We have the experience and we are committed to providing quality workmanship and superior customer service on all our applications. We at The Cornerstone Landscaping Co., Inc. strive to maintain our reputation as a high quality, very service oriented company with our main focus being customer satisfaction.

"I need to start off with apologizing to HomeAdvisor since you offer a great service. I came to get an estimate from Cornerstone and they told me I absolutely had to go with their estimate since they put in the effort to come out to me. I was willing to but they were very forceful. No disrespect to the company but the workers did not speak English. I had to keep calling back multiple times to try to make them come back, which they didn't. I finally saw their truck going down my street and and they finally finished the job, but not very well. Every time I look out at my lawn, I feel bad because I let myself hire them. They delivered a boulder which I wanted, but they also took a different boulder from my lawn without my permission. They didn't put down any sort of weed liner which I wanted, nor did they trench any of the mulch they put down. I pray that nobody else has to go through what I went with them."

"My husband and I purchased an awning for a backyard deck, to be placed above the patio door. The awning we purchased thru Amazon. While looking for an installer on Angi we found PRZ Builders. We called Chris, set up an appointment for a quote. We found Chris to be professional, personable and knowledgeable. Because of storms that kept building on northeast Ohio, it took a few days longer than anticipated for installation. Chris and his crew showed up on time with a wonderful attitude and ready to work. When the installation was complete all work areas were clear of debris and any moving of outdoor furniture was placed back. Chris returned the next day to do a final inspection of his crew's work and address any last minute questions. I do not hesitate to recommend PRZ Builders to my family. They deserve 5 stars!"

Water dock building services FAQs

With the right design and maintenance, a vinyl sea wall capped with concrete can serve you for 50 to 70 years, while poured-concrete walls last 50 to 60 years. Steel or aluminum options last 30 to 40 years, and treated wood holds up for 10 to 25 years. Plan on regular inspections and prompt repairs to keep any sea wall performing at its best for decades.

A bulkhead holds back soil in calm, inland waters, while a sea wall is built for pounding coastal waves. The sea wall’s job is to absorb and deflect wave energy, offering stronger erosion control. A bulkhead mainly keeps soil in place but isn’t designed to stand up to heavy surf.

A sea wall needs a deep footing—four to 10 feet or more—so it can resist shifting soils and constant wave pressure. The exact depth depends on your soil conditions, water depth, chosen material, and local building codes. Your marine contractor may dig even deeper to secure the wall in place and meet the structural specifications.

Plan on a quick visual check every season. Look for cracks, loose panels, or washed-out soil, clear weep holes so water can drain, and trim plants that push against the wall. Catching small issues early helps maintain the structure's soundness and prevents major repair bills later. Your sea wall builder can make recommendations for an ongoing maintenance plan that will help keep your sea wall in optimal condition.

Most residential sea walls are completed in an average of one to three weeks, covering preparation work, sheet piling, and cleanup. Larger commercial walls require additional engineering and can extend well beyond that window. Your crew drives steel or vinyl sheets into the soil, then finishes caps, tie-backs, and grading before final inspection.

The “best” wall is the one engineered for your site, but concrete often tops the list for pure strength and longevity. It anchors soil, blocks water, and handles repeated wave hits better than wood or light-gauge steel. Collaborate with a marine contractor to determine the ideal material for your shoreline and budget.
