When lake levels drop for winter around Tellico and Fort Loudoun, shoreline trees show what the water has been hiding all summer.
The seasonal TVA drawdown exposes banks around Greenback, Loudon County, and the lakefront neighborhoods nearby. It is a good time to look for exposed or undercut roots, trees leaning toward the water, and banks eroding out from under trunks. Water oaks, sycamores, and river birches along the bank are often the first to show the strain.
Shoreline trees lose anchoring as waves and changing water levels wash soil away year after year. A tree that looks solid from the dock can have far less root support on the lake side than homeowners realize.
Lower water also makes it easier to prune or remove problem trees along the bank before winter wind arrives. Our crew works lakefront properties throughout the area and leaves shorelines clean when the job is done.
