Lakes We Serve · LA

Marine construction on Cross Lake.

Spread across Caddo Parish, Cross Lake is a roughly 8,600-acre whose waterfront communities center on Shreveport.

Know the Water

Shreveport's water supply and its boathouse lake.

Water levels here stay comparatively steady, which rewards fixed piers, full-height bulkheads, and boathouses built tight to the waterline. The City of Shreveport controls the lake and its shoreline, and dock approvals run through the city — a process we handle as part of the project.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Cross Lake.

Custom Boathouses

Entertainment-grade boathouses on Cross Lake — open-gable cooling, lifts, lighting, and storm-rated substructures.

Docks & Piers

Fixed, floating, and swim piers built tight to a constant-level shoreline.

Bulkheads & Retaining Walls

Shoreline retention on Cross Lake: galvanized steel, vinyl, FRP composite, and heavy timber — matched to the soil and exposure.

Precision Dredging

Boat slip, shoreline, and access-channel dredging — material pumped for backfill reuse instead of hauled off by truck.

Things To Know

Before you build on Cross Lake.

01

Who approves shoreline construction on Cross Lake?

City of Shreveport — and requirements change over time, so we verify the current rules and carry the approvals as part of every project rather than leaving them to the owner.

02

Does a stable lake level make construction easier on Cross Lake?

It helps — fixed piers and full-height bulkheads thrive on constant-level water. The structure can be built tight to the waterline without designing for a huge seasonal swing.

03

Does Shore Tech build on Cross Lake?

Yes, selectively. Dave regularly travels for the right project, and Cross Lake is squarely inside Shore Tech's working footprint across Texas, southern Oklahoma, and western Louisiana. Call to talk through scope and scheduling.
