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.
Let’s be honest. The cheapest option isn’t going to be the best one. Everyone knows that. It’s common sense. We can all be lured in by low prices. But that’s a terrible idea if you’re planning a construction project. Imagine you’re a business owner. You’ve spent years—maybe your whole life—dreaming of the business you want to run and getting to do the job you love. You’ve thought about the clients you want to serve and the community you want to impact. And now it’s time to design and build the place where you’ll do business. Do you really want to go with the lowest bidder?
