Seawall Installation
Protect Your Property with Expert Seawall Services
A seawall protects your waterfront property from erosion and storm surge.
If you're new to waterfront living, think of it as the foundation that keeps your land from washing away. Waves, tides, and storms constantly push against your shoreline—a seawall is the engineered barrier that pushes back.
If you've owned waterfront property before, you already know what happens without proper protection. You've seen the cracks, the erosion behind the wall, or watched soil disappear after a storm. You know a seawall isn't optional—it's essential.
Whether this is your first seawall or you're replacing an old one, the construction matters. A properly engineered seawall handles Florida's unique challenges: hurricane-force storm surge, saltwater corrosion, and the relentless wave action that wears down inferior installations.
We're the only marine contractor offering a True Price Guarantee on seawall installation. No surprise costs, no change orders, just the price we quote, hurricane-resistant construction, and a seawall built to protect your property for decades.

Everything You Need To Know About Seawalls
Protect Your Waterfront Investment
Protect Your Investment. Increase Your Property Value.
A new seawall from Crocker Marine Services does more than stop erosion. It protects what you've built and makes your waterfront property worth more. Here's what a professionally engineered seawall delivers:
Immediate Protection. Storm surge, rising tides, and shoreline erosion don't stand a chance. Your land stays intact, your structures stay safe.
Higher Property Value. Southwest Florida buyers know what matters. A quality seawall means stability, and stability commands premium pricing. Real estate pros will tell you that waterfront properties with proper shoreline protection sell faster and appraise higher.
Long-Term Confidence. You're not just protecting land. You're securing an investment that buyers recognize and pay for.
Quality seawall construction isn't optional for serious waterfront property owners. It's the difference between a property that holds value and one that loses ground, literally.
What a Seawall Does
The only marine contractor offering a True Price Guarantee on seawall installation.
No surprise costs, no change orders, just transparent pricing and hurricane-resistant construction you can trust.
A seawall is a protective barrier constructed along your waterfront property to prevent erosion, protect against storm surge, and maintain your property’s structural integrity.
Unlike basic retaining walls, professional seawalls are engineered to withstand the unique challenges of marine environments.
Storm Protection Benefits
You’ve got two proven choices: concrete or vinyl panels. Concrete offers maximum strength and longevity, ideal for high-exposure areas. Vinyl provides flexibility and corrosion resistance at a lower cost. We’ll assess your shoreline conditions, wave action, and soil type to recommend the right material for lasting protection.

Sign You May Need A Seawall
Watch for these red flags:
- Visible cracks or fissures in the wall
- Leaning or bowing sections
- Separation at joints or corners
- Erosion behind or beneath the wall
- Exposed or rusted steel reinforcement
If you see any of these, your property is at risk. Get it assessed before the next storm season.
Maintenance & Lifespan
A well-built seawall lasts 20-30+ years with minimal maintenance. Annual inspections catch small issues before they become expensive failures. Check for cracks, joint integrity, and erosion after every storm season. Proactive repairs extend your seawall’s life and protect your investment.
Alternative Seawall Options
Know Your Options Before You Build
Not every waterfront property requires a traditional concrete or vinyl seawall, and in some areas of Southwest Florida, alternative shoreline protection methods are permitted or even required by local ordinance. At Crocker Marine Services, we help property owners understand all their options upfront, so you make the right choice for your land, your budget, and your long-term protection. That starts with knowing what the regulations allow and what they don't.
Understanding Alternative Seawall Regulations in Southwest Florida
Shoreline protection rules in Southwest Florida aren't one-size-fits-all. Requirements differ significantly depending on your municipality, your water type, and your lot's classification.
In Cape Coral, for example, some form of shore hardening is required before building on a vacant lot. Properties on saltwater canals are generally limited to concrete seawalls, while freshwater lots may qualify for sloped banks or rip rap. In parts of Lee County, rip rap placement comes with additional restrictions depending on the waterway. Understanding these rules before breaking ground isn't just smart, it's essential.
Our team knows these regulations inside and out. We'll assess your property, consult on your eligibility, and recommend the right solution the first time...no surprises, no wasted time.
The Real Costs of Going "Alternative"
Alternative seawall options were once seen as a straightforward way to save money. That's no longer the case. Increased regulatory requirements, permitting complexity, and ongoing maintenance demands have brought the true cost of sloped banks and rip rap much closer to — and in some cases exceeding — the cost of a properly installed concrete seawall.
Before assuming an alternative method is your most affordable path, talk to us. We'll give you a clear, honest comparison so you're not making a decision based on outdated assumptions. And because of our True Price Guarantee — no change orders, no hidden costs — what we quote is what you pay.
Not Sure What Your Property Qualifies For?
That's exactly why we're here. Our estimators know the regulations across every jurisdiction we serve...from Cape Coral and Fort Myers to Naples, Sarasota, and everywhere in between. We'll walk your property, review your lot's requirements, and give you a straight answer about which shoreline protection options are on the table.
