Franklin yards, built by a Franklin crew
Our barn office and nursery yard are here, and so is most of our work. Graham Ashby started Thornbury in Franklin in 2012 with one truck.
What are we building?
Takes a minute. A designer comes to you.
Franklin lots run from downtown bungalows to subdivisions built in the last twenty years. Under nearly all of them is dense clay a foot or two above limestone, which swells in a wet spring, cracks open in August and lifts a shallow patio after a hard January freeze.
So our Franklin jobs usually start with grading and a drain path before anything pretty goes in. Being ten minutes from the barn also means your designer can come back the next time it storms and watch where the water really goes.
Covers Franklin and the farms just outside town. Call (615) 555-0172 if you are not sure we reach you.
