Short answer: At Dockside, seawall prices range from $15 to $400 per square foot, depending on many variables. Where a project lands in that range comes down to things like the location, the tide wall and how close the work is to existing structures, so the most accurate number comes from a visit to your property.
What does a seawall cost per square foot?
The range is wide because no two shorelines are the same, and many variables go into the final price.
What changes the cost of a seawall?
- Location: where the wall is and how the crew and equipment reach it.
- Tide wall: the conditions at the water line where the wall is built.
- Nearby structures: how close the work is to docks, lifts, homes and other existing structures.
Is a seawall worth it?
A seawall protects your shoreline from erosion and protects the longevity of your waterfront investment. As our crew says, a seawall is not glamorous work, but it is important work: fresh concrete, careful formwork and a crew that stays with it until the line is true.
Do permits add to the process?
Once the plans are approved, we'll handle all paperwork submission to local and state agencies for permitting. For the details, see Do I need a permit to build a dock in Florida?
How do I get an accurate price?
We aim for fair and competitive pricing that gives you the best value without compromising on quality. The material and design matter too; compare options in wood, vinyl, concrete or stacked rock seawalls and see a completed wall in our raised vinyl seawall, finger pier and lower dock story or the 80 ft vinyl seawall and raised dock near Patrick Space Force Base. We are happy to come out to your property and give you a number based on what we see.
