Bulkhead Pricing in Baton Rouge

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.

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 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.
