Shoreline steps get you safely over rip rap or a steep bank and onto your dock. Martin Docks builds custom shoreline steps for lakefront properties on Lake Lanier and Lake Chatuge, designed for steep banks, fluctuating water levels, and North Georgia’s terrain.
Whether you need new steps or want to replace or rebuild older ones, we plan every set around your shoreline, your dock, and the way your family gets to the water.
Access to your shoreline is key to living your best lake life. Our shoreline steps are custom built to adapt to any shoreline terrain, from rocky rip rap banks to steep clay slopes, giving you safe, stable footing from the bank down to your dock.
Coming down a long, wooded hillside from the house? Pair them with timber steps through the yard. Protecting the bank itself? Our rip rap erosion control installs pair naturally with new steps.
Serving lakefront property owners since 1956, Martin Docks builds steps made to last on Lake Lanier and Lake Chatuge. To get your estimate, call our Gainesville office at (770) 536-0189 or our Hiawassee office at (706) 916-0189, or request an estimate online.

Often, yes. Shoreline work on Lake Lanier falls under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Lake Lanier Shoreline Management program, and Lake Chatuge is managed by TVA, which has its own permitting rules. Requirements depend on your lake and property, so we’ll walk you through what applies before work begins.
Shoreline steps are built at the water’s edge to get you over rip rap or the bank and onto your dock. Timber steps run through your yard, from the house down toward the water. Most lake properties need both.
Yes. Whether you’re looking for brand-new steps or want to revamp older ones, we can replace, rebuild, or modify your existing steps, and we can add rip rap at the same time if your bank needs erosion protection.
