Regulations

Good to know before you ask

Work on seawalls and bulkheads in navigable waters usually needs permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the state and the local government, and plans by a licensed engineer. Permits take time: start early.

Some states encourage living shorelines instead of hard walls where conditions allow. We do not perform the work ourselves and do not show prices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to repair a seawall?

Often yes, depending on the scope: repairs and replacements in tidal waters usually need state and federal authorizations, and a local permit.

How long does a seawall last?

Decades with maintenance, depending on the material, exposure and drainage. Inspect it regularly.

What is a living shoreline?

A shoreline protected with natural materials such as plants, sand or oyster reefs, sometimes combined with rock, instead of a vertical wall.
