    LCRA Permit Path

    We’ve walked 400+ permits through LCRA.

    Authority & Approval

    Permits handled. Paperwork done. Build on time.

    Most Lake Travis dock projects stall in permitting. We pre-walk the LCRA path on every job — pre-application meeting, plan submittal, review cycles, and inspections — so your build day actually happens on schedule.

    What Lakefront Owners Say

    Built on referrals. Backed by reviews.

    A small sample of recent work across Lake Travis, Lake Austin, and Canyon Lake — segmented by lake so you can see relevant proof for your shoreline.

    “Nathan's crew rebuilt our piling dock after the 2024 drawdown took out a stringer. Permitted, demo'd, and finished in under nine weeks — and the LCRA paperwork was a non-event for us. Marine-grade everything, clean job site every day.”

    “We interviewed three dock builders. ATX Lakescapes was the only one who actually walked the shoreline with a tape measure, talked us out of an over-built lift, and gave us a transparent price band before any deposit. Installed our 12k hydraulic lift on schedule.”

    “Cable lift had been leaking down overnight for two seasons. They diagnosed a bad solenoid + worn cables in one visit, replaced everything with marine-grade stainless, and set us up on an annual maintenance plan. No more sinking boat.”

    “Total lakefront remodel — pergola, outdoor kitchen, retaining wall, and a refinished dock. Victoria managed the design and Nathan ran the build. They sequenced trades so we never lost lake access during construction. Worth every dollar.”

    “Shoreline was losing two feet a year to wake erosion. Engineered a riprap + native plant solution that LCRA approved on first submission. One season in and the bank is holding beautifully.”

    Canyon Lake · Shoreline Erosion Control

    “Helical pier foundation for a new lakeside deck — no concrete, no excavation, full load tested in a day. Crew showed up on time every single morning. References were not exaggerating.”

    Our Philosophy

    Built from the water up.

    Material Obsession

    We source every board, beam, and bolt for decades of lake exposure — not just the warranty period.

    Engineer-Led Design

    Stamped by a licensed Texas PE where required. We design for the 100-year flood, not the average Tuesday.

    Owner on Every Job

    Our founder is on-site for every pour, every weld, every plank. No subcontractor roulette.

    About Us

    Family Owned. Professionally Run.

    Started on Lake Travis in 2014, ATX Lakescapes has grown from a two-man crew to the Hill Country's most trusted dock builder — without ever losing the hands-on approach that got us here.

    Every project is led by our founder, who's on-site from first piling to final plank. We don't cut corners, we don't sub out the hard stuff, and we don't leave until you're proud of what's in the water.
