How It Works
Pumped to our truck — up to 500 feet from the barge.
Hydraulic dredge cuts and pumps spoil through a floating pipeline directly to our shoreside truck — no double-handling, no neighborhood disruption. Channel dredging, slip deepening, spoil haul-off.

Frequently Asked
Answers for waterfront owners
- What areas does Palm Beach Dredging serve?
- We work throughout Palm Beach and Broward Counties, including West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Island, Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Singer Island, Lake Worth, Manalapan, Ocean Ridge, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Fort Lauderdale, and Hollywood.
- How much does residential canal dredging cost?
- Residential projects start around $4,000 for small dock-side clear-outs and scale up based on volume removed, spoil disposal distance, and site access. We provide a fixed-price quote after an on-site depth survey.
- Do I need a permit to dredge in Florida?
- Yes. Maintenance dredging requires authorization from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and, in most cases, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We handle the full permit application as part of every project.
- How long does the permitting process take?
- Permits typically take 6 to 9 months to clear FDEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We start the application immediately after the site survey so on-water work can begin as soon as authorization is issued.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Palm Beach Dredging is a licensed Florida marine contractor, fully insured for general liability, marine pollution, and Jones Act crew coverage. Certificates are available on request.
- Do you build docks, seawalls, and boat lifts too?
- Yes. As a division of South Florida Seawall, we install and repair seawalls, docks, and boat lifts in addition to dredging — and we can sequence the work so dredging and structural projects share mobilization. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll put together a plan.
