A well-designed walkway on Lake Buchanan protects both the property owner and the shoreline. Elevated boardwalks minimize ground disturbance on granite and limestone slopes. Permeable gravel paths handle drainage naturally. Concrete provides ADA-accessible routes on stable grades.
On Lake Buchanan, walkway design starts with the site: how far is the water, what is the grade, where does it flood, and what loads will it carry. Shore Protect Team surveys each property near Burnet, Llano, Buchanan Dam before recommending material, width, elevation, and drainage.

labor and materials
Boardwalk and walkway construction on Lake Buchanan using treated timber, composite decking, aluminum framing, poured concrete, and compacted gravel. Shore Protect Team builds elevated and at-grade pathways that handle the lake's freshwater environment and granite and limestone substrate while providing year-round access to the waterfront.


If the path crosses flood-prone or marshy Lake Buchanan shoreline with granite and limestone substrate, an elevated boardwalk is the right choice — it keeps the walking surface above water and minimizes ground disturbance. Stable upland sections can use at-grade concrete or gravel.
Starting at $20/sq ft for labor and materials on Lake Buchanan. Gravel paths cost less; elevated composite boardwalks on pilings cost more. Final price depends on length, width, material, elevation, and granite and limestone substrate conditions.
Lake Buchanan is subject to strong wind fetch on large open water, significant level fluctuations. Elevated boardwalks are designed above the flood elevation. At-grade paths in flood zones use permeable materials like gravel that drain quickly. Shore Protect Team designs every walkway for the lake's full water level range.
Yes. Elevated boardwalks on driven pilings minimize ground disturbance — the structure spans over the granite and limestone terrain rather than grading through it. This approach is preferred in sensitive shoreline areas and marshy sections along Lake Buchanan.
