Lakes We Serve · TX

Marine construction on Lake Tyler.

Spread across Smith County, Lake Tyler is a roughly 4,700-acre whose waterfront communities center on Tyler, Whitehouse, and Arp.

Know the Water

Twin-basin city water southeast of Tyler.

Water levels here stay comparatively steady, which rewards fixed piers, full-height bulkheads, and boathouses built tight to the waterline. The City of Tyler 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 Lake Tyler.

Custom Boathouses

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

01

Who approves shoreline construction on Lake Tyler?

City of Tyler — 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 Lake Tyler?

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 Lake Tyler?

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