We are using Stemic marine (located in ft myers) for our new sea wall and dock on Sanibel. they have been great to work with
Farm bureau in Mi has a water front policy for our sea walls, dock and shore stations, does not include pilings, but the rest is insured. I had a 10K claim no questions

There is still about 12-14 inches protruding out of the canal muck.

Wildman / Dave who did you use? would you recommend them?
So the toes held and there was enough push to split the wall? Has your yard elevation changed at all?

Just got $60,000 worth of estimates to do 160' of seawall, and (3) new lifts! Getting ready to bite the bullet....

[QUOTE=ghabeck;4547020]what is thoughts

In fresh water I would go with steel sheet piling with tie backs. I've seen many vinyl walls collapse.

That isn't really bad for that much work. Who did you go with Dean?

Pro-docks, looking to have American docks come out and give me bid also. Will you be boating this weekend? Eddie is chomping at the bit!

Most likely a leaky sprinkler valve. Just had someone in my neighborhood have that happen. Sucks!!
