Where we work

Waterfront Communities We Serve

Forty waterfront and boating communities across St. Johns and Duval counties. Conditions change enormously between them — which is why each one has its own pages rather than a shared template.

The First Coast, community by community

Marine construction on the First Coast is not one problem. A wall on the Intracoastal at Palm Valley is fighting continuous boat wake. A wall on the St. Johns at Mandarin is fighting wind-driven waves across miles of open water. A bank on Julington Creek is barely fighting anything, and the thing that will break a wall there is water trapped behind it.

That is why these pages exist. Each community has its own exposure, its own soils, its own access constraints and its own permitting picture, and an estimate written without knowing which of those apply is a guess.

We are based in Jacksonville at 10945 Patton Rd, which means our crews are not travelling half the state to reach your property.
