AVS Marine Service

Bulkheads and marine retaining walls.

AVS Marine builds and repairs bulkheads and marine retaining walls that hold back soil and protect upland along canals, rivers, and coastal lots.

Holding the line

A bulkhead's job is to keep your upland where it belongs. We build with proper anchoring, drainage, and backfill so the wall resists soil and water pressure over time.

Repair before it fails

Leaning, cracking, or soil loss behind the wall are warning signs. Caught early, many walls can be reinforced rather than fully replaced.

Matched to the site

Material and design are matched to soil, water level, and exposure — vinyl, concrete, or composite — for the right balance of cost and longevity.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a bulkhead and a seawall?

The terms overlap. Generally a bulkhead retains soil along a calmer waterway, while a seawall is built to take direct wave and surge energy. We build both and recommend the right system for your site.

Can a leaning wall be saved?

Often, yes — with tiebacks, anchoring, and drainage corrections — if it's addressed before failure. We assess and advise honestly.
