Seawalls & Shoreline Protection That Actually Hold
When the last major hurricanes hit Tampa Bay, something telling happened. Many seawalls failed up and down the waterfront, but not ours. While competitors were fielding calls about collapsed and damaged seawalls, every March Marine Construction seawall stood. That's not luck. That's the result of doing the job right, using the right materials, and never cutting corners on the most important structure protecting your waterfront property.
We want to be upfront about one thing: we are not the cheapest option. March Marine seawalls cost more because they are built carefully, with better materials, and with more direct oversight than what most contractors provide. If you're looking for the lowest bid, we're probably not your company. If you're looking for a seawall that will still be standing after the next storm, call us.
Seawall Solutions We Build
Every shoreline is different. Water depth, soil conditions, wave energy, and regulatory requirements all factor into which solution is right for your property.
Vinyl seawalls are our most common residential installation. Low maintenance, highly durable, and resistant to corrosion and marine organisms, vinyl is an excellent long-term solution for most Tampa Bay waterfront properties.
Wood seawalls remain a strong option in the right conditions and are built with the same care and attention to detail as every other structure we construct.
We cap every seawall with either concrete or composite material for added protection and a clean finished appearance.
Rip rap shoreline protection uses natural or manufactured rock to absorb wave energy and stabilize eroding shorelines. It's a highly effective and often more natural-looking alternative to a traditional seawall, particularly for larger properties or areas with less intense wave action.
Hybrid solutions combine two or more of these approaches to address complex shoreline conditions. Some sites call for a seawall in one section and rip rap in another. We design and build whatever combination gives your property the best long-term protection.
Upland retaining walls protect the land behind your seawall from erosion and slippage. Often overlooked, the upland structure is just as important as the seawall itself in keeping your property intact during heavy rain and storm surge events.
Built Under Direct Supervision and Expertise
Don't trust your most valuable asset to a team of subs. Our contractor personally stays on site through much of every seawall construction project. That level of direct oversight is rare in this industry, and it is a significant reason why our seawalls perform the way they do. In addition, we also hold seawall contracts with government entities throughout Florida.
Every Seawall Is Fully Permitted
We handle all required permits and manage the complete regulatory process from start to finish. You will never be left with an unpermitted seawall that creates legal or financial problems down the road.
