McDaniel Service, LLC Dredging and shoreline improvements

We are a family owned and operated company based in the Port of Florence, Florence, Alabama on the Tennessee River. McDaniel Service, LLC has been in business since 1999 and became a part of the Port of Florence in 2007. We are licensed and insured to accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial needs with our wide range of services for both private and business property owners as well as construction sites. These services include; dredging, slough clean up, rip rap installation, and equipment services.

We use a modern hydraulic excavator to remove dredgable materials that have settled on the riverbed and along the shoreline. The dredged material is placed inside our 30 yard container for complete removal from the job site. Both the excavator and the container are brought to the job on board our self-propelled barge.

Our 20’x70’ barge provides a self-contained workspace for the handling of material at the job site. This vessel provides enough buoyancy to haul a full load of material and all the equipment necessary to do the work at hand while maintaining a relatively shallow draft. Equipped with a hydraulic propulsion thruster, outboard motor, dual spud anchors, and bow thruster system, this barge is capable of precise maneuvering around the job site.

Erosion of shorelines can cause serious problems for homeowners, jeopardizing boathouses and docks as well as real estate. We can stop the progression of harmful erosion with the installation of rip rap rock for shoreline stabilization. The rock is brought to the job site in our container on board the barge, meaning no damage to your yard while the work is carried out.

With the changing of the seasons, leaves, logs, and plant matter along with garbage and trash from occasional flooding all seem to find their way to creeks and rivers. When this debris enters the water flow, it simply drifts until is is pushed up against something else in the water that is immovable; namely, your shoreline, dock, or boathouse! With our equipment, we are capable of safely removing debris, leaving your property clean and clear again.

Many projects on the waterfront require a permit to be issued before work may be carried out. Whether or not a permit is needed can be determined by the type of project, the scope of work, the history of previous permits for the property, and even the project location. This process can seem very complicated, which is why we are happy to provide information and insight to help perspective customers file for and obtain the permit they need.

With more than 20 years spent in the river service industry, we are able to bring our experience and equipment power to your job site. In addition to residential work, we are licensed and insured to operate at industrial job sites and docks. Our skills in the river industry have made us adept at meeting many project needs.

Whether you are in need of some extra equipment muscle or need assistance ensuring the stability of your shoreline or maintaining water depth, contact us! We welcome the opportunity to discuss your project and share what McDaniel Service can do for your company.
