A pier on Lake Buchanan is the primary connection between waterfront property and the water. The lake's freshwater conditions, granite and limestone substrate, and strong wind fetch on large open water, significant level fluctuations all determine how the pier must be engineered — from piling depth and spacing to decking material and load rating.
Shore Protect Team builds piers on Lake Buchanan from treated wood, composite, and aluminum — selecting the material that matches the owner's budget, maintenance preference, and exposure conditions. Pilings are driven to refusal or engineered depth in granite and limestone, ensuring long-term stability through the full range of water levels.

Most residential piers on Lake Buchanan take 1 to 3 weeks from mobilization to completion. Timeline depends on pier length, water depth, granite and limestone driving conditions, and weather. Larger commercial or multi-slip piers may take longer.
Starting at $20 per square foot for labor and materials on Lake Buchanan. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in granite and limestone, and any covered or specialized features.
If pilings are sound and plumb, most superstructure damage can be repaired — rotted decking, damaged stringers, corroded hardware. If pilings are leaning, broken, or settled unevenly in the granite and limestone, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
