Loudon County
Dock Builder in Lenoir City
Lenoir City is built around the water. Fort Loudoun Dam is here, on City Park Drive, next to the 33-acre Lenoir City Park and its boat ramp. Fort Loudoun Lake stretches upstream toward Knoxville, a short canal connects it to Tellico Lake, and the dam’s lock leads down to Watts Bar Reservoir. The city traces its roots to Major William B. Lenoir’s settlement in the early 1800s and the railroad stop once known as Lenoir’s Station, and it emerged as a city in 1907. DOCK&DECK serves Lenoir City homeowners with custom boat docks on main-channel and cove lots, plus decks, outdoor living spaces and pools at home.
Building Boat Docks in Lenoir City
Because several bodies of water meet near Lenoir City, we start every project at your shoreline rather than with a standard plan. On Fort Loudoun’s main channel, a dock needs pilings, framing and a roof structure sized for wind and boat wake. In a cove, the width and depth of the water off your bank set how far the dock can reach, which way the slips face and how the walkway meets the shore. We look at your bank, your water and how you use the lake, then design the dock, roof and lift around it.
TVA Permits for Lenoir City Docks
Boat docks and shoreline work on Fort Loudoun, Tellico and Watts Bar need a TVA Section 26a permit before construction starts. We prepare and submit your TVA permit paperwork at no charge. You pay TVA’s application fee. Some neighborhoods and jurisdictions require their own approval before a dock can be built. It’s the homeowner’s responsibility to know what their subdivision or jurisdiction requires and to let us know, and we’re glad to assist with any additional permits.
According to TVA, Fort Loudoun is kept at a minimum winter elevation of approximately 807 feet, with a typical summer level between approximately 812 and 813 feet.
Shoreline Stabilization
Wakes from passing boats wear away an unprotected bank a little more every season. We install riprap shoreline stabilization on Lenoir City lots, either as part of a new dock project or on its own for a lot that already has a dock.
Decks & Outdoor Living in Lenoir City
A deck or covered outdoor space should fit the house and the way you use the yard. We build composite and hardwood decks, with privacy screens, stairs and multi-level designs where the lot calls for them, plus covered pavilions, outdoor kitchens and patios. On a lake lot, one team can plan the deck, the way down to the water and the dock so the details match.
Pools & Hardscapes in Lenoir City
Pools are built by Tennessee Pool & Spa, our pool division since 2020: same team, same standards. Planning the pool, patio and deck together keeps the details consistent across the backyard.
