Anderson County
Waterfront Construction in
Frankston, TX
Frankston sits at the southern end of Lake Palestine in Anderson County — a small-town footprint with one of our most active cove-dredging markets and a strong slate of mid-size dock and lift builds.
On the ground in Frankston
South Lake Palestine coves silt in faster than the main body — the Anderson and Cherokee county sides see fine sediment buildup from the upper Neches drainage, and many lots run a 10–15 year dredge cycle. UNRMWA permitting applies to anything in the shoreline jurisdiction, and we coordinate the shoreline-alteration packet on every Frankston dredge. Bulkhead replacements are a common pairing — stabilizing the bank at the same time prevents fresh sediment from washing right back into the just-cleared cove.
