Ready to make the most of your Clarks Hill Lake shoreline? Martin Docks designs, builds, and remodels custom boat docks engineered for the depth, slope, and water-level swings of Clarks Hill — also known as J. Strom Thurmond Lake. From aluminum and floating docks to boat lifts and PWC ports, we build for the way you actually use the water.
Since 1956, the Martin name has stood for dock construction that lasts. Today we bring computer-aided design, premium materials, and year-round crews to the Clarks Hill Lake region, building custom docks, boat lifts, and shoreline projects sized to each property and built to the lake’s federal shoreline standards.
Clarks Hill sits on the Savannah River at the Georgia–South Carolina line, with more than 1,200 miles of shoreline and water that moves with seasonal drawdowns. We design around those conditions from day one, so your dock works in high water and low.
Every Clarks Hill cove is different, so every dock should be too. We build custom boat docks to fit your slope, your sightlines, and how you spend time on the water — then finish them in the decking, roofing, and railing you want.
Aluminum Docks Aluminum docks resist rust and shrug off Clarks Hill’s sun and humidity with minimal upkeep. Lightweight, strong, and long-lasting, they’re a smart fit for owners who want a low-maintenance dock that still looks sharp season after season.
Floating Boat Docks For coves with steep banks or wide water-level swings, floating boat docks rise and fall with the lake so your access stays steady year-round. We configure floating layouts with the decking, sundecks, and slip arrangements that match how you boat.
Decking options: natural wood, composite, PVC, or aluminum — in a range of colors and styles to suit any look and budget.
Protect your investment between trips. We install and service boat lifts and PWC ports that keep your watercraft out of the water and ready to launch.
Floating Boat Lifts Floating boat lifts are ideal where water levels shift or shoreline depth makes a piling lift impractical. They cradle your boat, ride the lake’s movement, and keep the hull dry and protected.
Wave Armor PWC Ports Drive-on Wave Armor ports make loading a jet ski or personal watercraft effortless — no straps, no winch. Their modular design holds steady on Clarks Hill’s open water and keeps your PWC high and dry between rides.
Already have a dock that’s seen better days? Our crews handle dock repair and full dock remodels across the Clarks Hill Lake area — from re-decking and roof updates to floatation, railing, and lift work. Whether you’re refreshing a dock you love or restoring one you just inherited with a new property, we’ll bring it back to safe, beautiful, lake-ready condition.
Clarks Hill Lake (J. Strom Thurmond Lake) is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, and private docks on its shoreline require a Corps Shoreline Use Permit. We design and build every Clarks Hill project to meet those federal shoreline standards, so your dock is built right for the lake it sits on.
