hi all,

i have a seawall (i think it's wood though, at least the top / front
portion is) on part of a canal that leads to a freshwater lake.

the soil is starting to erode. i'm worried eventually the seawall will
collapse? or someone's foot go through it..

what can i do? what i thought about doing was digging about a 6 inch
trench along the seawall, as low as i can go, and filling it with
gravel... or even pouring some concrete in there?

trying to avoid a costly visit from a dock repair man if possible.

If seawall is on a public waterway; ask a local authority. Shore it
up as they like.

Yes, shore the back of seawall up....rocks,,things to stand up to the
constant water pounding,
