A seawall is a man-made structure used for erosion protection for land-based properties. There are many different materials that seawalls can be constructed from but they all serve the same purpose; to protect both land and waterways from erosion and invasive deterioration. If you're not sure about the extent of your seawall project we would be happy to stop by for a seawall inspection of your residential or commercial property. Seawall inspections should be performed every few years, so maybe now is the time to have the professionals come out and take a look. Over time seawalls will erode and become obsolete by current structural standards. Erosion is a very real concern when it comes to waterfront properties and preventative maintenance is always preferred when it comes to seawalls, not to mention that it will always be much more affordable to maintain a seawall than it would be to replace the same sea wall structure. Give us a call or fill out the contact form on the right side to speak with one of our seawall contractor specialists in Palma Sola and learn how we can help with your next seawall, lake wall, or retaining wall project. |

Palma Sola, originally known as The Village Of Palma Sola was first settled in 1868 by James Warner, a nationally known gunsmith from Springfield Mass. The site of the town was chosen due to the fact it was close to the mouth of the Manatee River, which is a very deep river indeed. He built his main house on the Manatee River in what is now be Palma Sola. He died about one year later and left the rest of his family there and one of his sons, Warburton S. Warner.
Palma Sola was laid out in 1884. The town was called Palma Sola because of a lone palm tree that guided boats to the town from the Manatee River, acting as a daytime lighthouse of sorts. Early settlers were J.A Felts, J.B. Rogers, A.T. Williams, John Flowers and Asa Pillsbury, among a few others. The town was even the largest in Manatee County until the turn of the century. There was even a promotional pamphlet to promote the town and it says, "The youngest and largest town in Florida which is comprised mostly of New England people where no liquor is sold, etc etc."
The small town built a sawmill in 1884 and produced about $32,000 worth of Lumber. The town started to decline after the sawmill had burned down. The town was also known for the Palma Sola Hotel and general store which was known as the biggest general store between Cedar Key and Key West. Palma Sola was a popular vacation spot and the hotel was often booked with visitors on boat from Tampa and many on trains from Jacksonville. The community received its name from a large palm tree which stood on nearby Snead Island. A post office called Palma Sola was established in 1881, during the town's main prosperity. It remained in operation until it was unfortunately discontinued in 1953. Today most of Palma Sola is considered a residential neighborhood of Bradenton although not technically located within the city limits of Bradenton itself.
