Shore Protect Team provides shoreline erosion control, dock and pier construction, retaining wall installation, and waterfront structure repair for waterfront properties on Toledo Bend Reservoir in Sabine, Shelby, and Newton counties on the Texas-Louisiana border. Toledo Bend is the largest reservoir on the Texas-Louisiana state line - jointly managed by the reservoir authority of Texas and the reservoir authority of Louisiana under a bi-state compact, it is the fifth largest reservoir in the United States by surface area.
Toledo Bend's vast surface area - over 180,000 acres at full pool - allows sustained winds to build substantial wave heights on exposed shoreline sections, and the reservoir's irregular shape creates diverse fetch distances across its different arms and coves. Exposed north-facing and west-facing shoreline sections on Toledo Bend in Sabine and Newton counties face the most energetic wave conditions that require retaining walls for bank protection. Cove and sheltered locations have lower wave energy and can use lighter bank protection. Shore Protect Team evaluates the specific wave fetch and exposure at each Toledo Bend property before sizing bank protection systems.
