we offer pond digging pond construction pond cleanouts, lake front renovations dragline long reach excavators pond and lake dredging beach installs

"These guys make you pay $200 before they will even talk to you. Then they make you pay 20% NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT . Then as things move along, they will inform you of certain things, like making a diagram of the area that they say, needs to be detailed and you can do it yourself, but they will not give you any assistance of what the county needs. So, they offer to do it for you for $500. Makes it sound like its difficult. I paid them the NON REFUNDABLE $500 and they sent me the diagram to approve before sending it to the county. Its a Google Map view with a few different shading areas and a few numbers on it. Probably too about 10 minutes to make. Then, after all is said and done, they want the balance paid upon the arrival of the one person that will dig the pond before he even starts. I changed my mind because it was taking way too long and the permits are just crazy. They know people change their minds. Thats why the make you pay up front all the NON REFUNDABLE money.

Amerivet Services is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business serving Southeast Michigan since 2008. We provide services to businesses and consumers alike, with a focus on problem solving.

"I tweaked the door on my dump trailer. To try to save time I ordered a new door, thinking I could just slap it on. Surprise! the door did not match the trailer and had been shoddily constructed with the hinge barrels mis-aligned. I called Amerivet. I didn't get Gary- he sent out two younger guys. They came out and diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. They were both personable, polite and worked well together. Great quality work, very reasonable pricing, great communication. Don't hesitate, call these guys."

Install and repairs boat lifts, hoists and docks. Hoist and dock sales. Also aquatic weed harvesting.

"Big Thank you to Doug at Superior Hoist-Dock in Howell Michigan. I purchased my hoist over twenty years ago. Never had a problem until one day the cable snapped. Doug at Superior Hoist-Dock took my call and was on it right away. They had a pontoon with a small crane on at my dock in a couple of days even though I live over 30 miles away. Fixed my hoist with stainless steel cable and we were back in action in no time. Wow! Thank you for the fast, friendly, and above and beyond service."

Water’s Edge Dock and Hoist – Our Story Despite what many people say, the “American Dream” isn’t dead. It turns out filling a need with rolled up sleeves, hard work, customer care, and a lot of pride can still get you somewhere. We, Garrick and Jerry Wilson, started Water’s Edge Dock and Hoist to supplement the income from our landscaping business. What started as a small client list has turned into our own “Dock Dynasty”. No T.V. show yet, but our operation includes 12 full time employees. In addition to our dock installation and winter removal services, we’ve branched into selling new docks, hoists (boat lifts) and equipment. We are a proud dealer for Great Lakes Lift and Docks. We have also added a custom fabrication shop and mobile trailer for those clients who like to shake things up a bit. Our biggest asset, in size, is our 30-foot hydraulic barge/hoist that services over 100 lakes in the region. If you are on this site, you probably have a passion for the water. We do as well and we proudly live the boating lifestyle. We are lucky enough that our passion translated into a successful business. Our “small list” of customers is now a database of over 650 clients and friends we visit most every season. Whether you are looking for a new dock or hoist (boat lift), or need your current equipment installed, removed or serviced, we are glad you found our site. Give us a call on the “blue phone” hotline and you’ll see how our work ethic and out-of-the-box thinking keeps our clients happy. We’ll see you on the lake! Garrick and Jerry

Dock Building and Repair questions, answered by experts

Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:

  • Are you damaging the environment? Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.

  • Are you blocking access? Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.

  • Can you enclose the dock? Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.

  • Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines? Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.

If your boat dock and seawall appear to be failing at the same time, taking on the projects together may be easier from a permitting perspective. By doing a big project, you can ensure that everything in your property is safe and up to code. Depending on the size and condition of your boat dock, average boat dock repair cost can range from $834 to $5,432.

In most areas, dock builders need some type of license. In some states, only a general construction license might be necessary, while a marine construction license is required in others. You can check online to see which is mandatory in your area, and then you can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to make sure the company holds the proper license. Since dock construction is inherently dangerous, confirm with your builder that they are fully insured for everyone’s protection.

Docks can last between 20 and 30 years, provided regular maintenance has been performed. Upkeep tasks like staining your dock annually to prevent water damage, repairing broken elements quickly, and using dock covers regularly will help extend your dock’s life. Your dock is likely nearing the end of its lifespan when it shows signs of rot, rust, and foundation damage.

The average cost of a new dock piling is $950, including the labor to install it. Dock piling costs can range from $300 to $1,600. You can save money by trying to repair a damaged piling instead of replacing it. On average, repairing a boat dock piling costs $450, with prices ranging between $200 and $700.
