New Seawall Construction
Engineered seawall installation for waterfront lots that don't yet have shoreline protection in place.
Call (561) 555-0147Some waterfront lots have never had a proper seawall — relying instead on a natural bank that's slowly eroding with every tide and wake. Building a new seawall protects your land, adds usable yard space, and often increases property value by giving you a stable edge to dock a boat or build a seawall-side patio.
We design and build new seawalls from scratch: surveying the property line and water depth, engineering a wall suited to the soil and tidal conditions, and handling permitting before a single piling goes in the ground.
Signs You May Need This Service
- Your property currently has a natural, unprotected bank
- You're seeing active erosion eating into your yard
- You're developing or subdividing a waterfront lot
- You want to add a dock but have no bulkhead to anchor it to
- Neighboring properties have seawalls and yours doesn't
Our Process
Survey & site evaluation
We confirm the property line, water depth, and soil composition to determine the right wall type and depth for your lot.
Engineering & permitting
A wall design is engineered for your specific conditions and submitted for county, state, and where applicable, federal permitting.
Piling & panel installation
Sheet piling or panels are driven to the engineered depth, followed by tieback rods and deadmen anchors for long-term stability.
Cap pour & backfill
We finish with a reinforced cap and properly compacted backfill, leaving you with a clean, usable shoreline edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build a seawall anywhere on my waterfront property?
Placement is governed by your property line and permitting requirements, including setbacks and environmental review. We handle the survey and permitting work to confirm exactly what's allowed on your lot.
Is it cheaper to build a new seawall than to keep repairing an eroding bank?
In most cases, yes, over time. Continued erosion often means recurring costs for fill, landscaping, and eventually emergency stabilization — a properly built seawall stops that cycle.
What's the difference between a seawall and riprap for a new shoreline?
A seawall (vertical bulkhead) maximizes usable yard space and works well for docking boats. Riprap (sloped rock) is often lower-cost and effective for wave energy dissipation but uses more of the shoreline footprint. We'll help you weigh both for your property.
