What We Do in Franklin

The services below are available in Franklin and throughout the west and southwest communities covered by our Kingston Springs location.

  • Tree Removal

    Our safe and efficient tree removal services address hazardous trees, unwanted species, and those in decline. We manage removals of all sizes, using advanced techniques to ensure your property remains intact and beautiful.

  • Tree Pruning & Trimming

    Enhance the health, safety, and appearance of your trees with pruning and trimming, following ANSI standards for optimal results. We say no to topping whenever possible.

  • Stump Grinding

    The stump left behind after a removal can be an unsightly and potentially hazardous obstacle. We take care of it, grinding included, so it stays one job with one point of contact.

  • Cabling & Bracing

    Trees with weak branch unions, split trunks, or overextended limbs are at risk of failing. In many cases, cabling and bracing can stabilize a tree enough to avoid removal.

  • Emergency Tree Services

    24/7 rapid response to tree-related emergencies, including storm damage cleanup and the removal of fallen or hazardous trees.

  • Root Invigoration & Fertilization

    Healthy roots are the foundation of a thriving tree. Air-spading and deep root fertilization improve soil structure and nourish roots for stronger, healthier trees.

Good to Know in Franklin

  • Permits: Franklin requires a tree removal permit for a commercial, industrial, or multifamily lot of any size, and for a single-family lot larger than 1 acre. A single-family lot of 1 acre or less does not need one, unless the city has marked it as a critical lot. Submit the form to Building and Neighborhood Services at (615) 794-7012.
  • Brush pickup: Put homeowner brush at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your regular trash day, at least 5 feet from the trash cart, mailbox, and other obstacles. A tree service has to haul what it cuts. If the city picks up a landscape contractor's pile, it can charge $125 a load. The sanitation office is (615) 794-1516.
  • Power lines: The city lists Middle Tennessee Electric at (877) 777-9020. Street-light repairs use a different line, (877) 986-8362.

Common Questions in Franklin

Do I need a permit to take a tree down in Franklin?

On a single-family lot of 1 acre or less, no, unless the city has marked the lot as critical. A larger single-family lot needs a permit, and so does any commercial, industrial, or multifamily lot. Building and Neighborhood Services is (615) 794-7012.

Will Franklin pick up limbs a tree service cut?

No. Brush from a tree service or a landscape contractor has to be hauled by that company. The city can charge $125 a load if it picks up a contractor's pile. Homeowner brush goes out by 7:00 a.m. on trash day. The sanitation office is (615) 794-1516.
