Hi everyone. I'm new here. We dug a 5 acre lake last summer and are waiting for it to fill. We added two large beaches with landscape fabric on each. I have read a few other threads of some people creating berms at the base of their beach to help prevent sand loss. I am getting close to running out of time for getting a berm put in but noted that some users have used concrete blocks but that makes me nervous since I will be having a pier pretty close to my beach. Could I not just pile a 12 inch clay berm instead along the bottom of the beach and pack that down? I presume there would also need to be a cut or groove somewhere in the middle of the berm to allow water runoff from the beach. Otherwise I would guess there would be some erosion. Any tips are welcome!
