Yes. Lake Hartwell is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and docks and shoreline work must comply with the Hartwell Shoreline Management Plan, which sets where docks are allowed and what dimensions are approved. We've worked within those guidelines for decades and will make sure your project is compliant before construction begins.

It depends on your boat's size, your water depth, and your permit. Single-slip docks fit most runabouts and pontoons; larger boats or multiple watercraft call for double slips or an added jet ski port. Our custom dock builders will look at your shoreline and permit, then recommend a Wahoo aluminum layout that fits how you actually use the lake.

Redecking cost depends on your dock's size and the decking material you choose — synthetic and high-performance boards cost more up front than wood but last far longer on the water. We quote every redecking project individually after an on-site look; request a free estimate and we'll price options for your dock.

Have your boat lift inspected at least once a year — ideally before peak season. Regular maintenance catches worn cables, tank or hose issues, and motor problems before they strand your boat, and it extends the life of the lift considerably. Our yearly service plans handle it for you.

Yes — our Anderson, SC office and service boats cover the full lake, from Anderson, Clemson, and Seneca on the South Carolina side to Hartwell, Lavonia, and Toccoa on the Georgia side. Crews travel by water, so no part of the shoreline is out of reach.
