Lakes We Serve · TX

Marine construction on Lake Livingston.

Lake Livingston is a roughly 83,000-acre lake on Trinity River spanning Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, and Walker counties, serving the Livingston, Onalaska, Coldspring, and Point Blank area.

Know the Water

Shore Tech's home water — boathouses, bulkheads, and dredging across the lake.

Water levels here stay comparatively steady, which rewards fixed piers, full-height bulkheads, and boathouses built tight to the waterline. The Trinity River Authority oversees the shoreline, and dock and bulkhead work runs through its permitting program — requirements Shore Tech folds into the design from day one.

This is Shore Tech's home lake. The Henderson entertainment boathouse was framed over this water, and our precision dredge has restored slips and shorelines up and down the Trinity arm — we know Livingston's coves, soils, and bottom conditions firsthand.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Lake Livingston.

Custom Boathouses

Entertainment-grade boathouses on Lake Livingston — 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 Lake Livingston: 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 Lake Livingston.

Do I need a permit from the Trinity River Authority?

Almost always, yes — dock, bulkhead, and dredging work on Lake Livingston runs through the Trinity River Authority's shoreline program. Shore Tech prepares and manages that application as part of the project.

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

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.

Does Shore Tech build on Lake Livingston?

Yes — Lake Livingston sits inside Shore Tech's core service area, within roughly 120 miles of our Huntsville base. We build here regularly.
