Wilson Lake & Pickwick Lake Dock Tear-Downs: Calculating Weight & Disposal

## Waterfront Waste Management in The Shoals Maintaining lakefront properties along the Tennessee River, Wilson Lake, and Pickwick Lake involves unique demolition challenges—especially when removing heavy pressure-treated docks, pilings, and shoreline stairs. ### 1. Weight Considerations for Water-Soaked Lumber Pressure-treated dock wood is dense and retains heavy moisture: - A standard 400 sq ft dock tear-down produces between **3.0 to 4.5 tons** of dense lumber, metal brackets, and decking. - We recommend renting a **20-Yard Roll-Off** to provide sufficient volumetric space and generous base tonnage allowance. ### 2. Shoreline Driveway Preservation Many lakefront driveways in Killen and Florence feature steep grades or decorative stamped concrete. Our Endeavor Guard hardwood distribution boards ensure heavy roll-off trucks do not cause stress fractures or paver displacement.
