Our Services

Custom Docks

Designed around your shoreline, your boat, and the way you live on the water.

Overview

Each dock we build is unique in its design beginnings. With hundreds of docks and boathouses designed over the years, we can quickly and efficiently develop the right plan for your property, and the possibilities are limitless.

What sets our structures apart is not visible from the deck. Our unique structural designs are more than cosmetic embellishments; they are an integral part of the structural integrity of every dock we build. A dock in South Florida must withstand the harsh winds of tropical storms, and we design with this in mind, starting with the foundation.

The foundation is the key to a sturdy and long-lasting structure. Every lake or ocean bottom is different: some are sand, some are muck or mud, some are hard pan or even rock. We use the equipment that best suits each situation: high-pressure water jets, pneumatic pile driving, or drilling through rock. That is how we get the secure footing your dock will stand on for decades.

From a clean, minimal fishing dock to a full wraparound platform with multiple lifts, the finished structure is engineered as carefully as it is finished.

Our Approach

How we take on docks

01

Design begins with the site

Every dock starts as a unique design. We study the shoreline, the water depth, and how you use your boat before a single line is drawn, so the structure fits the property rather than the other way around.

02

The foundation is the structure

The foundation is the key to a sturdy, long-lasting dock. Every lake and ocean bottom is different: sand, muck, hard pan, even rock. We select the piling method to match, from high-pressure water jets to pneumatic pile driving to drilling through rock.

03

Built for Florida weather

Your dock will need to withstand the harsh winds of Florida's tropical storms. Storm loading is part of the design from the first drawing, not an afterthought, and our structural details are integral to the strength of the finished dock, not cosmetic embellishments.

Common Questions

Answers, plainly

How do you secure pilings in different bottom conditions?

Every lake or ocean bottom is different: some are sand, some are muck or mud, some are hard pan or even rock. We use the equipment that best suits the situation, whether that is high-pressure water jets, pneumatic pile driving, or drilling through rock to get a secure footing.

Will my dock stand up to tropical storms?

Storm resistance is a design requirement, not an option. Your dock needs to withstand the harsh winds of Florida's tropical storms, so we design with this in mind from the start, beginning with the foundation.

Can you design something specific to my property?

Yes. Each dock is unique in its design beginnings, and with hundreds of docks and boathouses designed over the years we can quickly and efficiently develop the right plan for your site. The possibilities are, genuinely, limitless.
