Types Of Docks

Custom Docks

Custom hardwood docks are designed around your shoreline, water depth, and personal style. Our team crafts every detail to bring your waterfront vision to life.

Piling Dock

Piling docks use vertical supports anchored into the waterbed for a stable platform. Tropical hardwood decking gives them exceptional resistance to Florida's coastal conditions.

Floating Dock

Floating docks move naturally with changing water levels for consistent access. Hardwood surfaces add beauty and traction in tidal and freshwater environments.

Stationary Dock

Stationary docks provide a permanent platform for daily residential and commercial use. These structures deliver the strength and visual appeal that fixed platforms demand.

Picture Frame Dock

Picture frame docks feature an open center for water access from every side. Tropical hardwood framing elevates their appearance and performance for multi-use spaces.
