Your shoreline is under attack from something slow and relentless: water. Wave action and weather chip away at natural banks season after season — until the land you love starts disappearing.

Rip rap erosion control stops that, and it looks beautiful doing it. Choose bold silver-grey granite or soft, earth-toned river rock: both deliver superior protection and lasting waterfront appeal. Pair it with custom shoreline steps, and you've got a bank that's protected and easy to enjoy.

Since 1988, Marine Specialties has built shorelines across Lake Lanier and beyond — and we know the Army Corps of Engineers permitting rules inside and out, so your project is done right the first time.

A great dock should look beautiful.

It should also be built for what lake life actually brings: wake, wind, storms, changing water levels, heavy use, busy weekends, and all the wear that comes with making the most of the water.

That’s why Marine Specialties is proud to partner with Kroeger Marine.

When we choose a dock system to stand behind, we’re looking for more than a good-looking finished product. We’re looking at what’s underneath it — the frame, foundation, materials, engineering, and craftsmanship that determine how that dock performs years after installation day.

Kroeger Marine docks are built with tough lake conditions in mind, but finished to look like a natural extension of your home. From the materials to the build process, Kroeger puts care into the details homeowners appreciate for years.

Boat covers should not require a wrestling match, a wiring diagram, or a favorable wind forecast.

Marine Concepts — the World’s Best Boat Cover— uses a patented track system that lets the cover glide on and off like a curtain in seconds. One person can cover the boat without motors, electronics, ropes, weights, or the usual dockside performance.

Each cover is digitally measured, 3D-modeled, and hand-sewn for a precise custom fit that seals to the hull, helping keep out bugs, debris, rain, and whatever else the lake decides to contribute.

It is sleek, durable, made in the USA with marine-grade fabric, and built as a long-term investment.

Marine Specialties proudly offers Marine Concepts boat covers throughout Georgia and South Carolina.

Rip rap now, relax later.

Boat wakes on Lake Lanier can be rough on a shoreline, but this before-and-after shows what a difference the right erosion control can make. Our Marine Specialties crew got this bank cleaned up, protected, and looking a whole lot better in no time.

Don’t wait until the lake takes more of your shoreline. Rip rap is the best way to protect your property. COntact us for a shoreline evaluation https://hubs.ly/Q04ktyqy0

Fresh off the drawing board and onto the water. 🌟

At Marine Specialties, we choose Kroeger Marine because their reputation for excellence and integrity has been built over decades — since 1985.

This new Kroeger Marine dock on Lake Lanier is a perfect example of why. While the finished look is beautiful, with clean lines and cable railing that keeps the view wide open, what matters just as much is what you don’t see.

The inside structure of every Kroeger dock is designed with the same level of care as the final details — secure, stable, and engineered to last a lifetime.

Because a great dock should be more than beautiful. It should be built with purpose, precision, and trust from the inside out.
