FAQs
Answers to Your Lakefront Service Questions
Learn how our non-invasive dredging and stump removal methods protect your property while keeping your waterfront functional and safe.
How does your silt removal process work for docks and boat lifts?
We use a floating dredge boat with a vacuum-style suction system to pump silt and sediment away from your shoreline. This method restores water depth under docks and boat lifts without disturbing your yard or garden.
What makes your underwater stump removal different from other companies?
Our StumpBoats cut and remove submerged stumps right from the water's surface. No divers or heavy land-based equipment are needed, which reduces risk and keeps your shoreline and property safe.
Will your equipment damage my yard, seawall, or dock area?
No. All dredging and stump removal is done from floating equipment on the water. There is no need for trucks or excavators on your property, so your yard and structures remain untouched.
How often should I have my dock or boat lift area dredged?
In most areas of Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, new silt builds up every 5 to 7 years due to current and runoff. Regular maintenance keeps your waterfront usable and helps protect your investment.
Is a permit required for silt removal or underwater stump cutting?
Permit requirements can vary by location and project size. We know the rules for Morgan, Putnam, Greene, Baldwin, and Hancock counties and will help guide you through any needed approvals.
How do underwater stumps threaten swimmers and boats?
Submerged stumps can cause serious injury to swimmers or damage boat motors and props. Removing them is important for keeping your lakefront safe for your family, friends, and guests.
Do you serve the entire Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair area?
Yes. We cover all neighborhoods and coves around Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair, including Morgan, Putnam, Baldwin, Greene, and Hancock counties. We also work with HOAs, Georgia Power, and local officials.
Who will I work with during my project and how involved are the owners?
Every project is personally overseen by Steve Edwards, a licensed builder and real estate agent. You get direct owner involvement from your first call through completion for safety and quality results.
