During this period, Nigel found many landowners that shared his passion to improve our coastal areas but with limited access to contractors specializing in Living Shorelines designs, permitting and installation. The creation of Alabama Living Shorelines, LLC in 2018 was a response to this need with the goal of helping environmentally-conscious property owners address coastal challenges. In this pursuit, we leverage a combined 20+ years experience in residential construction and landscaping, and over 8 years research experience to deliver structurally- and environmentally-sound restoration and Living Shorelines projects for our clients. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ad76eab0f7c0001a73023/1566594909803-4CMM9BXCLV718DLFESOD/Heard.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ad76eab0f7c0001a73023/1566595145733-Z19VG7ISBGCO1I0OE16F/ALS+logo3.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d5ad76eab0f7c0001a73023/1566413133443-2OC25NWAAJO6S2FM3BJJ/Heard2.jpg Home - Completed Projects Every site has a unique set of conditions and may require different design features and permitting approaches.
