Stone revetment is a robust coastal defense technique widely employed to safeguard shorelines and structures from the erosive forces of waves and tides.

Expertly constructed residential piers built within Maryland Department of the Environment guidelines, maximizing your allowable slips, lifts, and platform space.

Living shorelines is a technique that installs a low profile stone sill while filling behind with sand and native grasses. This helps filter and clean the waterways along your property’s waterfront, while creating a habitat for wildlife. This is the most supported form of erosion control for the state, therefore they will waive your permit application fee
Gibbons Marine Construction installs high-performance vinyl composite bulkheads designed for strength, longevity, and environmental resistance. Unlike timber bulkheads that deteriorate over time, vinyl sheeting will not rot, rust, or leach chemicals into surrounding waters.
We professionally drive marine-grade pilings to provide a strong, stable foundation for boat lifts, mooring slips, and structural supports. Properly driven pilings are essential for long-term waterfront performance, ensuring stability against tidal movement, vessel impact, and storm conditions. In addition to functional marine applications, we also install dedicated osprey pilings to support local wildlife and enhance the natural shoreline environment.
We provide professional waterfront consulting services to help property owners understand what improvements are possible — and permissible — along their shoreline. Navigating regulations set by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and local county agencies can be complex, and every property presents unique environmental and layout considerations.
