Lake Lavon is a 21,400-acre Corps reservoir on the East Fork of the Trinity River in Collin County - a northeast Dallas suburbs lake with active recreational use and residential development. Lakefront homeowners and commercial properties on Lake Lavon regularly need construction work to maintain waterfront access and shoreline stability.
Construction on Lake Lavon requires understanding the reservoir's specific operating regime - a northeast Dallas suburbs lake with active recreational use and residential development. Water level variation affects dock design, and substrate at each site determines pile embedment depth. Army required waterway coordination and reservoir shoreline management plans govern all construction here.
Shore Protect Team offers Coastal Erosion Control in Lake Lavon, TX. Our services include dock construction adapted for seasonal draw-down, bulkhead and retaining wall systems, and boat slip and lift construction. We handle all required coordination with the reservoir authority and Corps.

Shore Protect Team provides shoreline erosion control, dock and pier construction, retaining wall installation, and bank stabilization for waterfront properties on Lake Lavon in Collin County northeast of Dallas. Lake Lavon is a federal reservoir management flood control and water supply reservoir on the East Fork of the Trinity River - it serves as water supply for North Texas cities through the North Texas Municipal Water District and sees heavy recreational boat traffic from the Dallas-area population.
Lake Lavon's proximity to the Dallas metroplex means the lake receives intense recreational boat traffic from ski boats, wake boats, and pontoon boats during summer weekends - this concentrated boat traffic generates consistent wave loading that dock and retaining wall structures must withstand repeatedly throughout the peak season. Shore Protect Team uses heavier structural standards on Lake Lavon dock systems than on quieter rural lakes - closer piling spacing, heavier framing, and more robust hardware connections resist the sustained recreational wake loading from this busy Collin County reservoir. Retaining walls on Lake Lavon banks must also account for the boat wake erosion component in addition to wind-driven wave conditions.
Shore Protect Team builds concrete block retaining walls and rock riprap revetment for Lake Lavon shoreline erosion control in Collin County. The lake's clay-dominated Blackland Prairie soils are particularly prone to slumping and erosion under the combined wave and boat wake loading - retaining walls on Lake Lavon must address both the wave erosion at the bank face and the soil stability of the clay embankment behind the wall. Shore Protect Team assesses the clay soil conditions and wave exposure at each Lake Lavon erosion site before specifying retaining wall type and embedment depth.
Send Shore Protect Team your Lake Lavon property location in Collin County and photos of your shoreline erosion, dock, and retaining wall conditions. We assess the Corps requirements and wave loading conditions for your specific Lake Lavon location and provide a preliminary cost estimate.
