Residential Pier & Dock Permits

Ecco has been involved with various levels of pier & dock design and restoration in both fresh and salt water. We have permitted everything from simple pier repairs of caps, stringers and decking, all the way to brand new piers with covered moorage. Regulations on piers have become very stringent and agencies often dictate the size and configurations of new and restored piers. However, our experience and team approach to the design have allowed for functional and attractive piers that add to your property’s aesthetic and overall value while still meeting the strict guidelines of the governing agencies.

A close view of a residential dock shows light-filtering grated decking installed around a moored boat. The open decking supports waterfront access while helping reduce shading over the water below.
A wood-railed gangway connects the shoreline to a residential pier beside a covered boat lift. Durable materials and carefully integrated railings create a secure transition between the property and the water.
A residential waterfront landscape combines a low-profile pier with colorful shoreline plantings and open views across the water. The setting shows how dock access can be incorporated without overwhelming the surrounding garden and shoreline.
A long residential pier with grated decking extends from a landscaped shoreline toward a waterfront home. The simple, unobtrusive design preserves water views while creating direct access between the residence and the lake.
