Bulkheads & Seawalls

Commercial Landscaping in Gloucester, VA

If you own a home in eastern Virginia, you are aware of the potential damage the surrounding water presents. For example, if you live in Williamsburg, VA, you are between the York River and the James River. If either of these rivers floods, your property is susceptible to water damage.

At Southern Landscaping & Construction, Inc., we have been serving those in the Williamsburg, VA, area for over 35 years. One way that we have helped homeowners prevent water damage is by building bulkheads and seawalls on their property.

These constructions protect your yard from rising floodwaters after a heavy storm. Read on to learn more about residential landscape installation and how it can benefit your property.

Bulkheads versus Seawalls

Bulkheads and seawalls are similar constructions, both used to protect your property from water damage. However, these two options are slightly different. For example, seawalls focus on protecting against incoming waves while retaining soil. Bulkheads, on the other hand, focus on retaining soil and protect against waves minimally.


To determine which construction your property needs, you need to consider what your primary goal is. If you wish to protect against soil erosion, a bulkhead is an ideal construction. However, if you are more worried about blocking incoming waves, build a seawall instead.


If you aren’t sure which one would be best for your property, contact us at Southern Landscaping & Construction, Inc. We offer free estimates and consultations for your property. You can also trust us to get all the required permits before we start your construction project.
