In the Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough County area, we install 3 types: <strong>Concrete<\/strong>, <strong>Sheet Pile<\/strong>, or <strong>Boulders (Rip Rap)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rip Rap Concrete<\/strong><br \/>\n80lb bags of specially mixed cement, carefully placed to create a wall. Secured with rebar and tie backs. When complete, provides a beautiful natural wall with a life expectancy of over 40 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sheet Pile Walls<\/strong><br \/>\nOften seen along with tidal waterways. Sheet Pile is driven and\/or jetted into the ground and secured with tie back anchors. Wood and concrete are commonly used as caps on top of the wall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boulders (Rip Rap)<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother type of retaining wall used in tidal areas is limestone boulders. The boulders are set in place to create a barrier between land and water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gabeons<\/strong><br \/>\nCages filled with stone then placed to create a retaining wall. Often used along rivers, streams, and banks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Geo Mat<\/strong><br \/>\nA mat placed on hillsides, banks, and swale inclines to stabilize the ground and prevent erosion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swales<\/strong><br \/>\nA groove or recessed area excavated into the ground. We design and install swales to guide water to an acceptable location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spillway (Flume)<\/strong><br \/>\nA poured-in-place concrete swale or recessed area to guide water to an acceptable location without eroding a hillside, incline, or pond bank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>We construct our walls using our proven, time-tested designs.
