Replacing a failing seawall on the Rio Grande River
A canal-front property's wood seawall had begun bowing inward after years of saltwater exposure, threatening the patio sitting just behind it.

The patio was preserved, the new wall has decades of expected life, and the homeowner gained a clean line for a future dock build.

Yes — and we recommend planning them together so the seawall accommodates the dock attachment points.
Tell us what you're picturing. We'll come look, listen, and put a plan together — no pressure.
