The class of graphs of free groups with cyclic edge groups constitutes an important source of examples in geometric group theory, particularly of hyperbolic groups. A recent result of Wilton shows that any such group which is one-ended and hyperbolic contains a surface subgroup, answering a question attributed to Gromov. This thesis is devoted to the study of these groups when they arise as fundamental groups of certain nonpositively curved square complexes. The square complexes in question, called tubular graphs of graphs, are obtained by attaching tubes (a tube is a Cartesian product of a circle with the unit interval) to a finite collection of finite graphs. The main goal of this thesis is to construct two fundamental decompositions, the...
