Dock Design and Installation
A well-designed dock is more than just a place to tie up your boat — it’s an extension of your waterfront property. Whether you're looking for a simple fishing platform, a multi-slip dock for larger vessels, or a full-featured recreational space, we offer custom dock solutions tailored to your specific needs.
We handle every phase of the project — from planning and permitting to piling installation and decking. Our team works with high-quality materials including pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, aluminum framing, and stainless steel hardware to ensure durability and long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments.
Dock Types We Offer:
-
Fixed Docks: Ideal for stable water levels and long-term durability.
-
Floating Docks: Great for fluctuating tides or deeper water.
-
Combination Docks: Integrating fixed and floating sections for versatility.
Features To Consider:
-
Boat lifts and kayak launches
-
Fish cleaning stations
-
Covered seating areas
-
Lighting and electrical hookups
-
Safety railings and ladders
Every project starts with an on-site consultation to evaluate your shoreline conditions, water depth, and usage goals. We then design a dock that complements your lifestyle, property, and local environmental regulations.

"Recently, our 19-year-old dock was in need of much repair, so we hired Don Russkamp of Top Dog Marine Construction. Not only is the finished result a quality product, but his crew was polite, knowledgeable and professional. They worked through some of the hottest days of the summer and did everything we asked of them. We recommend them highly."
Mary Harrell-Sesniak
Florida Customer
"I found myself in need of some major work to be done a dock on a home we just purchased. The owner came out to inspect our dock for what needed to be done. He was on time, knowledgeable and reasonable. I now have full confidence that my dock will last for years!!"

"Top Dog has done a couple of marine related jobs for me and I would be happy to recommend them. They are definitely one of the best in both service and price that I have had the pleasure of dealing with! Very professional!"
George Dahlquist
Florida Customer
"These guys took on a seemingly impossible bulkhead replacement in a very tight space, when no one else would. Not only did they complete it in a timely fashion, they thought outside the box to get all the pilings driving in within one foot of a covered porch. I myself am a plumber and I know good hard work when I see it. They are responsive and will never leave you guessing."
Jack Woods
Florida Customer
"We have a 210 foot equestrian bridge in our Bartram Downs Community that was washed out during a storm that left it in a toppled over mess. Top Dog Marine came in and disassembled most of it, drove new pilings and re-erected it. It looks as good now as it did before the storm. These guys are on top of their game, professional, and courteous. A job well done. Thanks Bartram Downs Homeowners Association."

"After being hit hard by hurricane Mathew and then Irma, our dock was a roller coaster. Our property was such a mess I didn't even know where to begin. Luckily I had previously met Donnie the owner and he was quick to jump in and not only fix the damage, but build us a better living space outdoors. I never worried about his employees showing up or the project being overly delayed by weather, it always progressed."
Jenny Smith
Florida Customer
"Here is what I love and appreciate about Top Dog Marine: They show up on time, deliver on their word, keep in touch, and let you know what is happening, they have integrity, and they clean up after themselves. They are well respected in the industry, and my dock looks great! If you dont use them, your missing out."
