A Franklin company that grew one yard at a time
Graham Ashby bought a used truck in 2012 and started taking any yard job in Franklin he could get. The trucks multiplied. He still does most first walks himself.
The first few years were mowing, mulch and fixing beds that had washed out. Neighbors started asking whether we could handle a sunken patio or a wall that was leaning, and Graham found out he liked that work more than anything else on the schedule.
Today a designer still starts every job the way Graham did: walking the yard with the owner, probing the clay and sketching the plan at their table. The first walk is free. You leave with a scaled plan, a board of real materials and one fixed price.
We never hand a job to subcontractors. One of our crew leads runs it from the first stake to the last plant, Luis checks it every week, and you get photos every Friday. Hardscape carries a 5-year warranty and plants a 1-year guarantee.
