Bulkhead & Seawall Services
Construction, repair and replacement of Florida bulkheads and seawalls, plus the assessments and shoreline work that go with them.
Who does the work
In Northeast Florida (Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Clay, Flagler and Putnam counties), Barefoot Marine Construction, the owner and operator of Florida Bulk Head, works with property owners directly. Elsewhere in Florida, we review each project for an independent participating contractor, subject to availability. How referrals work.
Bulkheads
Walls that retain soil along canals, rivers and lakes.
Bulkhead Construction
New soil-retaining walls for Florida canals, rivers and lakes, designed around retained height, soils, water type and access.
Bulkhead Repair
Targeted repairs for soil loss, open joints, clogged drainage, cap damage, failing tie-backs and scoured toes on existing bulkheads.
Bulkhead Replacement
Full replacement of a failing bulkhead: same line, new wall in front where permitted, or set back, with a fresh design and anchoring.
Seawalls
Walls built to resist waves, wakes and storm surge.
Seawall Construction
New seawalls for exposed Florida shorelines, designed around waves, wakes, currents, tides and storm surge rather than soil alone.
Seawall Repair
Repairs for seawalls hit by waves, wakes, salt and storms: spalls, cracks, cap and anchor damage, toe scour and post-storm triage.
Seawall Replacement
Replacing exposed seawalls that can no longer be repaired, with designs for current water levels, wave loads, scour and Florida permit rules.
Seawall Cap Repair
Crack sealing, spall repair and cap recasting for Florida seawalls, scoped around the cause of the damage.
Seawall Tieback Repair
Evaluation and repair of seawall tie rods, deadmen and anchors when a Florida wall starts to lean or pull away.
Shoreline & assessment
Condition assessments and shoreline protection beyond the wall.
Seawall Inspections
Contractor condition assessments of Florida seawalls and bulkheads, with clear guidance on when a licensed engineer is needed.
Erosion Control
Diagnosis and control of soil loss behind walls, bank erosion and runoff damage on Florida waterfront properties.
Shoreline Stabilization
Seawalls, revetments, living shorelines and hybrid approaches, matched to Florida site conditions and permitting.
Riprap Revetments
Sloped rock revetments and riprap toe protection in front of existing seawalls, planned for Florida exposure and rules.
