Protect your shoreline with professional riprap and rock seawall replacement.
We build shorelines using granite and limestone that soak up wave energy instead of just bouncing it back, which stops erosion and creates a better habitat for local marine life. Riprap is a tough, low-maintenance option that won't corrode, keeping your waterfront property secure for decades. We also handle the entire permitting process with the Florida DEP and local authorities to make sure your project is stress-free and fully compliant with Merritt Island regulations.
Expert Riprap and Rock Seawall Installation
Reliable Shoreline Protection for Merritt Island Properties
Keep your waterfront property secure with rock systems built to absorb wave energy and stop erosion using heavy-duty materials and proven construction techniques.
How Riprap Protects Your Shoreline
Stopping Erosion by Absorbing Wave Energy
Vertical seawalls often bounce wave energy back, which can actually wear down the ground over time. Our riprap systems use limestone or granite to soak up that energy instead. By building a sloped surface with natural gaps, we let water move through the rocks rather than slamming into a solid wall. This stops your shoreline from washing away and keeps the ground stable against the tides and boat traffic found in the Indian River Lagoon and Banana River.
Quality Construction from the Ground Up
Our Professional Installation Process
Getting the details right is what makes a seawall last. We start by securing a heavy-duty filter fabric over the soil to prevent dirt from washing out through the rocks. Our team then uses heavy equipment to place the largest stones at the waterline where the waves are strongest. Smaller stones fill the gaps higher up, creating a tight, interlocking barrier. We build every system at a specific angle to ensure the rocks stay exactly where they belong for years to come.
A Low-Maintenance, Eco-Friendly Choice
Built to Last and Better for the Water
Rock doesn't rot, rust, or decay, making riprap one of the most durable choices for any waterfront. These systems usually last for decades with very little maintenance beyond a quick look-over after a major storm. There is an environmental benefit too. The spaces between the stones create a natural habitat for fish and crabs, so you're protecting your investment while supporting the health of our local Florida waterways.
The Real Benefits of Riprap Stabilization
Reliable Protection for Space Coast Shorelines
Riprap is a smarter, more durable alternative to traditional seawalls. We use specifically graded stone and precise layering to build a barrier that handles the unique tides and currents of the Indian River and Banana River. It’s built to stand up to the water and keep your property secure for the long haul.
Soaks Up Wave Energy
Concrete walls just bounce water back, which often causes more damage over time. Riprap actually breaks up and absorbs wave energy. This stops the scouring effect that typically eats away at the base of vertical barriers.
Built to Last for Decades
We use marine-grade granite or limestone that won't rot, rust, or break down in saltwater. A well-installed riprap system lasts for decades and requires far less maintenance than wood or concrete structures.
Smart Filtration
We lay down high-strength filter fabric underneath the stone layers. This keeps your soil from washing out through the rocks while still letting groundwater drain naturally, so you don't have to worry about erosion from the inside out.
