Flagpoles in Murfreesboro

A university and distribution city that has more than tripled in size since 1990, with a national battlefield sitting in the middle of it. We cover Murfreesboro and the Rutherford County area, including the Middle Tennessee State University campus, the courthouse square, Stones River National Battlefield and the Fortress Rosecrans earthworks, the Medical Center Parkway corridor, The Avenue, and the distribution parks along I-24 toward Smyrna.

Wind here. Murfreesboro sits in an inland Central Basin, shallow-soiled 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. Rutherford County is where Middle Tennessee's limestone comes closest to daylight. The cedar glades here — there are protected ones inside the national battlefield and more of them east of the university — are ground where the rock sits under an inch or two of soil, and that is not a foundation anybody augers. On a fair number of sites the hole is cut rather than drilled, which is a rig and a day rather than an afternoon, and it belongs in the price from the start rather than in a revision later. Frontage on Medical Center Parkway falls inside one of the city's gateway design overlay districts, so settle the placement with the city before a pole is ordered. The city has more than tripled since 1990, so a great deal of what we do here is new: school grounds, subdivision entrances and commercial frontage on land that was a field five years ago and has nothing upwind of it.

Most of the people who call us from Murfreesboro are university and school buildings, distribution and light manufacturing plants, medical offices and clinics, hotels, car dealerships, churches and community associations in the newer subdivisions.
