How A Bulkhead Protects Your Property
A bulkhead serves as a vital barrier between your land and the water. It needs to be strong, well-anchored, and properly sealed. DK Construction will install bulkheads that hold up over time, using proven materials and methods designed for changing lake and river levels as well as storm conditions. We also handle repairs if your current wall is failing or allowing erosion.
Making the Most of Your Bulkhead
There are several upgrades that can help your bulkhead look even better over time. We often recommend adding proper drainage systems to relieve pressure from behind the wall, which reduces cracking and shifting. Also, Integrated lighting can improve safety at night and highlight the beauty of your shoreline in a clean, subtle way. These additions reinforce your investment and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
