Built for Eight Feet of Tide
The Savannah build is the tidewater classic — walkway across the marsh, fixed pierhead, floating dock — engineered around a tide range that changes everything: taller pilings, longer gangways (or the float grounds out at low water), deeper float guides, and framing sized for a load-cycle count most coasts never see. Creek docks off the Herb and Skidaway build lighter; Wilmington River frontage takes wake and fetch that argue for heavier everything.
| Project | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Rebuild on existing footprint | $25,000 – $55,000 |
| New walkway + pierhead + floater | $40,000 – $70,000 |
| Long-marsh or river-front build with lift | $70,000 – $90,000+ |
Most “new dock” projects here are really rebuilds on valuable existing footprints — a far lighter path through Georgia’s marshlands permitting than new construction, which runs the full CRD course and typically takes longer than the build itself. Either way the paperwork is handled for you; start it a season before you want to be on the water.
