lakes and kept watching the same problems get worse every summer. Weeds spreading, beaches turning to muck, banks washing away. We knew how to fix it so we just started doing it.
We got licensed, got insured, and built the business around everything a lake homeowner actually needs. Not just weed removal. All of it. Done properly by people who genuinely care how it turns out.
These are our lakes too. We treat every property like it is our own.

If something is not right after we leave, we come back and fix it. Simple as that.
Clear timelines, no surprises, and we see things through. Your lakefront matters too much to rush through.
No chemicals, native plants, methods that work with the ecosystem instead of against it. Every decision we make keeps the long term health of the lake in mind.
We explain what we are doing and why before we do it. You should know the plan and understand the work, not just get a bill at the end.
There is a lot to figure out between the approvals, the species, the timing and the logistics. We handle all of that so the whole thing is as easy as possible for you.
Start with a free consultation. We walk your property and put a plan together. No pressure at all.
