Our Story

Celebrated Hero Behind it All

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.

Lambert's legacy lives on through his children and soon his grandchildren.

Carrying on the legacy

Bucky Lambert's son, Talley C. Lambert Jr., also known as Bubba accompanied his father on jobsites at a very young age. Bubba spent summers and school breaks working and earned his father and his uncle's trust in the company and worked full time after graduating. Under his father and uncle's leadership, Bubba was able to take on more responsibilities. At 18 years of age, 2002 - 2006, Bubba was working as an equipment operator. From 2006 - 2011 he was Superintendent. Soon thereafter, 2011 - 2019 he became VP at Lambert Inc. In 2015, Southern Concrete Products was established and Bubba became a co-owner and VP at Southern Concrete Products.

In January of 2019, Bubba ventured on his own and established Talley Lambert Construction LLC. He has since then been at the helm of the company continuing the success and the legacy set forth by his own father.


The Lambert family legacy in the construction and real estate development industry is an epic American story of courage, hard work, strong relationships and financial prudence. Bubba prides himself on his family and his incredible team.
