Docks
Marine-grade lumber, galvanized hardware, decades of life. Pile-driven foundations.
Fort Loudoun runs from the Knoxville waterfront down to the Fort Loudoun Dam — 14,600 acres of heavy residential shoreline and ~6 feet of seasonal drawdown. We design, permit, and build the full catalog across the lake.
Fort Loudoun is the uppermost mainstem TVA reservoir on the Tennessee River, impounded by the Fort Loudoun Dam in 1943. 14,600 surface acres stretch 50 miles from Knoxville's waterfront down to the dam, with a connecting canal to Tellico Lake.
Heavy residential dock activity through Knoxville, Louisville, and Lenoir City, plus significant seasonal drawdown, make floating docks our most-installed build here. Fixed docks suit the deeper, more protected coves.

Fort Loudoun runs about 6 feet of seasonal fluctuation, similar to Watts Bar. That swing makes floating docks the default build for most owners who actually want to use the dock in November and February as much as in July.

West Knox County lake-front residential builds.
TVA permits handled, fees included, in-house crew on every build. Same-week site visits typical.
For most properties, floating — the 6-foot drawdown makes fixed docks awkward at winter pool. Sheltered, deeper coves still suit fixed builds. We'll spec based on a site visit.
Yes — Fort Loudoun is TVA-managed. We file, cover the $1,000 fee, and manage TVA review on every build.
The canal connects the two lakes hydraulically but is generally not a build zone itself. We design around it for properties near the connection.
Yes — commercial and marina work both. Urban builds have different access constraints and we plan equipment delivery accordingly.
