Building durable structures by the water is no small task, and we are proud to announce that Phase 1 of our project for a double boathouse in Benton, Louisiana, is now complete! A retention wall is a vital component for any property near the water, and our team has been hard at work ensuring your investment stands the test of time.
The Importance of Retention Walls
Retention walls serve multiple purposes and are crucial for various reasons. Primarily, they act as a barrier between your property and the water, helping to prevent erosion. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, about 25% of waterfront properties face erosion issues due to rising water levels and severe weather. A well-built retention wall not only reinforces your structure above ground but also contributes to the overall longevity of your property.
Investing in a waterfront property means you should prioritize its protection and maintenance. A reliable retention wall can save you from costly repairs in the future caused by water damage. For instance, properties without proper retention measures face repair costs averaging $5,000 to $15,000 depending on the extent of the damage. By taking proactive steps, such as installing a retention wall, you can safeguard your investment effectively.

Our Construction Process
During Phase 1, our dedicated team focused on building a high-quality retention wall using the best materials available. This included reinforced concrete designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. Our wall is engineered to handle lateral earth pressure, which is crucial considering the soil type in Benton. By employing innovative construction techniques, we ensured that the wall integrates seamlessly with both the landscape and the boathouse itself.
Attention to detail was our top priority, from the foundation to the final touches. For example, we installed a drainage system that allows water to flow freely, reducing pressure on the wall and extending its lifespan. As we prepare to begin Phase 2, we are excited to kick off the next stage of expansion. Our future plans include enhancing the boathouse itself to make it even more functional and visually appealing.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
As we move forward, our commitment to delivering quality project outcomes remains strong. Phase 2 will focus on completing the boathouse structure and improving its accessibility for practical use. Planned features include additional storage options to accommodate more equipment and larger docking facilities that can handle two boats instead of one. These upgrades aim to enhance the overall experience for our customers, allowing for a more efficient use of the space.
Now is the perfect time to consider your own retention wall or boathouse! Investing in a protective structure can significantly decrease maintenance costs and increase property value. If you are planning to enhance your waterfront property, don’t wait any longer!
