Custom Dock Construction

Four Lakes designs and constructs custom docks for individual waterfront properties. The company’s marine-construction background allows dock projects to be coordinated with decks, shoreline structures and other waterfront improvements.

Seawalls & Rock Walls

Shoreline protection is a major part of the business. Four Lakes constructs steel, vinyl and riprap seawalls as well as rock walls, allowing the system to be selected according to the property and shoreline conditions.

Retaining Walls & Shoreline Restoration

The company builds retaining walls and performs natural shoreline restoration and erosion-control work, giving waterfront owners options beyond conventional seawalls.

Seawall Drainage

Four Lakes also installs and retrofits drainage systems behind seawalls and retaining walls to manage trapped water and reduce problems such as soil slumping, wall movement and excessive water retention.

Design, Engineering & Permitting

For more complex projects, the company provides 3D design and renderings, marine-construction engineering and assistance navigating required permits and approvals.

Welding & Fabrication

Four Lakes is licensed and insured for welding and fabrication repairs involving aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel, complementing its dock and marine-construction work.
