Bulkhead Pricing in Baton Rouge
Posted on 6/4/21 at 10:17 am

I have heard that the costs to build a bulkhead wall on a lake is somewhere between $500 and $1000 per linear foot. Is this right? That seems really high to me.
This would be in Baton Rouge on a subdivision pond.

Will the HOA allow a bulkhead? Some don't.
How deep is the water at the bank?
Probably $300-$500 per foot, but there are a lot of variables.
Does either of your neighbors need a bulkhead also?
Will get a better price per foot for a larger job.

How accessible is the property for equipment?

University Club. It is an empty lot so access is not an issue.

That is awfully high. I had 60’ done about 10 years ago and it ran about ***EDIT $230 not $130***per foot (I know material costs have gone up but not that much).
I had a water depth of 4’ and the top of the bulkhead is 3’ above that. I think the sheets were 12’ total length (maybe longer).
The price included driving pilings, a concrete trench with rods connected thru the sheets and into the pilings. Also had about 2’ of back fill with an average depth of 6-7’.
The guy that did mine passed away a few years back. RIP Rick Barrios.

I thought the price I was told was really high, but I didn't think it would be as low as $130/foot! I never met Rick, but RIP Mr. Barrios.

EDIT!!!
My small keyboard and fat fingers. It was $230 per foot NOT $130.

Better check with Steve first and make sure you don't need HOA approval before you do it.

Yeh, that guy was ready to tell you $300-$500 until he realized University Club. Then he doubled his rate.

I would think it would be in both Steve and the HOA's best interest to allow bulkheads, as most ponds give in/sink over time (where the water meets the land).

I am about to do one in university club as well. I had to file with LDWF scenic rivers program and ACOE. I took a couple of bids on it, but think I am going to just have one of my crews build it.

That seems crazy high. I know it varies by place. I have heard $200ish in the Toledo Bend area and $100ish on Cane River (pre-covid). I guess it also depends on access and materials used but I can't imagine it would be that high.
Also, why are you wanting a bulkhead in a subdivision pond? Typically its to mitigate erosion from wave action, which would be a surprising problem in a subdivision pond.

Even without the moving water you would typically see in a river or large lake, there still has to be some erosion taking place. I can see it on one of the golf holes as the water hazard running down the left side has grown a lot over the years. In addition to that, the neighbors on both sides have bulk heads AND it will extend the usable portion of my yard by another 10 feet or so.

Ah, hole 14....needs to be bulkheaded
