A seawall is a massive protective structure that withstands wave impact and protects the shoreline from destruction. Unlike a bulkhead, a seawall is designed for more intensive wave loads and is often used in coastal zones, on open water bodies, and areas where storms and waves pose a serious threat to property.
Shore Protect Team LLC builds seawalls from reinforced concrete, gabions, metal, natural stone, and combined materials. Each project is designed individually considering wave height, wind direction, shoreline type, and local building code requirements. We work on coastal areas, large lakes, and open water bodies with increased wave activity.
Our team has experience constructing protective walls for both private coastal properties and large commercial projects for marinas, yacht clubs, and industrial facilities. We use modern excavation equipment, properly calculate foundations, and provide drainage systems to prevent groundwater pressure and extend structure lifespan.
We provide a warranty on all work and consult on selecting the optimal structure type for your property. Free specialist consultation and preliminary estimate for seawall construction.

Explore the gallery of our completed projects, demonstrating the quality of shoreline protection work. Among completed projects, you will find examples of seawall construction from reinforced concrete, natural stone, gabions, and vinyl materials for Gulf Coast waterfront areas. As marine construction specialists, we create protective structures that withstand hurricanes, storm surges, and constant wave action. Whether you need consultation on choosing the optimal protective wall type, construction cost calculation, or emergency restoration after a hurricane - our completed work confirms the ability to design and build durable structures that reliably protect waterfront property in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Wood seawalls: From $150 per linear foot. Economical protective walls made from pressure-treated lumber for waterfront areas with moderate wave activity.
Vinyl seawalls: From $200 per linear foot. Durable vinyl structures resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and require no regular maintenance.
Concrete seawalls: From $300 per linear foot. Monolithic reinforced concrete walls of maximum strength for coastal areas exposed to hurricanes.
Stone seawalls: From $150 per linear foot. Large natural boulders dissipate wave energy and create natural shoreline protection from erosion.
Gabion seawalls: From $250 per linear foot. Gabion structures with rock fill provide flexible shoreline protection and natural water drainage.
Wood seawalls: Optimal for waterfront areas with moderate wave activity. Economical solution on a limited budget.
Vinyl seawalls: Suitable for areas where durability without regular maintenance is important. Resistant to corrosion and UV radiation.
Concrete seawalls: Ideal for Gulf Coast areas exposed to hurricanes. Monolithic reinforced walls of maximum strength withstand intense wave loads.
Stone seawalls: Essential on open water bodies where storms and waves create serious threats. Natural boulders dissipate wave energy and naturally protect the shoreline.
Gabion seawalls: Effective for areas requiring flexible protection with natural drainage. Rock fill provides reliable protection from erosion.
Material selection: Wood and stone from $150/ft, vinyl from $200/ft, gabions from $250/ft, concrete from $300/ft. Each material is designed for different wave loads.
Wave intensity: Open water bodies and coastal areas with storms require more massive structures. Wave height and wind direction determine seawall type.
Structure height: Seawalls higher than 4-6 feet require reinforced foundation and additional reinforcement, increasing cost by 30-50%.
Shoreline type: Open waterfront areas require stronger structures than protected bays or enclosed water bodies.
Foundation and drainage: Proper foundation design and drainage system installation prevent groundwater pressure and extend structure service life.
Soil characteristics: Soft silty soils require deeper foundation. Rocky formations complicate excavation and require special equipment.
Wall length: Seawall length directly affects material quantity and scope of work. Projects over 100 feet may receive per-foot discount.
Site accessibility: Limited equipment access for excavation inc
