Yes, you must have an approved permit from Lake Management.

No, Docks are allowed on the majority of properties; however, there are some areas that have been designated as critical habitat areas. The shoreline may not be improved on or modified in these particular areas. 

We do all of our seawall work in the winter when the lake is low. We do all of our dock building the rest of the year when the water is high.

We can build both. The majority of out customers build fixed docks with an open boathouse. This will vary upon your location and the permitting rules.

This will vary on how well your boat dock is maintained. It will also depend on if your dock is located on the open lake or in a cove. In general a well maintained dock could last for 20+ years.

No. Only open boathouses are permitted on Lake Greenwood. Enclosed boathouses are not allowed due to safety concerns for boaters and sight limitations they may cause. You need to be able to see other boaters, and they need to able to see you.

One of the most common causes of seawall failure is soil erosion at the back of the seawall. This can be caused by drainage issues.  Contact us to schedule an inspection of your seawall. It is fixable, but sooner rather that later is better.

The level of the lake is controlled by Lake Greenwood Management under the direction of Greenwood County. The Rule Curve is a Federally mandated guide for water levels in Lake Greenwood. The Rule Curve stipulates where the lake level should be during the year. Full pool is considered 439. County lowers the lake level beginning at the end of October to 434.50 and beginning raising it in late January. This provides time for work to be done on seawalls and docks.

110′. As long as your dock does not extend past 1/3 the total distance from your shoreline to the opposite shoreline; your dock does not create a safety hazard for navigation of watercraft.

Your dock can be no more than 1200 sq. ft. of surface area.
