⚠️ DOCK OWNER ALERT | WEEKEND STORM PREPARATIONS ⚠️

With heavy rainfall and strong winds headed toward North Georgia, now is the time to check your dock cables, secure loose items, and prepare for changing lake levels!

🌧️ Heavy rainfall can raise lake levels faster than TVA can release water. As docks rise, cables can become slack, allowing docks to shift sideways or placing additional stress on remaining connections during high winds.

A few things to remember:

✅ Check anchor cables, winches, and shoreline attachments.

✅ Secure boats, lifts, furniture, and loose accessories.

✅ Make sure kayaks, PWCs (jet skis), and paddleboards are properly secured so they don't become airborne or end up floating down the lake.

⚠️ If your dock turns sideways, don't be the "hold my b**r" person trying to straighten it during the storm! 🍺

A roofed dock acts like a giant kite. Even winds over 10 mph can make moving one a fight you don't want to have. Stay off the dock during unsafe conditions and wait until the winds calm before attempting repairs or adjustments.

🌊 We're keeping an eye on things, too!

We're monitoring weather forecasts, the TVA lake app, and conditions firsthand here on Lake Nottely throughout the storm.

For our neighbors who are here weathering the storm with us, we wish you the best of luck and hope everyone stays safe!

For those of you who aren't in town, we know it's difficult to keep an eye on your dock, boat, or lake property from miles away. If you're concerned about conditions at your property, feel free to reach out to Shores & Moor. We'll do our best to help as conditions allow.

We also offer emergency dock repair services on Lake Nottely, Lake Blue Ridge, and Lake Chatuge once it's safe for our crew to respond.

Stay safe, everyone!

Fall rolled in overnight — hoodies on the boats, leaves starting to drop, and crisp mornings settling over the lake. Our latest project was wrapped up right before this cool weather set in, giving the owner a chance to watch the leaves fall from the comfort of his new dock.

This build is a deluxe gable‑and‑a‑half aluminum dock with a custom side‑entry layout designed exactly the way the owner envisioned it. That’s one of the things we love most about docks — if you can imagine it, we can configure it. Side entries, angled walkways, unique slip setups… there’s a lot of flexibility to make our aluminum products fit your shoreline and your lake life.

Happy Labor Day from Shores & Moor!

What a perfect break from those 90° days — 80°, breezy, partly cloudy, and absolutely no reason to be out here acting wild.

If you’re boating today, keep it safe out there:

Watch for other boats (they pop up faster than lake gossip)

Don’t boat drunk — the lake is not the place for “hold my b**r” energy

Mind your wake zones! Marina workers with a gas pump in their hands don’t need to be wake‑slapped

Take your trash with you! We want another chill lake clean up day with the Lake Nottely Improvement Association

And remember: wind + holiday traffic = surprise chaos

Enjoy the beautiful day, enjoy the lake, and please don’t make the horn go off in the no‑wake zone at Nottely Marina

We build durable products because storms don’t care about shortcuts.

Thick milled aluminum, walkway gussets, outriggers that actually support something, and hip‑roof docks with casted corners built to handle whatever the lake throws at them.

Quick doesn’t equal quality.
Stronger materials, durable welds, and premium construction take time — and that’s why they last.

Our docks are an investment in your lake days — not a bargain‑material buy‑in.
Cheap up front means time and money spent on repairs in the end. Do it once, do it right, and have it built to last.

Premium construction that lasts for decades — that’s why people call Shores & Moor.

Look at what we have been up to!

06/28/2026

Started the year with a small dock in Appling and it snowballed from there — repairs, a 70' walkway to a shore pier, new builds, an Endeck redeck, boat lifts, dock boxes, and kayak racks. And we’re not done yet.

A highlight this year was expanding an over‑decade‑old commercial marina — adding new EZ Dock slips alongside an aluminum ML Docks addition. Our manufacturing team drew up the plans and materials in-house for us to build, making the whole expansion smooth and efficient.

One of our crew families welcomed their first daughter at the end of May, and we even squeezed in a family trip to Augusta to tour the college — wild that we’re already at this stage of life. While we were there, we found the Savannah River flood lines, which were pretty wild to see in person.

Keep an eye out for us on the water in your area — you never know what we’re building next.

Sometimes life piles everything on at once — office repairs, medical recovery, and even one of our crew welcoming a baby who arrived early and spent time in the NICU. Our team has felt all of it these past few weeks.

But we’re still here.
Still working.
Still committed.

Our office is temporarily closed for repairs, and I’m working from home while I heal. Our scheduling and correspondence are running behind, but every customer matters to us, and no one has been overlooked. We’re working through each call and message with care, just like we always have.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support during this stretch. Hard seasons don’t stop us — they remind us why we’re grateful for this community and why we love the work we do.

Through all of the anticipation, and even a couple of weeks early, we are overjoyed to announce one of our beloved crew members has welcomed his first child into the world today!!! Happy Birthday Little One, we can't wait to meet you!

Mama and baby are doing well, while I'm sure Daddy can't stop smiling. We are so happy for your family and wish you all the best newborn baby blessings 🎂🎁🎈🎉💕🧸🤱🏼✨

Four straight days of rain and the lake is finally creeping up — but we’re still sitting about 6.5 feet below full pool.
That slow rise can sneak up on docks, especially when cables haven’t been touched in months.

If you’re around the lake this week, take a minute to check your setup:

Make sure your dock cables are adjusted for the changing water level

Look for tension, slack, or uneven pull

Keep an eye on walkways and anchor points as the shoreline softens from all this rain

A little attention now saves a lot of headache later.
Stay safe out there, and keep those docks happy as the water comes up.
