Tree Service in Franklin, TN
The mature hardwoods of Franklin, looked after properly.

A town that grew up under its trees
Franklin’s older streets run beneath sugar maples and white oaks, and the neighborhoods that came later — Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, McKay’s Mill — were built around hackberries, silver maples, and ash that had decades of head start. A canopy like that is most of why the town looks the way it does. It is also a working responsibility: hackberries shed limbs in wind, silver maples split at their unions, and the ash trees have been quietly dying of emerald ash borer for years. For the hackberries in particular, there is a page on when a Franklin hackberry should come down and when it should simply be pruned. Dying ash have a page of their own as well, on ash tree removal in Franklin once the borer has finished with a tree.
That is the work, in four forms: tree removal, pruning and trimming, storm and ice response, and stump grinding. The tree’s measure is taken first, what it needs and why is explained, and every part of the price goes on paper where you can question it. There is more about how this works on the about page.
Four kinds of tree work
Tree Removal
The borer-killed ash, the split silver maple, the oak that outlived its spot. Planned first, worked from the top, and gone by evening — debris included. Typical Franklin jobs run about $850.
Inside a Franklin removalPruning & Trimming
Weight eased where limbs reach too far, dead wood cleared before it drops on its own, roofs and driveways given back their daylight. Cut at the collar so the tree can seal — and never sheared flat.
The pruning approachStorm & Ice Response
Middle Tennessee breaks trees twice a year: spring wind and winter ice. When it happens, stand well back from hanging wood and fallen wires, then telephone or send the request form.
Emergency storm serviceStump Removal
The grinder takes the leftover stump below lawn level, pass by pass, and the ground can go back to grass, garden, or whatever comes next.
Stump grinding detailsWhat should tree work cost in Franklin?
About $850 for a typical removal — that is the center of the local market. Large hardwoods run $850–$2,000; past eighty feet, $1,200–$2,500 and up; storm-emergency work bills at two to three times the standard rate. A figure far outside those lines deserves questions, whoever gives it to you. Estimates arranged here arrive itemized from a free visit, and the pricing guide explains what moves a given tree up or down inside the ranges. How a tree in those top bands is lowered piece by piece over a roof is set out on the page about taking down Franklin’s largest hardwoods.
For a tree that is already down, telephone or use the request form.
A trunk on the roof or a limb pinning the driveway is best left untouched, with the household kept at a distance and fallen wires avoided, until the independent tree company has looked it over.

Questions we answer most
- What does tree work cost in Franklin?
- Expect about $850 for a typical removal. Large hardwoods run $850 to $2,000, trees over eighty feet run $1,200 to $2,500 and up, and emergency storm work bills at two to three times the standard rate. Every estimate is free and itemized.
- How do you decide between pruning and removal?
- By what the tree can still do safely. A healthy tree with a few bad limbs is a pruning job, and the estimate prices it as one. A tree that is dead, hollow at the base, or failing at a main union is past the point where trimming helps, and the estimate explains exactly why before recommending removal.
- Do you handle storm and ice damage?
- Yes, year-round. Spring wind and winter ice are the two seasons that break trees in Middle Tennessee. A tree resting on a roof or pinning a driveway shut is the urgent case; leave it untouched, keep away from any fallen wire, and telephone or use the request form.
- Which areas do you serve?
- Franklin, plus Brentwood, Thompson’s Station, Spring Hill, and Leiper’s Fork. Requests from elsewhere in Williamson County are considered case by case.
- When is the best time of year for tree work?
- Removals happen year-round. For pruning, the dormant months of late fall and winter are ideal for most species — with the leaves down, what needs cutting is easy to see, and a dormant tree barely notices the work. A dead or dangerous tree is an any-month job.
