Flagpoles in Auburn

A university town with a compact commercial core and a research park, and a steady run of school, church and community-association work around them. We cover Auburn and the Lee County area, including the Auburn University campus and Samford Hall, Toomer's Corner and College Street, the Urban Core downtown blocks, the Auburn Research Park, Auburn University Regional Airport, Ogletree and Moores Mill, and Opelika next door.

Wind here. Auburn sits in an inland, wooded Piedmont area, which works out to roughly 110 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Auburn is Piedmont ground: red clay over saprolite, which is rock weathered so far that it digs like soil right up until it stops being soil, and how deep that goes decides what the hole costs more than the height on the order does. Above ground the constraint is trees. The city protects them by ordinance, keeps a Tree Commission with a view on the streetscape, and the oaks at Toomer's Corner tell you plainly enough how the town feels about the subject, so where the flag can fly clear of the canopy gets settled before the sightline does. Downtown, redevelopment inside the Urban Core district is held to design standards written for those blocks, which makes height and finish part of the approval rather than an afterthought.

Most of the people who call us from Auburn are university and research buildings, public and private schools, churches, homeowner and community associations, medical and professional offices, hotels and downtown retail frontage.
