Expert Seawall Construction in Groton, NY

Lansing-area waterfront properties sit along inland lakes and waterways where wave action, ice movement, and fluctuating water levels steadily wear away unprotected shorelines. TMT Excavation & Outdoor Services provides seawall construction designed to stop that land loss before it reaches your yard, foundation, or dock area. We assess your shoreline conditions, select the right wall type for your soil and water exposure, and build a structure that holds the bank in place season after season. Michigan winters add ice pressure that can shift or crack poorly built walls, so our construction accounts for freeze-thaw cycles common across the Lansing area. Whether your shoreline shows early signs of slumping or you have visible bank loss, we build a wall sized and positioned to protect your specific property. Every project starts with a site review so we understand your slope, water access, and soil before any work begins. Contact TMT Excavation & Outdoor Services to schedule your Lansing shoreline assessment.

I used TMT this past year for several lawns for properties I both own and manage. Working with them was by far the best experience we have ever had. Things were always left orderly and done well. My gate was never left open (a problem I've had in the past) and TMT always was there when they planned to be there. Highly recommended!

TMT provides great service in both lawn mowing and snow plowing. Tanner and his crew are very reliable and do a fantastic job. I have used a few services over the years and TMT is absolutely the best! Highly recommend!
