TLC was born out of Lambert Inc., a success story that continue to thrive to this day! In 1976, Bucky Lambert, a Vietnam veteran and father to Talley Lambert Jr., was given was given a backhoe instead of back pay from a contractor who moved out of state. He took the backhoe and started picking up small scale projects.

Within a couple years, he had picked up work with a major railroad company doing work on rail lines and his brother Rickey had started working with him, as well as their father Johnny.

In 1985, Lambert Inc. got its first big break doing wetlands work for TVA. It was here that we first started pipeline work. Lambert, Inc was then incorporated in 1988. By 1995, business had grown and we began working with a local industry doing storm drain, water and sewer lines, and excavation. This gave us the momentum to grow and by the year 2000 we had started bidding for local utility jobs for many different municipalities.
