Mulch ‘N More


Owner: Eddy Queen
Location: 5907 Burnt Knob Road, Murfreesboro, TN
Project Scope: New office space and maintenance facility
Queen’s Tree Surgery has been serving Middle Tennessee for nearly 80 years. The company, which was started by Wayne Queen in 1942, is very much a family business. The Queen family purchased 100 acres on Burnt Knob Road and selected the Dow Smith Company team to construct their new Mulch ‘N More facility.
The 11,590-square-foot pre-engineered metal buildings provide Queen’s with a new office space and warehouse building. The Mulch ‘N More project was not without its share of challenges—the site proved difficult for electrical, water, and plumbing utilities, including the unique fire sprinkling system required. Despite these obstacles, the Dow Smith Company team, in partnership with Kevin Goins Architecture, was able to provide Queen’s Tree Surgery with a facility that will serve them for years to come.
When you’re starting a big construction project for your business, it’s tempting to pick the contractor who gives you the lowest price. It seems like a smart way to save money. But, like many things in life, the cheapest choice isn’t always the best one. Think about it: if you needed surgery, would you pick the cheapest doctor?
