Lakes We Serve · TX

Marine construction on Lake Palestine.

Lake Palestine sits on Neches River in Smith, Cherokee, Henderson, and Anderson counties, with most of its waterfront activity around Tyler, Bullard, Chandler, and Frankston.

Know the Water

Tyler's big water — long coves and serious residential shoreline.

As working water-supply storage, the level moves with rainfall and demand — so structures are designed around a realistic operating range rather than a single lake level. The Upper Neches River Municipal Water Authority oversees the shoreline, and dock and bulkhead work runs through its permitting program — requirements Shore Tech folds into the design from day one.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Lake Palestine.

Custom Boathouses

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

Docks & Piers

Fixed, floating, and swim piers sized to the lake's real operating range.

Bulkheads & Retaining Walls

Shoreline retention on Lake Palestine: 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 Palestine.

01

Do I need a permit from the Upper Neches River Municipal Water Authority?

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

02

How do changing water levels on Lake Palestine affect a project?

Water-supply reservoirs move with rainfall and demand. We check the lake's historic range and design the structure — and the construction schedule — around it.

03

Does Shore Tech build on Lake Palestine?

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