Permanent Docks

Installed over 1400sqft of permanent docks up on Cross Lake in Minnesota. Drove 8” dock piling 30’ into the lake bed. Piling docks are the most common type of permanent docking systems. Pilings are driven into the bottom of the lake or river. The rest of the dock is supported by these pilings, which help it to effectively resist the force of waves and other movements of the water. The water itself can still flow underneath piling docks. Contact us today if you would like to add a permanent dock system to your property.

  2. Breakers of Sunset Bay

  3. We recently dredged a marina up at Breakers of Sunset Bay on Mille Lacs Lake in Isle, Minnesota. Over 2,000 yards of dredged material was removed, which then had to be trucked to a new location. Contact us today to get going on your next big dredging project!

RipRap

Adding riprap to a shoreline establishes a protective barrier that will prevent soil erosion from waves and water runoff. Riprap absorbs a majority of wave action and keeps dirt at the base from eroding away. Furthermore, riprap decreases the velocity of water running down sloped areas. Riprap is typically comprised of large rocks ranging anywhere from 6-30 inches in size. Click on the different types of riprap installations below to see the benefits of each one.
