Marine Construction in Woodside, DE

Farm pond and branch water: the St. Jones headwaters, Isaac Branch and farm ponds — about 34 miles north of the shop.

South of Camden on the headwaters of the St. Jones, in flat inland ground. Farm ponds locally, with tidal river within fifteen minutes in three different directions.

Access. Easy access, and close to the middle of our Kent County work. We cover ZIP code 19980 and the surrounding Kent County shoreline.

What that usually argues for. Stone, grading and planting — the same erosion control we do on tidal water, at a smaller scale. Honest answer: if the job is a farm pond, say so on the phone and we will tell you straight whether it is ours.

Shoreline work in Delaware is regulated, and almost anything built in or over the water needs approval from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. We handle that in house — preparing the plans, completing the applications and coordinating with the agencies.

Budget three to twelve months for agency review depending on the complexity of the project. It is the part of the schedule most people underestimate, so it is worth starting the conversation well before the season you want to be using the water.
