Pilings
Pilings are the foundation of every dock, lift, and seawall on your property, and choosing the right material for your specific waterway is the single biggest factor in how long that foundation actually lasts.
Signs You Need This
Signs You Need Pilings
- Visible leaning, cracking, or notching at the waterline
- Marine borer holes visible on untreated wood pilings

Our Process
How It Works
- 1Bottom & load assessment
We evaluate bottom soil conditions and the structural load the pilings need to support.
- 2Material & depth selection
We recommend treated wood, concrete, or composite pilings and embedment depth for your waterway.
- 3Driving & installation
We drive or install pilings to engineered depth using marine construction equipment.
- 4Structural tie-in
We connect new pilings to existing or new dock/lift framing.
Benefits
Why Invest in Pilings

FAQ
Pilings Questions
Concrete and composite pilings resist marine borers entirely and generally outlast treated wood, which remains popular for its lower upfront cost but is more vulnerable in high-borer-activity waterways like inlets and river mouths.
