Waterfront access on Lake Granbury starts with a properly engineered pier. The lake's Brazos River impoundment, historic town square, residential lakefront and wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, recreational boat traffic define the structural requirements — from piling embedment in limestone and clay to decking elevation and span design.
On Lake Granbury, pier construction starts with a piling plan based on soil borings or probe tests in the limestone and clay. Piling spacing, size and embedment depth are engineered — not guessed. The superstructure is then designed for dead load, live load, wind uplift and lateral forces from wind fetch, dam-controlled levels, recreational boat traffic.

Starting at $20 per square foot for labor and materials on Lake Granbury. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in limestone and clay, 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 limestone and clay, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
