Retaining and sea walls are designed to protect shorelines and waterfront properties from erosion, flooding, and wave damage. They create a strong barrier that stabilizes the soil, prevents property loss, and helps maintain the structure and safety of your landscape.
With proper installation and maintenance, sea walls and riprap structures can last several decades. The lifespan depends on factors like the materials used, environmental conditions, and regular upkeep. High-quality materials and professional construction ensure maximum durability and protection.
A sea wall is a solid structure—usually made of concrete, steel, or treated wood—designed to create a strong, vertical barrier against water. Riprap, on the other hand, uses large stones or rock placed along the shoreline to absorb and deflect wave energy. Both offer effective erosion control, and the best option depends on your property’s needs and shoreline conditions.
