A lakefront property comes with many responsibilities, and one of the biggest ones is to you and your family in preserving the financial investment you’ve made in purchasing lakefront realty. Too often, lakefront property owners come to us once significant, irreversible shoreline erosion has occurred, impacting the overall value of their property.
As leaders in shoreline erosion management, we encourage you to reach out to us to better understand how you can protect your waterfront property against erosion and maintain your property’s overall value while enhancing the aesthetics of your shoreline.
At Martin Docks, we take pride in providing comprehensive solutions for your shoreline, which, in addition to erosion control (rip rap), also include the construction, replacement, and/or modification of shoreline steps.
To better understand our complete shoreline management offerings and how you can protect your investment, give us a call at (770) 536-0189.
Rip Rap consists of strategically placed stones of varying size along a shoreline to prevent soil erosion caused by lake currents, wave action and weather over time. The primary objective of Rip Rap is to dissipate wave energy, minimizing the direct impact on the shoreline and preserving its integrity and longevity.
Selecting the appropriate Rip Rap material is crucial for a successful installation. Factors such as stone size, stone composition, weight, and durability play a pivotal role. Our experts will access your property and help select the proper Rip Rap material to maintain the natural beauty of your shoreline for years to come.
Before beginning any Rip Rap project, a thorough site assessment is conducted. This includes evaluating soil composition, water depth, current erosion patterns and tree removal assessments. Proper preparation ensures a seamless rock installation and tree removal process to ensure long-term stability.

Mark Fowler We asked for service to move our dock as the Lake has filled to a relatively high level. Martin Docks was here in just several days and they moved our dock as requested. Martin Docks takes the call and provides the service and what else could be asked. We do not need a new dock, but if we did, Martin Docks would be our first call. Amy Slotin Love Martin Docks. They have been doing our dock watch for years. When the last storm damaged the dock and broke the ramp away, they were out here the next day repairing. It's looks brand new! Thank you. Grace Privette Farren Great service …. Great quality! You definitely will be more than satisfied!!! We are! Michael Riesterer Martin Docks is the premier dock company on Lake Lanier! The purchase experience working with them is very white glove, spending hours of me designing the perfect dock. In addition, their customer service has been incredible throughout the years of ownership since the initial purchase,! The cove that I live in actually gets some really intense weather and my dock incurred damage that was covered under their lifetime weld warranty. Pretty sure other dock companies would not cover this, but Martin put their money where their mouth is and backed up their product. I also contracted with them to do riprap and stairs, which were both very well done. Highly recommend! Desmond Keelaghan Looking for a floating dock in north Georgia, I spoke with a lot of dock owners on several lakes about their boating and dock experience's,. Being new to lake life it was a daunting task to select the features which become one’s own dock, compounded by the inflationary costs sweeping the nation. Eventually I narrowed my choice to quality and visually appealing components with build quality directing my final decision it was very pleasing that my chosen manufacturer was also the best bid I received for my custom design features . The overall experience was seamless with every aspect from advice, concept, to build, launch, installation and followup service, Martin Docks is an impressive operation. terry richards Recently purchased a new dock. Very pleasant experience. Knowledgeable folks at Martin Docks.......from dock design to Corps requirements/restrictions. Deadline dates were kept or improved upon, installation went smoothly and we love our new dock. Highly recommend Martin Docks! lookout dumpsters Fantastic dock! Prices are reasonable. Their docks are beautiful! Derek Pietro Martin docks is a one stop shop for all your dock needs. We are very thankful to have such a great company on Lake Lanier. john crumpton My family and I needed a new dock on Hartwell. We shopped dealers in SC and GA.

Thank ya’ll for the superior work, craftsmanship and customer service. Scott and Danny are the best in business!
