About Us

A native of the Lowcountry, Bluffton specifically, Allick Inglis spent his childhood on his grandparents dock on the May River. It’s a well loved story in our family that Allick told his grandfather, “Pops you don’t have to leave me anything when you die, just the dock.” In 2009 Allick graduated from the University of South Carolina in Columbia with a bachelors in civil engineering. He was quick to return to the Lowcountry where he continued to hone his skills as a true waterman, harvesting the May River and spending most of his time on the water and on docks. He also pursued his other passion of learning about conservation, preservation and their links to green energy. After Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Allick began to put these passions in practice to build and repair docks and seawalls. In 2019 Allick founded Ebb and Flow Marine as a family owned and operated business.We build to stand the test of time, and are always happy to advise our customers on sustainability.

Quality Materials

Ebb and Flow Marine prides ourselves on working with customers to build quality sustainable structures. Instead of nails we use all marine grade stainless screws. We use the best quality treated lumber.This measure greatly reduces the risk of hurricane damage.

Industry Expertise

The current standard in our area is 8 inch pilings with a minimum of 4 feet into the ground. At Ebb and Flow Marine we use 10-14 inch pilings secured a minimum of 10 feet into the ground. All lumber is marine treated 2x and 3x 2.5 and .6 cca, well above the average of 5/4 and 2x .15 treated materials.

Hear It From Our Clients

Ebb and Flow put in our Sea Wall this year. Allick Inglis and his team were exceptional in the planning, prep and follow through. His price was significantly lower than other quotes we had.

The wall is very attractive and keeps our land from eroding further. Thank you for

Seeing this project through and giving us peace of mind.

We contracted Allick to build our porch at our restaurant to expand our outdoor dining. We are very pleased with the results.
