Where Green Scene works, and whose rules apply there

Nine towns in two counties, one office at 431 Mealer Street in Franklin. The work doesn't change much from one to the next. The water provider and the permit office do.

Green Scene's crews cover all of Williamson County, including Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Thompson's Station and Spring Hill, and the south side of Davidson County: Green Hills, Belle Meade, Forest Hills and Nashville. Irrigation, hardscapes and lawn care are offered everywhere on that list.

What differs is the paperwork around them. A sprinkler system's backflow device answers to whoever sells the water, and a patio that needs a tree taken down answers to the city it's in. Here is the one thing to know first in each town with a page of its own:

TownCountyKnow this first
FranklinWilliamsonThe city tests backflow devices yearly and bills the fee with water; tree protection sits in Zoning Ordinance ch. 17.2
BrentwoodWilliamson$57.00 a year for each irrigation backflow device
NolensvilleWilliamsonWater from Nolensville College Grove Utility District; permits from the town, or the county outside town limits
Spring HillWilliamson and MauryA new backflow assembly is tested within 30 days, then every year
Green HillsDavidsonMetro requires a backflow preventer, installed by a licensed plumber and inspected yearly
Belle MeadeDavidsonA city permit before taking down any tree wider than 4 inches
Forest HillsDavidsonA city permit for most tree removals
NashvilleDavidsonMetro Water asks automatic sprinklers to run three nights a week, by house number

None of it needs to land on the homeowner. Permits go through our office before a crew is scheduled, and Jose writes the estimate after walking the property, wherever it is.

Questions about where we work

Does Green Scene work in Thompson’s Station?

Yes. Thompson's Station is one of the Williamson County towns the crews cover from the Franklin office, along with Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville and Spring Hill. Call (615) 585-0280 or send the estimate form, and someone will come out, walk the yard with you and leave a free written estimate.

Why do sprinkler backflow rules change from one town to the next around Franklin?

Because each water provider sets its own. Brentwood charges $57 a year per device, Spring Hill wants a test within 30 days of installation and yearly after, Franklin tests devices annually and bills the fee with water, and Metro Nashville requires installation by a licensed plumber plus yearly inspections.

Which towns near Franklin require a permit to take down a tree?

Belle Meade requires one for any tree over 4 inches in diameter under Ordinance 2019-11, and Forest Hills requires one for most removals. Franklin covers tree protection in chapter 17.2 of its zoning ordinance. Check before a patio or other project depends on a tree coming down.

Does Green Scene handle permits for jobs outside Franklin?

Yes. The office works with permit offices across Middle Tennessee, including Brentwood's Codes Section, which takes applications electronically, Spring Hill's Building Codes and Inspection Department, and the Town of Nolensville or Williamson County Codes, depending on the address. Permits are settled before the crew is scheduled.
