Lake Livingston Bulkheads and Boathouses
Detail your services
We install wood and galvanized steel bulkheads on Lake Livingston. All lumber used in construction is .60 pressure treated specifically for water contact, and all pylons are driven to a minimum of five feet. Each sheet on our wood bulkheads is compressed to maintain the best possible connection. Our steel bulkheads use 8 gauge galvanized sheet piles with a minimum of 40% of the total wall length in the mud or 5 feet, whichever is more. Concrete and sheet pile tie backs are also available on Lake Livingston

Lake Livingston Boathouses, Lifts, & Piers
Ivy Construction designs and builds custom permanent pile boathouses, docks, pilie driving services and piers on Lake Livingston. As a builder we offer many designs and a variety of options regarding roof angles, pole wraps, rooftop decks, wrap around platforms, walkways, shingles, water lines, electrical outlets, enclosed ceilings, and painted Hardiplank columns. We are also one of the few contractors on Lake Livingston who will also build boathouses out of 8x8 treated pilings. We typically drive our pilings deeper than any other contractor on the lake. We believe currently we are building best looking and most durable boat houses on Lake Livingston. Being a waterfront resident since 1985 we understand the importance of building something to last.
Boathouses are a valuable asset in preserving the life of your watercraft. Ivy Construction installs lifts for all types of watercraft including power boats, fishing boats, sailboats, and jet skis. We offer several types of boatlifts including box lifts, cradle lifts, and elevator lifts. All llifts feature a cable retention system to keep your cables locked and perfectly wrapped. Other dock ammenities we offer include hand railing, sliding step ladders, gangways, and aluminum fish cleaning tables.
On all boathouses we build use all galvanized fasteners and hardware, and every connection is double bolted to reduce any flexing. All wood is pressure treated and decking is secured with hand driven, 20 penny ring shank nails. We recommend using CWF-5 Flood to maintain your deck from the damaging effects of sunlight.
