Smith County
Waterfront Construction in
Bullard, TX
Bullard straddles the Smith/Cherokee county line on the north shore of Lake Palestine — fast-growing Tyler-commuter market with a mix of lakefront residential and acreage with private ponds.
On the ground in Bullard
North-shore Lake Palestine is UNRMWA jurisdiction, and Bullard sits at the transition where the lake narrows toward the upper river arm. Water-level swings here are more pronounced than on the deeper Smith County side near the dam, which influences piling length and pushes some clients toward articulating systems instead of fixed docks. Bullard's growth has also brought a wave of private-pond construction on the acreage side of US-69 — pond dredging and dam repair are a steady part of our Bullard book.
