Snow Removal: Have No Fear, Seaside Seawalls Will Dig You Out This Year!

December 1st, 2014

Our fleet of F-350 trucks and BOSS plows are ready to take on the hefty task of eliminating snow this year

It’s that time of year again! No, we’re not talking about the holidays necessarily. ‘Tis the season for some deep freezing! While the kids may be looking forward to the onset of this chilly season (snowmen, hot chocolate, and winter break certainly help with that!), us adults are typically less than thrilled about the seasonal change. It’s time for us to dig out those snow boots, hefty winter coats, and warm woolen mittens. That’s right, folks: winter is coming (though in many parts of Michigan, it feels like it’s already here!)

But it’s not just the sub-zero temperatures and the threat of another polar vortex that we Michiganders are concerned about. In the 2013/2014 season, Michigan received some record snowfalls, with 79 inches in just 3 months! Compare this to the previous 65 inch Read the full article…

Gone were the days of lounging by the lake, with an ice cold beverage in one hand and a freshly barbecued burger in the other, basking in the hot summer sun, without a care in the world. Nope, not this week – we had work to do! A Seawall A Day Keeps Erosion Away! Lucky for us, this job was a fair size smaller than our typical seawall installation projects, which Read the full article…

Top 5 Reasons to Choose a Vinyl Piling Seawall

October 31st, 2013

Vinyl is a sustainable long lasting material

One type of seawall that we have not yet shed too much light on is a vinyl piling seawall. Vinyl seawalls, also known as PVC seawalls, are a popular choice among waterfront property owners in Michigan due to their ability to be installed without machinery & special tools. While certainly superior to a wooden seawall, a vinyl seawall can never fully trump a steel seawall and the many characteristics that make it our most sustainable and top recommended type of wall. However, there are lots of great reasons for choosing a vinyl seawall for your waterfront property. Here are the top four: Reason #1: Vinyl Seawalls are Inexpensive Compared to their counterparts, vinyl piling material for seawalls are relatively inexpensive.
