Tim this is great and useful information and I am very happy that there are people out there that can provide pertinent information within minutes or just a couple of hours. loads of information. However, you brought up a good point regarding man-made lake or what we call here retention pond. So far, the home owner has had to bear the cost of fixing the erosion. It's been left to the home owner to fix it the best way he can. I protested on behalf of the homeowner stating that the Board should have consulted with an engineer. Also, there are currently a number of plants that can be used to stabilize the ground from eroding. There are many options. But concrete is not the best unless it's covered with dirt and sodded. Unfortunately, They listen to neither recommendations. So, our lake shoreline have been fill with broken concrete blocks, some even come in color. They have taken away the beauty of the appearance of the lake.
