Bulkhead Construction & Repair
A bulkhead is quietly doing one of the most important jobs on your property — holding your yard in the ground. When it fails, you lose land, not just a wall, which is why we treat bulkhead work as structural, not cosmetic.

FAQ
Bulkhead Construction & Repair Questions
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically a bulkhead primarily retains soil, while a seawall is designed to also absorb wave energy from open water. In practice, most residential 'seawalls' on rivers and canals function as bulkheads.
