If you are responsible for a beachfront condo or resort, you take seriously the safety and value of the property under your care. Dune Science Group dune restoration for condo and resorts can help you do both.
We can improve the resiliency, coastal storm protection and aesthetic beauty of your dunes while providing user-friendly beach accesses that reflect the luxury standards of your property with the added peace of mind of reducing the risk of flood damage from storms and sea level rise for all of the structures under your care.
Dune Walkovers
The first impression beachgoers at your property receive is their access to the beach. The Dune Science Group designs and manages installation of dune walkovers using a specially engineered material far superior to pressure treated woods. The beauty and luxury feel our proprietary walkovers, ramps and stairs reflects the prestige of your property.
Being responsible for cost, you will appreciate that our designs and materials last three to five times longer than traditional wooden versions and require little to no maintenance to keep up their as-built luxury look and feel.
Our best-in-class walkovers will not splinter, crack, have screws pop up or create other trip hazards for your members or guests. To satisfy your environmental stewardship goals, they also do not require placing toxic preservatives in the dunes or near the water as is the case with pressure treated lumber.
Our walkover configuration will provide the maximum convenience for your guests while providing the maximum protection for the dune during construction and long after.

Dune restoration and resiliency
Resort guests and condo owners have a great appreciation for the beauty and unique habitat coastal dunes provide. The Dune Science Group’s proven, nature-based dune restoration for condo and resorts incorporates a wholistic approach to rebuilding your dune. Our dune restoration method features a complete assessment of the property before any work begins where we’ll discuss with you the specific needs and challenges of your property. We then design a tailored plan featuring our suite of dune restoration tools including access to a full range of native plants evolved to thrive in the dunes at your locale.
In addition to protection from storm surge, sea level rise and beach erosion, our use of native plants recreates the beauty of virgin dune ecosystems, while providing habitat for shore birds, sea turtles, butterflies and hummingbirds. Your friends, guests and members will long remember the natural encounters they shared with dune wildlife.
Our native dune vegetation helps to rebuild and grow the strongest possible frontal dunes to reduce your risk of storm flooding of the property. Native plants “anchor” dunes with their remarkably deep root systems.
Our work continues through installation of your new dune resiliency system to include regular follow up and any periodic maintenance that may be required following subsequent storms.
