Discover the Advantages of Floating Docks for Your Shoreline

If you own lakefront, riverfront, or pond‑side property in East Tennessee, adding a floating dock can massively upgrade both the functionality and aesthetic of your waterfront space. At LMH Waterfront Construction, we specialize in custom floating docks that adjust to changing water levels, offer flexible layouts, and are built to last, delivering a waterfront solution that works for you.


Why Choose a Floating Dock?


Floating docks are ideal for fluctuating water levels. Unlike fixed docks, they remain accessible year-round, need less maintenance, and adapt quickly to your shoreline. Customize them for boating, fishing, entertaining, or relaxing.


What LMH Waterfront Construction Offers


LMH Waterfront Construction guides you from consultation to final walkthrough, delivering a custom floating dock for your property. Our process includes:

  • Permits & Approvals – We handle the necessary permits and regulatory requirements to ensure your dock project stays on track and compliant.
  • Site Preparation – We prepare your site for a stable, safe dock foundation.
  • Professional Installation – We utilize high-quality materials, including aluminum framing, polyethylene floats, and composite decking, to ensure a long-lasting dock.
  • Final Inspection & Walkthrough – Once the installation is complete, we inspect the project and walk you through the finished dock, pointing out maintenance tips and answering any questions you may have.


Materials Matter: Quality Construction Without Sacrificing Style


When it comes to floating docks, selecting the right materials makes all the difference - not just for durability, but also for aesthetics and usability. LMH Waterfront Construction utilizes premium structural materials that resist corrosion, water damage, and shifting.


While wood decking offers a classic look, composite decking is a low-maintenance, durable option. Made from wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite boards resist rot, warping, and insect damage. They come in various colors and finishes, providing the warmth of wood with added longevity. LMH Waterfront Construction offers composite options to fit your style and needs.

Choosing the Right Dock Configuration for Your Property


Every shoreline is different. LMH Waterfront Construction designs floating docks based on your water levels, intended use, shoreline features, and budget. From simple platforms to elaborate docks with seating and shade, we tailor each solution to your property.


How to Get the Most from Your Floating Dock


Routine care keeps your floating dock safe and looking great. Inspect floats and framing after storms, rinse decking to remove dirt or algae, trim shoreline vegetation, and regularly tighten hardware to ensure optimal performance. These steps protect your investment and extend the life of your dock.


Do Floating Docks Require Long-Term Maintenance?


Floating docks require minimal maintenance, especially when constructed with high-quality materials such as composite decking and aluminum framing. LMH Waterfront Construction designs docks for minimal upkeep, requiring only routine inspections and rinsing. Our team is always available if questions or issues arise in the future; we’re just a call away. Whether it’s routine care, minor repairs, or planning future upgrades, we’re here to support your dock for the long haul.
