Docks
Marine-grade lumber, galvanized hardware, decades of life. Pile-driven foundations.
Tim's Ford Lake stretches 34 miles across Franklin and Moore counties in Middle Tennessee — a quieter, clearer alternative to the East Tennessee chain. We design, permit, and build the full catalog across all 10,700 acres.
Tim's Ford Lake covers 10,700 acres on the Elk River, impounded by the Tim's Ford Dam in 1970. Franklin and Moore counties define the shoreline — rural, residential, and increasingly popular as a Nashville-day-trip lake destination.
Moderate seasonal drawdown (~12 feet) opens up both fixed and floating dock options. The lake's clean water and quieter character make it a favorite for cabin and second-home builds, with premium finishes increasingly common.

Tim's Ford's ~12-foot swing splits the difference between low-drawdown lakes like Chickamauga and big-drawdown lakes like Norris. Both fixed and floating builds work; the choice usually comes down to shoreline depth and owner preference for winter usability.
