Boat Docks, Dredging & Retaining Walls in
Jacksonville, TX

Lake Jacksonville is owned and managed by the City of Jacksonville, with its own shoreline rules and a permit office independent of the bigger TRWD/AMWA/UNRMWA system. We manage that packet — and when an owner has property on both Lake Jacksonville and the Lake Palestine east shore, we handle both authority submittals on the same project.

Most residential work here is private deeded-lot docks with single or dual lifts, plus periodic dredging in the longer coves. A standard fixed dock runs about $22k–$52k before the lift, depending on size and decking.

Yes. The Lake Palestine east shore in the Jacksonville market follows UNRMWA rules, and it's an active corridor for us alongside Lake Jacksonville. We size docks there for Palestine's drawdown range, not just today's pool.

Lake Jacksonville is owned and managed by the City of Jacksonville with its own shoreline rules and a permit office independent of the bigger TRWD, AMWA, and UNRMWA systems. We manage that city packet directly, and when an owner also has Lake Palestine east-shore property, we run both authority submittals on the same project.

A standard fixed dock runs about $22,000 to $52,000 before the lift, depending on size and decking, and most residential work here is private deeded-lot docks with single or dual lifts. We add the lift on the same build to save a return mobilization.

Yes — the longer coves on Lake Jacksonville shoal in over time and see periodic dredging to keep usable depth at the slip. Cove dredging typically runs about $17,500 to $40,000 depending on volume and disposal, and we sonar-map first so the cut targets the buildup.

Yes — that's a regular ask in this market. We manage the City of Jacksonville packet for the Lake Jacksonville lot and the UNRMWA packet for the Lake Palestine east-shore lot on the same project, so one crew handles both authorities rather than juggling two contractors.

Yes. The Lake Palestine east shore in the Jacksonville market follows UNRMWA rules and sees Palestine's real drawdown, so we size piling and deck height for the lake's full range rather than today's pool. Lake Jacksonville itself, under City of Jacksonville management, builds to its own shoreline specs.

A bulkhead or seawall typically runs about $12,000 to $36,000 depending on shoreline length, material, and the tie-back system. On Lake Jacksonville we clear the alignment through the City of Jacksonville permit office, and on the longer coves we often pair the bulkhead with a dredge so the bank doesn't refill the cleared slip.

Yes. We build the private deeded-lot docks that make up most of the residential work here, and a replacement is the right time to upsize the lift to today's boat and bring decking and electrical current. We run the City of Jacksonville packet on the replacement the same as on a new build.

Both — single and dual lifts on private deeded-lot docks are the typical residential build here. We size the lift to your boats and add it on the same mobilization as the dock, which avoids paying to bring a crew back for a separate retrofit.

On Lake Jacksonville under City of Jacksonville management we build private deeded-lot docks, single and dual lifts, bulkheads, and handle periodic cove dredging. On the Lake Palestine east shore we build under UNRMWA rules, sizing docks for Palestine's drawdown, and we'll run both authority packets when a project spans the two lakes.
