Vinyl and concrete seawalls, bulkheads, rip rap and shoreline stabilization designed for Gulf Coast soil, wake, surge and drainage.
Overview
Losing a few feet of bank every storm season is not something that fixes itself. We install vinyl and concrete seawalls, place riprap revetment, and build living shorelines that hold sediment in place while still looking like a natural bank.
We find out what is actually moving the soil before quoting a wall.
Wall type, depth and tie-back spacing matched to your soil and exposure.
Sheet piling driven, capped and backfilled with proper drainage.
Grading, sod and cleanup so the yard looks finished, not excavated.
Sinkholes behind the cap, soil washing through joints, leaning panels, cracks, exposed tie rods and a wall that moves under load all point to failure below the surface. We inspect the wall, toe, cap, tie-backs and drainage before recommending repair or replacement.
New seawalls are matched to the shoreline exposure, soil and usable-yard requirements. We set panels to the required embedment, install anchors and tie-backs, pour or repair the cap, correct drainage, backfill and restore the disturbed ground.
Bulkheads hold upland soil in place around canals, bays and protected water. We replace failed panels, caps and returns, rebuild anchoring systems and install filter fabric and drainage so fill does not continue escaping through the wall.
Rip rap absorbs wave energy and works well on sloped banks, at seawall toes and along shorelines where a hard vertical wall is unnecessary. Stone is sized and placed over filter fabric to a stable slope, with grading or vegetation added where appropriate.
A sound wall with localized cap, panel, tie-back or drainage problems can often be repaired. Widespread panel failure, loss of embedment, severe leaning or recurring washout usually makes replacement the better investment. We explain the evidence before pricing either option.
Our seawall crews work from Pensacola and Gulf Breeze through Navarre, Destin and 30A, including Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties.

In coastal Alabama we build and repair seawalls, bulkheads and rip rap throughout Baldwin County.

Seawalls are priced by the running foot, but the number behind that foot depends on wall height, soil, exposure and whether the existing wall can be saved. Repairing a sound wall is a fraction of replacing it — the trick is knowing which you have.

Sinkholes usually mean soil is escaping through failed joints, cracks, drainage openings or beneath the wall. Repair has to stop that soil loss, not only fill the hole.
Often. Cap repairs, panel replacement, tie-back work, drainage correction and rip rap at the toe can extend a structurally sound wall's life.
It depends on the shoreline. Rip rap absorbs wave energy and suits a sloped bank; a seawall preserves the most usable yard where a vertical retaining line is needed.
Most new walls and significant replacements do. Requirements depend on the waterway and jurisdiction, and we coordinate the needed submittals as part of the project.
