Bobby Franz keeps Franz Nursery attuned to landscaping trends and ready for the future.
O
ne project quickly comes to mind when Bobby Franz is asked which best repre- sents the capability of his company, Franz
Nursery in Hamilton, Indiana. "That would be Koenig on Hamilton Lake," says
Franz. "Like many of the projects we do, it's a sec- ond home. It had an old retaining wall on the lake side of the property that was failing and the remain- ing hardscaping was dilapidated." The property owners were at loss for what to do.
