Seawalls serve dual purposes and are integral to much of Alabama’s real estate. First, they form a barrier against the water from oceans, lakes, rivers, creeks, and canals, while the other side contains the soil, keeping your property intact and free from erosion, making waterfront land safe for structures and people. Cotton State Marine is considered the premier marine construction contractor for quality seawalls, boathouses, boat lifts, boat ramps and pilings for sound foundations throughout the Alabama waterways.
