These strategic yet simple structures allow you to achieve two important things capture free, and determine where it will build up on your property. When installed following environmental regulations, fences will capture sand uniformly and build a berm that is even in size and distribution. The native vegetation anchors the sand in place creating a powerful barrier that will delay and help stop destructive waves from reaching your property. For over 24 years, Dune Doctors has strategically installed sand fences to help residential, commercial, and government properties manage their eroding coastline and prepare for the next storm.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR WORK:
SAND IS HARD TO COME BY. USE SAND FENCES TO BUILD UP YOUR SAND RESERVES ON YOUR PROPERTY!
Sand is an expensive and limited resource, but proactive communities can use environmentally-compliant sand fences to trap free sand and build coastal dunes along their beachfront. This Florida 30A community worked with Dune Doctors to install sand fences and native vegetation. In under 2 years, they captured 2ft of sand across their property (700ft of beach width). This volume of sand they captured is worth over $100,000.00 at 2024's going market rate for beach-compatible sand in the Florida Panhandle
WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN YOUR SAND FENCE INSTALLATION?
A FEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT DUNE DOCTORS PARTNERS WITH TO ENSURE ENVIRONMENTALLY-COMPLIANT INSTALLATIONS:
When installed according to guidelines set by regulatory agencies, sand fences capture sand uniformly, building a dune that is even in height, width, and distribution across the entire property. Installation must follow regulatory guidelines to keep wildlife and beachgoers safe. Noncompliant installations can result in financial and legal consequences.
WHY ARE THERE SAND FENCES ON THE BEACH?
The evolution of the coastline depends on the cycle of sand accretion (accumulation of sand) and erosion (loss of sand), wind patterns, storm action, sand availability and other environmental conditions. However, because of the combination of natural and man-made factors, this cycle of sand loss and sand accumulation is often unbalanced, and many areas experience heightened erosion. To help coastal communities address sand loss, Dune Doctors works with regulatory agencies to install wildlife-friendly sand fences that are optimized to capture wind-blown and wave-pushed sand.
HOW DO SAND FENCES WORK AGAINST EROSION?
Following environmental regulations, Dune Doctors installs sand fences in alignment with the dominant coastal wind patterns that blow along the Gulf Coast. Moving sand collides with the fences and the particles drop, temporarily accumulating around the base of the fences. While effective in capturing sand, the fences alone cannot hold the sand in place. Therefore, to successfully stabilize the moving sand, native vegetation must be planted between the fences. As the fences capture new layers of sand, the plants (sea oats and other native beach plants) grow through it and anchor it in place with their massive, web-like root systems that can reach upwards of 35ft deep.
