Wisconsin's Finest Wood Docks

The cost of a custom wood dock in Wisconsin depends on your dock’s size, layout, features, and decking type. We’ll meet with you in person, discuss design options, and help you understand how each choice affects cost and performance. You’ll see clear pricing upfront so you can find what works best for your shoreline and your budget. No pressure, just clarity.

Aluminum docks are lightweight and easy to move, but they often shift in wind and waves and usually need to be removed before winter. They also look less natural, are not as customizable, and can feel noisy or unstable.

That’s why Rock Docks specializes exclusively in custom wood docks. Our wood docks offer better stability, natural beauty, and long-term value for Wisconsin waterfront homeowners. They’re strong, quiet, and can often stay in the water all year, depending on your lake location. With wood, you also get complete design freedom, whether you want a wider platform, larger sundeck, built-in stairs, or other custom features.

Wood docks are the preferred choice for most Wisconsin lakes because they feel sturdier underfoot, stay cooler in the sun, and deliver that timeless lake-life look that aluminum can’t match. Aluminum docks are lighter and easier to move, but they can be noisy and prone to shifting in strong wind or ice. Wood docks are quieter, more customizable, and can be modified or repaired easily, making them the ideal long-term choice for local lakefronts.

Absolutely! Rock Docks designs and installs custom wood docks on rivers, ponds, and lakes across Southern Wisconsin. Each waterfront is different, so we start with an on-site visit to evaluate your shoreline, depth, and lakebed. Then we create a dock that fits your property perfectly: functionally, visually, and structurally.

It depends on your lake and how ice forms or moves through winter. Some protected bays on Wisconsin lakes allow docks to stay in all year, while others need seasonal removal. During your consultation, Rock Docks will assess your shoreline and recommend the safest setup for your dock’s longevity.

Most custom dock builds take a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the design, location, and season. Spring is our busiest time, so contacting Rock Docks early ensures your pier is designed, built, and ready before summer starts.

Every new Rock Docks build includes professional installation and free removal and disposal of your old dock. You’ll also get clear communication and local expertise every step of the way. From design to installation, we handle everything so you can enjoy a stress-free experience and a dock that’s built to last.

Rock Docks offers two durable decking options, both built on the same high-quality wood frame that defines every Rock Docks pier.

Wood Decking - Classic and Naturally Beautiful

Our wood docks bring timeless charm to any waterfront, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape. Designed for durability, they provide a strong, stable foundation for years of lakeside memories.

Our composite docks use high-performance Lumberock marine-grade decking, offering a sleek, low-maintenance surface that resists moisture, fading, and wear. Available in 12 colors, it’s the perfect choice for a durable dock that looks great season after season.
