10,700 acres of Middle Tennessee reservoir on the Elk River, day-trip reach from Chattanooga. A mix of fixed-dock boathouses on the stable coves and floating systems on the deeper open water.
Tim's Ford runs through Franklin and Coffee counties, with the largest residential build markets in Tullahoma and around Winchester. Drawdowns are modest — about five feet — and most coves hold enough water for a fixed pile-driven dock. The main channel and a few deeper arms run better with floating systems.
Most Tim's Ford builds are covered fixed boathouses with Tide Tamer lifts, gable roofs, and side decks for entertaining. Where shoreline depth or steepness calls for it, we also build aluminum-frame floating systems with Floatair integration.
Custom docks, boat lifts, decks, and shoreline improvements, all designed to make your waterfront more useful, comfortable, and inviting.
Built on pilings driven into the lakebed, our fixed docks provide a sturdy platform for life on the water, with options for covered boat slips, metal roofs, and custom layouts.

How It Works →Fixed + Floating Mix are the most common build here. Here's why — and what else works depending on your shoreline.
Pile-driven covered slip with metal roof and Tide Tamer lift. The Tullahoma and Winchester standard.
Aluminum-frame floating dock for deeper coves and steeper shorelines.
Yes — about an hour and a half from downtown. We've built across the lake from Tullahoma through Winchester and routinely work the Middle Tennessee market.
Yes. Tim's Ford is TVA-managed; every dock needs an approved 26a application. We file and pay it on every build we sign.
Closer to Chickamauga — modest drawdown, residential shoreline, mostly fixed-dock builds with Tide Tamer lifts.
