Concrete docks are more suited for rough water environments prone to heavy wave action and require the least maintenance over time. Wooden docks offer a more classic, aesthetically pleasing look and comfortable feel. Composite docks provide a modern, low-maintenance option that blends style with durability.

If only the decking is damaged, repairs may be enough. If the pilings are rotted or structurally failing, the dock could likely need a full replacement.

Minor cracks or small areas of settling can be repaired. If large sections are deteriorating or the wall has significant structural damage, replacement is usually necessary.

Regulations vary—check with your local municipality or the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality to confirm what’s permitted.

The best choice depends on your location, shoreline conditions, and needs. Rock bulkheads are often the most economical approach to shoreline stabilization, offering effective protection at a lower cost. Vinyl seawalls provide a more permanent solution, delivering long-term durability and protection for your shoreline. Wooden seawalls are best suited for upland retaining walls, where they add structure and visual appeal. Call us for a site-specific consultation to determine the right option for your property.

Permit requirements vary—contact your local municipal governing body for guidance. In most cases, repairs involving less than 50% replacement of your structure may not require a permit, but anything over that amount will typically require additional permitting. We also offer a service to handle the permitting process for you, ensuring everything is completed smoothly and in compliance.

Our tandem axle dump trucks can haul up to approximately 18 tons, or 10–12 cubic yards of fill per load.
