Dock Ownership, Simplified.

Boat Dock Moving & Management Plan

Managing your dock during changing water levels can be time consuming, painful and the ultimate drag. Let us shoulder this burden for you.

At Martin Docks, we offer Lake Lanier’s premier Dock Watch Program. Dock Watch is a comprehensive dock management service providing twice-monthly inspections, adjustments, and detailed reporting to ensure your dock, cables, anchors, flotation, and ramp are properly maintained, safely positioned, and fully functional, with water depth optimized for smooth boat lift operation.

Trusted Dock Experts Since 1956

Dock Watch is synonymous with peace of mind: knowing your dock is monitored and automatically adjusted by our experienced service teams takes the hassle out of boat dock management and allows you to enjoy your time at the lake and out on the water.

Dock Watch Service Areas

Martin Docks’ Dock Watch Program provides reliable dock monitoring and dock moving services across North Georgia and Western North Carolina, including Lake Lanier, Lake Chatuge, Lake Nottely, Lake Blue Ridge, and the surrounding lakes in between.

Our team performs scheduled inspections, water-level adjustments, and safety checks to keep your dock level, secure, and protected year-round. Whether your shoreline faces steep terrain, fluctuating water levels, or heavy lake traffic, or you’re not there year-round, our Dock Watch Program ensures your dock stays in the right position and performs at its best, no matter the season.

Dock Watch Program Vs. One-Time Dock Move

Dock Watch is a proactive, year-round service that includes twice-monthly inspections, routine dock adjustments, and ongoing monitoring of critical components like cables, anchors, flotation, and ramps to keep your dock properly positioned as water levels change. 

A one-time dock move, on the other hand, is a single service performed to reposition or relocate a dock due to a specific need such as relocation, repairs, upgrades, or seasonal adjustments. While a one-time move addresses an immediate issue, Dock Watch provides continuous oversight and early issue detection, helping prevent costly damage and offering long-term peace of mind.
