A pier on Lake Travis is the primary connection between waterfront property and the water. The lake's freshwater with good clarity conditions, limestone bedrock and rocky substrate substrate, and strong wind fetch on large open water, major recreational boat traffic, 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 Travis 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 limestone bedrock and rocky substrate, ensuring long-term stability through the full range of water levels.
Shore Protect Team builds and repairs piers along the full Lake Travis shoreline — near Lakeway, Lago Vista, Volente, Jonestown, Bee Cave. Contact us for a free consultation and on-site assessment.

Pier rehabilitation on Lake Travis: selective demolition, piling evaluation, decking and stringer replacement, and hardware upgrades. Shore Protect Team restores aging piers along Lake Travis near Lakeway, Lago Vista, Volente, Jonestown, Bee Cave to current structural standards.
Most residential piers on Lake Travis take 1 to 3 weeks from mobilization to completion. Timeline depends on pier length, water depth, limestone bedrock and rocky substrate 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 Travis. Final cost depends on pier length, width, decking material, piling depth in limestone bedrock and rocky substrate, 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 bedrock and rocky substrate, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.
Lake Travis experiences strong wind fetch on large open water, major recreational boat traffic, significant level fluctuations. Piers must be designed with adequate freeboard at high water and sufficient depth access at low water. Floating sections or adjustable gangways may be needed on reservoirs with large drawdown ranges.
