This Lake Lanier bank was undercut; trees fell, and soil washed into the lake every season. We graded it back to a stable 2:1 slope, laid geotextile fabric, and armored 155 feet of shoreline with rip rap rock, installed by barge.

Swipe to see how it came together. 👉

If your bank is starting to slip, we’ll walk it with you and tell you what it needs.

Nearly 300 feet of shoreline protection, cleanup, and one very happy Lake Lanier homeowner. 👏

Our Marine Specialties crew recently completed a major shoreline improvement project in Gainesville, GA, combining nearly 300 feet of rip rap erosion control with tree removal and shoreline cleanup.
The result? A cleaner, safer waterfront with added protection against erosion and potential damage from fallen trees.

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what the homeowner had to say:
⭐️ “MSI did nearly 300 feet of riprap, and the results are outstanding as usual. Most professionally run crew that always showed and delivers above and beyond. We always choose MSI for our lakefront needs. Unmatched.”

There's no better compliment than a customer who continues to trust our team with their lakefront property.

Since 1988, Marine Specialties has helped Lake Lanier homeowners protect and improve their waterfronts with rip rap, shoreline cleanup, tree removal, dock repairs, and more.

Is your shoreline showing signs of erosion, or do you have trees threatening your dock or property? Let's get ahead of it before it becomes a bigger problem.

Boat days are winding down, which means your boat is about to do a whole lot of sitting. Here’s why fall is the ideal time to put it on a HydroHoist.

🌕 Get it out of the water. A boat left in the lake all winter collects algae, scum lines and a soaked hull. On a lift, it stays clean and dry.
🌕 Skip the spring scrub. When the first warm weekend hits, lower it and go.
🌕 Beat the spring rush. Everyone calls about lifts once the weather warms up. Order this fall and yours is in before the crowd calls.
🌕 Built for changing water levels. A HydroHoist floats with your dock, so it rises and falls with the lake all winter long.

Our HydroHoist-certified installation team has been taking care of Georgia and South Carolina lake owners since 1988.
