Tree Service in Franklin, TN

Most residential tree removals in Franklin run between $400 and $2,500 depending on tree size, location, and complexity. A small ornamental tree might be $300 to $500. A large mature oak near a house can run $2,000 to $5,000 because of the rigging required. Emergency removals after hours cost more due to crew callout. We provide free written estimates.

For trees on your own residential property, no permit is typically needed in Franklin. However, trees in the public right-of-way (between the sidewalk and street), in historic districts, or under conservation easements may require approval. We check the requirements before any work and pull permits if needed.

For emergency calls (tree on a structure or blocking access), we typically have a crew on site within four hours during business hours and same-day or next morning for overnight emergencies. Non-emergency cleanup after a major storm typically schedules within three to five days because demand spikes.

Late winter (January to March) is best for most species in Middle Tennessee because trees are dormant, disease risk is lowest, and you can see the branch structure clearly. Avoid pruning oaks April through July due to oak wilt risk. We schedule pruning year-round but recommend the dormant window when possible.
