Shoreline protection with a natural character.
Coquina revetment construction and repair for waterfront properties in Brevard County. Thoughtful stonework shaped around the shoreline it protects.
A different way to meet the water.
A coquina revetment uses natural stone placed along a sloped shoreline. The rock forms a protective layer that helps manage wave action and erosion while following the shape of the bank.
It can be an appealing option for properties where a stone shoreline fits the setting and site conditions. Dream Docks builds new coquina revetments and works on existing stone shoreline protection in need of repair.

Protection that belongs in the landscape.
Stone revetments can serve both practical and visual goals when the property and conditions are suitable.
Manage erosion
Properly designed and placed stone helps protect the bank from water movement and soil loss.
Natural texture
Coquina’s warm color and irregular shape create a shoreline that feels at home beside the water.
Follow the bank
A revetment can be planned around the slope and shape of a shoreline rather than a vertical wall.
The strength is in what’s beneath the stone.
A revetment is more than a pile of rock. The bank, base materials, stone selection, and placement all matter.
Evaluate
Review the shoreline, erosion, slope, access, and goals for the property.
Prepare
Shape and prepare the bank as required by the project design and site conditions.
Build the base
Install specified underlying materials, which may include geotextile fabric and toe protection.
Place the stone
Arrange coquina rock to create a stable, finished shoreline profile.

Every shoreline has different conditions; the construction approach is determined for the individual site.
What does your shoreline need?
If stone has shifted, soil is washing away, or a waterfront edge needs a new approach, it is worth having the site evaluated. The right solution depends on the slope, exposure, nearby structures, and applicable requirements.
Dream Docks can discuss a new coquina revetment or repairs to an existing stone shoreline. We also build seawalls when a different form of shoreline protection is a better fit.

What is a coquina revetment?
It is a layer of coquina stone placed along a prepared, sloped shoreline to help protect the bank from erosion and water movement. It is sometimes described as a form of riprap shoreline protection.
Is a revetment the same as a seawall?
They are different approaches to shoreline protection. A revetment follows a sloped bank with stone; a seawall generally creates a more vertical edge. Site conditions and project goals help determine which approach to consider.
Can an existing coquina shoreline be repaired?
Dream Docks works on existing coquina revetments. We can review the condition of the stone, bank, and nearby structures to discuss repair options.
Will my project need permits?
Shoreline work may require local, state, or other approvals depending on the site and scope. We can review the proposed work and discuss the applicable permitting process before construction.
