Flagpoles in Franklin

A preserved county town with a corporate office corridor built onto the north of it and a Civil War battlefield lying under the south. We cover Franklin and the Williamson County area, including Main Street and the Public Square, the Historic Preservation Overlay blocks around them, Carnton and the Carter House, the Cool Springs and Carothers Parkway office corridor, McEwen Northside, Berry Farms and the Williamson County government buildings.

Wind here. Franklin sits in an inland Middle Tennessee, sheltered suburban area, which works out to roughly 105 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. Very little gets built in Franklin without somebody looking at it first. Downtown sits inside a historic preservation overlay, and exterior work visible from the street there goes to the Historic Zoning Commission for a certificate of appropriateness, judged against the town's own historic design guidelines rather than a general standard. Outside the overlay it is usually a homeowners or property owners association doing the looking, and on a good many Williamson County sites you answer to both, so allow for the pair of them before ordering. Cool Springs is the opposite sort of ground: office campuses on open, graded land beside I-65 with nothing sheltering them, which we size as exposed rather than as the quiet suburb it looks like. Under all of it is the same Central Basin limestone as Nashville, shallow enough on the ridges west of town to turn an augered hole into a cut one.

Most of the people who call us from Franklin are corporate and healthcare offices at Cool Springs, hotels, private and county schools, churches, medical practices, homeowner and community associations, and shops and restaurants downtown.
