When it comes to lakeside living, it’s the dock that is the true front porch of your waterfront lifestyle. A beautiful dock can elevate the look of your entire lake house, becoming the best place for relaxation, entertainment, and even favorite hobbies, such as gardening! Whether you’re sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, fishing with the kids, or hosting an evening happy hour, the dock is where memories are made.

And now, with innovative solutions like Connect-A-Dock technology and the latest addition of floating garden boxes from Schwig’s, enhancing your dock has never been easier (or more beautiful). 

Upgrade Your Dock with Connect-A-Dock Technology

If your current dock is aging, unstable, or simply not living up to your expectations, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Connect-A-Dock is a modular floating dock system that offers unmatched flexibility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Built from rugged, UV-protected polyethylene, these docks are resistant to weathering, cracking, and rot — meaning a lot less maintenance and much more time enjoying the water.

Connect-A-Dock systems can be configured to match your exact needs, whether you’re looking for a small fishing platform or a large gathering space. The modular design allows you to expand or rearrange your dock as your lifestyle changes. Want to add a kayak launch or a swim platform next season? No problem. The components snap together easily and can be anchored in a variety of ways depending on your shoreline and water conditions.

Not only do these docks look clean and modern, but they also stay cooler in the sun than traditional wood or metal docks, making barefoot summers more comfortable for everyone.

Introducing Floating Garden Boxes at Schwig’s

This season, Schwig’s is proud to introduce floating garden boxes — a brand-new way to beautify your dock and bring the comforts of home right to the water’s edge.

These innovative garden boxes are designed to attach directly to your Connect-A-Dock system, adding vibrant splashes of color and life to your dockscape. Whether you’re planting cascading petunias, aromatic herbs, or fresh vegetables, floating garden boxes make it easy to turn your dock into a lush, green oasis.

Made from marine-grade materials, these boxes are built to withstand the elements while providing the perfect environment for plants to thrive. Their sleek design complements the modern aesthetic of the Connect-A-Dock system, blending form and function seamlessly.

Imagine walking down to the water to pick fresh basil and cherry tomatoes for brunch, or smelling fresh flowers while spending time on the dock with family and friends. With Schwig’s floating garden boxes, you’re expanding your living space into the outdoors. Your dock will quickly turn into your favorite place to relax come sunrise or sunset with the beauty of nature all around you.  

More Than Just Looks: The Livability Factor

A thoughtfully designed dock doesn’t just look better — it makes your lake house more livable. Floating garden boxes add softness and natural beauty to an otherwise industrial space, turning it into a welcoming environment for you, your family, and your guests.

Want to grow lettuce, peppers, or strawberries? With direct sun exposure and easy access to water, docks are surprisingly ideal for container gardening. And for flower lovers, the gentle sway of blooms over the water creates a peaceful, ever-changing scene that rivals any backyard garden.

Incorporating plants also attracts pollinators and beneficial insects, enriching your local ecosystem and creating a more vibrant natural setting around your home.
