Materials we build with.
A seawall is the most consequential build on your property. Get it wrong and you'll lose 6 feet of yard a winter. Get it right and your great-grandchildren will inherit the same shoreline you bought. We build with three primary systems depending on water depth, wave energy, and your site's elevation: steel, vinyl, and stone revetment.
Every seawall project starts with a site survey, an EGLE permit application, and a written engineered plan that accounts for ice push, wave height, and the unique challenges of Lake Michigan's southern shore. Our crews handle excavation, sheet driving, tieback installation, capping, and the backfill grading that turns a wall into a yard.
Steel Sheet Pile
The standard for Lake Michigan's open-coast properties. Z-profile steel sheets driven to refusal, with concrete cap and tieback anchors. Engineered for 50+ year service life.
Vinyl Sheet Pile
Lighter, more cost-efficient, and ideal for inland lakes and lower-energy bays. Won't corrode and matches well with composite caps.
Stone Revetment
Boulders placed at engineered angles to absorb wave energy. The right call for slope-protected shorelines and projects where aesthetics matter as much as function.
