Docks & Boat Lifts

Fleming is a dealer for Feighner Boat Lifts & Docks. Available dock configurations include rolling, sectional, floating and patio systems, allowing different solutions for firm bottoms, gradual approaches, deep water and softer lakebeds.

Seawalls

Seawall construction is one of Fleming Marine’s principal specialties. The company works with wood, vinyl and steel seawall systems and also repairs damaged existing walls.

Rock Walls & Erosion Control

For properties where a conventional seawall may not be appropriate, Fleming installs limestone rock barriers and other erosion-control solutions designed around the shoreline conditions.

Retaining Walls

Fleming constructs retaining walls to stabilize waterfront terrain and create more usable areas where slopes or elevation changes make shoreline access difficult.

Decks, Boardwalks & Waterfront Access

Custom decks, boardwalks and waterfront stairs can be incorporated into shoreline projects to improve access and create usable outdoor spaces near the water.

Permit Assistance

Fleming assists customers with marine-construction permitting and regulatory compliance, which can be especially valuable for seawall and shoreline projects requiring approvals before construction begins.

Best For

Fleming Marine Construction is suited to Michigan waterfront owners planning docks or boat lifts alongside seawalls, retaining walls, erosion control or larger shoreline-improvement projects requiring an experienced marine contractor.
