We can’t wait to help you with your new boat dock designs!

Recreational Services LLC can help you create the best boat dock designs. Plus, we can even make custom accessories that go with your new dock – we have designed everything from boat slips to hammocks and more! Our team is collaborative in our approach to helping you design and build the dock that you’ve been waiting for. Plus, we can provide the expertise to help you make important decisions along the way. For example, what will be the primary purpose of your new dock? Will it be used for access to a boat or pontoon, fishing or swimming, work events and parties, sunbathing and relaxation, or something else? How much money do you want to spend upfront to get the dock of your dreams? How much time, money, and energy are you willing to spend on maintenance over the lifespan of your dock? Will you want to place furniture on your new dock (and therefore want additional width or space to fit these pieces of furniture)? Do you plan to fish off your new dock and want a built-in bench or storage unit that can hold your equipment for easy access? Will your dock be situated in full sunlight and therefore need a sun-resistant decking material? Do you expect kids or adults to jump off the dock? Should your dock design accomodate for that type of use in a safe manner? Is your new dock going to be placed in shallow water? Would a railing be helpful in ensuring that nobody falls off the dock or so that family members can walk along the dock more easily? These are all questions that need to be answered when considering dock designs. We are ready and able to help you explore your options and find answers!

boat Dock Designs

At Recreational Services LLC, we prefer, sell, and design maintenance free vinyl docks made of aluminum construction and stainless steel and zinc plated hardware. We believe these vinyl docks make the best choice for new docks and dock designs, because:

• Vinyl boat dock designs have the option for custom layouts and design.
• Vinyl boat dock designs can withstand waves and storms due to flow-through design.
• Vinyl boat dock designs require no maintenance and are long lasting.
• Vinyl boat dock designs are more resistant to the sun’s rays.
• Vinyl Boat dock designs tend to be lighter than wood, composite, or plastic decking, making the decking easier to remove for inspection or storage.

When you are ready to design your new dock, or if you would like to talk to an expert about the right dock design for your family, then please call Recreational Services LLC at 1 (231) 633-1665. Our company is #1 in dock sales for Northern Michigan and is an authorized TriMet Dock dealer specializing in TriMet Dock sales. When designing a dock with us, we offer a complimentary waterfront consultation. This complimentary waterfront consultation allows us to personally measure your water depth and assess your waterfront area, so that we can provide you with an exact quote and additional recommendations. We provide services to the Long Lake, Silver Lake, Glen Lake, Crystal Lake, Platte Lake, Duck Lake, Green Lake, North Lake Leelanau, South Lake Leelanau, Spider Lake, Arbutus Lake, Lime Lake, Little Traverse Lake, and Torch Lake areas.

In addition to having the lowest prices on these top of the line vinyl docks, we also have all of the accessories you could need. We offer custom accessories that go with your new dock, things such as dock patios and ladders, platforms for docks, custom dock steps, dock benches and bumpers, and kayak or stand up paddleboard racks. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, then please know we are up to the challenge for a new custom accessory design! Feel free to give us a call today. As you do, consider having a sketch or a general layout for what you are hoping to see in your new dock and docking system. By understanding your dock conditions, such as whether or not you are exposed to open water, whether or not your water level is normal or deep, how much sunlight hits your dock at different times of the day, etc., you will be more prepared to create the best dock design for your family.
