Dredging in Hollywood
Hollywood combines Atlantic oceanfront along the Broadwalk with a network of inland waterways including the Intracoastal-connected canals threading through neighborhoods like Lakes Section, Hollywood Lakes, and North Beach.
Local context
Hollywood combines Atlantic oceanfront along the Broadwalk with a network of inland waterways including the Intracoastal-connected canals threading through neighborhoods like Lakes Section, Hollywood Lakes, and North Beach. The city sits between Fort Lauderdale and Hallandale Beach, with permit review through Broward County DPEP and the City of Hollywood.
Most residential dredging in Hollywood involves restoring depth around docks and lifts on the Intracoastal-connected canals, where sediment migration over decades has reduced original design depths significantly.

Frequently asked
- How long does dredging take in Hollywood?
- Most residential dredging projects run 2-5 days in the field once mobilized. The full timeline from first call to closeout survey is typically 4-7 months, with most of that being permit review. Hollywood permits flow through Broward County DPEP alongside the state and federal reviews.
- Do I need a permit to dredge in Hollywood?
- Yes. Dredging in Hollywood requires authorization from FDEP and, in most cases, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Broward County environmental review applies as well. We handle the full permit application as part of every project.
- What does residential dredging cost in Hollywood?
- Residential projects in Hollywood 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 at no cost.
