There's something you notice right away about Mac Bedor. He shows up when he says he will, he does exactly what he promises, and he leaves your dock cleaner than he found it. Every single time.
Mac is the owner of Southern Dock Solutions, a full-service dock cleaning and maintenance company serving Lake Oconee and if you're a waterfront homeowner who has ever spent a beautiful Saturday morning scrubbing spider webs, pressure washing algae off decking, or worrying about whether your boat lift is holding up after last week's storm, Mac built this business specifically for you.
From the Fire Station to the Waterfront
Mac didn't stumble into the lake life business. He was already living it, just doing it the hard way.
A firefighter working two full-time fire department jobs, Mac is also a husband and father of three boys. Between shifts and school pickups and the general beautiful chaos of family life, he kept coming back to the same realization: there had to be a better way to build something meaningful, something that kept him on the water and let him be present for his family. So he started Southern Dock Solutions.
"I wanted to create something where I could be more family-oriented and help people enjoy their days on the lake," Mac says, and it shows in how he runs his business. The same values that make a good firefighter: reliability, attention to detail, showing up ready to handle whatever the day brings, are exactly what Mac brings to every dock he services.
And yes, he'll be the first to tell you: pressure washing is a little therapeutic. But don't let that fool you. The man is thorough.
Dock Cleaning & Maintenance Done Right
Owning a waterfront property on Lake Oconee is one of life's genuine luxuries. Maintaining it? That's a different story. Georgia's humid subtropical climate is relentless on docks, algae buildup accelerates wood decay, mayflies and mud daubers nest in every corner, spider webs collect debris faster than you can clear them, and one serious storm can leave behind a mess that takes an entire weekend to sort out.
Mac's approach is systematic and thorough. Every visit starts with a complete spider web and mud dauber removal - because, as he puts it, clearing the webs is the key to reducing the mayfly buildup and keeping everything clean from the top down. From there, he pressure washes the dock decking, checks hardware, tightens boards, and inspects the overall condition of your setup. Canvas canopies on your boathouse? He's got that covered too.
His services extend well beyond a basic wash. Southern Dock Solutions also handles:
Boat cleaning and detailing: so your vessel is guest-ready when you need it
Minor dock repairs: board tightening, hardware checks, and anything that keeps your dock structurally sound
Installations: dock ladders, solar lights, dock lighting, and bumpers
Storm checks: if you're not on the lake full-time and a severe storm rolls through, Mac will head out and make sure everything is intact and operational
That last one matters more than people realize. For non-resident lakefront owners, those who live away from the lake and visit seasonally or on weekends, peace of mind is priceless. Knowing someone trustworthy is checking on your dock, your boat lift, and your investment when you can't be there? That's not a luxury. That's just smart ownership.
Plans Built Around Your Lake Life
Southern Dock Solutions offers flexible membership plans designed to fit how you actually use the lake. Whether you're a full-time resident who wants consistent, recurring care year-round or a non-resident owner who needs seasonal coverage and occasional check-ins, Mac has a plan that works.
Full-time resident plans include routine monthly maintenance so your dock and boat are always ready when the weekend calls. Non-resident plans are built around the peace of mind that comes from knowing your property is being looked after: boat lift checks, dock condition assessments, and post-storm walkthroughs all included.
Monthly subscribers also get a perk that's hard to put a price on: if you have a birthday party, a family reunion, or a lake weekend coming up, Mac will schedule a courtesy pre-event clean to make sure everything looks its best before guests arrive and come back after to handle the cleanup.
