Maintaining the integrity of your seawall is critical so that it continues to effectively protect your property. Even the most robust structures can get damaged during severe weather conditions. Here is how to know if your structure is in need of repair or maintenance:
If you suspect that your seawall is in need of repair, contact our professionals at Summit Scapes Construction today.
Our seawall builders have 13 years of experience behind their belts to ensure you’re receiving the best of the best. Here’s a breakdown of our installation process:
New York State requires a permit to build a seawall. After the deposit is put down and you acquire the permits, our experts can get to work.
We'll start the project and remove the existing wall, and the base prep will begin.
Next, we install and compact the base.
Each block is hand-placed by our experts. We take our time during this process to ensure that each piece fits securely.
Lastly, we fill in the area behind the seawall with crushed stone and soil, regrade, and clean up the site.

Signs that you may need a seawall on your Central New York property include:
This is very rare because if we do see a seawall that is in disrepair or is failing, the safest thing to do is a complete replacement, as we don’t know how it was originally constructed.
Natural stone seawalls are ideal because they handle Central New York's seasonal changes very well. They are very durable, and they look very natural along your shoreline.
A seawall is built along a shoreline to hold back water and prevent erosion, while a retaining wall is usually used to hold back soil on a slope or terrace.
