Serving Spring Lake, the Grand River, Lake Michigan, and all Grand Haven-area waterways. Professional dock and lift service for one of West Michigan's most active waterfront communities.
Grand Haven and Spring Lake form one of West Michigan's premier waterfront communities. Spring Lake — a sheltered 1,200-acre lake connected to the Grand River — offers some of Ottawa County's most desirable waterfront. The Grand River itself sees significant boat traffic between Spring Lake and Lake Michigan, with strong current and some of the area's most complex dock conditions.
We service the full range of Grand Haven-area waterways: Spring Lake residential properties, Grand River riparian lots, and Lake Michigan shoreline access where applicable. Each of these waterways has distinct conditions — we bring the right expertise for all of them.
Spring Lake is a navigable waterway — federal rules under the Army Corps of Engineers may apply to dock placement and size, in addition to state and local rules. Properties on the Grand River face current and boat traffic that demands different anchoring than a still inland lake.
We know the applicable rules for Grand Haven-area waterways and advise you on what permits and requirements apply to your specific property. No surprises after installation.
Spring Lake, Grand River, Lake Michigan — we build for each waterway's real conditions.

Call (231) 227-8885"Our dock on Spring Lake needed full replacement — old corroded posts, rotted boards, the works. Great Lakes Dock Works quoted the job fairly, completed it in two days, and the new dock is excellent. They also advised us on the township setback rules we didn't know about. Really professional operation."
"Used Great Lakes Dock Works for fall removal on Spring Lake for the second year in a row. They show up when they say, do the job quickly and cleanly, and store everything properly. Easy, reliable, and worth every penny. Will use them again in spring for reinstallation."
