Stream & Shoreline Restoration
Cardinal State, LLC specializes in restoring degraded stream systems, shorelines, and ravines to achieve a more balanced, stabilized system. Our restoration work reduces soil erosion and sediment influx via bank stabilization, encourages de-channelization when possible, increases the systems capacity to handle changes in flow via the installation of flood plains and wetlands, increases and improves aquatic and riparian zone habitats, reintroduces native species to the system, and improves runoff and stormwater quality.
