Boat Ramps on the ground in Seven Points
Seven Points covers a wide bank classification on TRWD's shoreline map — open-water frontage on the main body, sheltered coves on the eastern arm, and tight residential runs near the Hwy 274 bridge. That variation means dock specs differ block by block: deeper pilings and breakwater geometry on the open frontage, lighter rigid systems in the protected coves. Sandy soil over clay sublayer makes Henderson County–standard retaining wall drainage work as designed without extra French-drain capacity.

Quick FAQ
Full FAQ →How wide should a boat ramp be?
Standard sizing:
- Single-lane residential — 12–15 ft wide. Right for most private boat ramps.
- Double-wide — 24–30 ft. Allows simultaneous launch and retrieve. Standard for busy waterfront properties, lodges, and small commercial use.
- Multi-lane commercial — 30+ ft, with guide pilings between lanes.
We size to your boat and traffic pattern, not to a one-size catalog spec. If you're launching twice a year, a single lane is fine. If you host club tournaments, you need double.
What concrete thickness is needed for a boat ramp?
We pour ramps at 6–8 inches thick with #4 or #5 rebar on a grid, depending on:
- Expected vehicle load (truck + trailer combined gross weight)
- Soil bearing capacity at the site
- Climate (freeze-thaw cycling)
Do you install the approach and parking area too?
Yes — we can scope the full launch facility:
- Approach pad and turning area
- Staging zone with tie-down anchors
- Guide pilings on each side of the ramp
- Side walls or riprap where the bank is steep
- Handrails or grab bars for safety
Doing the ramp, approach, and bank stabilization in one mobilization saves significantly versus phasing them.
