Lakeshore
Lakeshore Restoration
Erosion, ice push and wave action wear a shoreline down. We rebuild it into a stable bank and a shore you can actually use.

What we do
Shoreline, stone and snow, all from one company.
We work on lake homes and cabins, houses in town, and businesses that can’t close for a snowstorm. If it sits on a shoreline, it’s built from stone, or it’s buried in snow, it’s our kind of work.

Lakeshore restoration
Your shoreline takes a beating every year. We build it back to last.
Every lake treats its shoreline differently. A big, open lake sends bigger waves into the bank. Some shores get shoved by ice every spring. A shore that faces the wind takes more of both.
That’s why every job starts with your shoreline, not a stock design. We look at how much ice it sees, how hard the waves hit and how steep the bank is, then choose rip rap, boulders or both, sized to match.
- Rip rap installation and repair
- Boulder shoreline walls and edges
- Erosion and ice-damage repair
- Work done from the water with our barge
Working at the water’s edge? Minnesota has rules for shoreline work. We’ll walk you through what applies to your property before anything gets built.

About Cornerstone
Thirty years of Minnesota ground and water.
Cornerstone Industries, Inc. is owned by Tim Lovett, who has spent 30 years doing landscaping, lakeshore restoration and snow removal in Minnesota.
Thirty years is a lot of spring ice-outs, freeze-thaw cycles and January storms. It’s how you learn which shorelines hold, which walls move and what a patio needs underneath to stay flat. That experience goes into every job we take on.
Spring through fall we’re building shorelines and stonework. Come winter, we’re keeping properties clear. One company, all year.
