Our Services

Comprehensive waterfront solutions for homes and commercial properties across Oakland County.

Seawall Construction & Repair

Seawalls protect lakefront and canal-front homes from erosion and wave damage. We build new seawalls or repair existing ones using vinyl, steel, concrete, or natural stone. Each wall is engineered to handle ice pressure and water level fluctuations common on West Bloomfield, Walled Lake, and Waterford properties.

Repair work includes welding damaged steel, replacing failed sections, and reinforcing weak drainage systems. We also add caps and decking to extend shoreline usability.

Engineered retaining wall preventing erosion in Waterford Township

Upland retaining walls stabilize slopes on residential and commercial lots. We design walls that handle soil pressure, water runoff, and Oakland County freeze-thaw cycles.

Materials include Redi-Rock modular blocks, wood, steel, and natural stone. Each design includes proper base preparation, backfill, and drainage to prevent failure.

Material Delivery & Specialized Transport

Heavy materials—steel sheet piling, vinyl panels, boulder, and concrete—require specialized trucks and equipment. We handle delivery and site placement for seawalls, docks, and construction projects across Oakland County.

Our fleet manages waterfront access challenges, narrow roads, and tight lot conditions. We also provide material staging and inventory management.

Why It Matters

Waterfront properties in Oakland County face unique risks that demand expert care.

Erosion & Shoreline Protection

Michigan lakes and rivers erode shorelines from wave action, ice movement, and water level changes. Without protection, property loss accelerates each year. A proper seawall or retaining wall stops erosion and maintains your property boundary.

Regulatory Compliance & Permits

Michigan EGLE and local townships require permits for any shoreline work. We secure permits, handle inspections, and ensure your project meets all environmental and building codes. Non-compliant work can result in removal orders and fines.

Long-Term Property Value

Well-built shoreline structures increase lakefront property value and usability. Buyers expect protected shorelines, stable foundations, and approved construction. A failed or aging seawall reduces appeal and property price.

Serving Oakland County and Surrounding Areas

We work on all major lakes and waterways across Oakland County.

West Bloomfield Lakes

West Bloomfield includes Cass Lake, Union Lake, Walnut Lake, and Pine Lake—some of Oakland County's largest and most exclusive waterfront communities. We've built seawalls, retaining walls, and repair projects on all of them.

Walnut Lake's luxury homes demand expert shoreline care; Cass Lake's size requires engineering for wave dynamics.

Walled Lake & Commerce Township

Walled Lake, Middle Straits Lake, Hawk Lake, and Commerce Lake serve active boating communities. We build durable seawalls that handle high traffic and seasonal ice pressure.

Waterford, White Lake & Orchard Lake

These townships include White Lake, Orchard Lake Village, and several smaller waterways. Each property faces unique shoreline conditions; we customize solutions for every lake and every homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about marine construction and seawall services in Oakland County.

Do I need a permit for a seawall in Michigan?

Yes. Michigan EGLE and your township require permits for shoreline work. We handle the application, inspections, and compliance to keep your project legal and protected.

What material is best for a seawall in Oakland County?

Choice depends on your lake, budget, and preferences. Vinyl resists rot and rust; steel lasts decades; concrete provides strength; natural stone offers aesthetics. We recommend the best fit after inspecting your shoreline.

Can you repair my existing seawall?

Yes. We repair cracked concrete, rusted or bent steel, failed vinyl, and weak drainage systems. We also install vinyl panels over failing old walls or rebuild sections.

How do drainage and backfill affect seawall life?

Proper drainage prevents water buildup behind the wall that causes failure. Good backfill compaction and filter fabric protect the structure. We design both to ensure durability.

Can I add a deck or dock to my new seawall?

Yes. We design walls with caps suitable for decking, docks, and shoreline features. These additions improve usability and property appeal.

What causes shoreline erosion in Oakland County?

Wave action, ice heave, water level changes, and soil composition all erode shorelines. Winter ice pressure is especially damaging on larger lakes like Cass and Orchard.
