Tree Removal, Trimming and Stump Work in Franklin
Around the square and the older streets off Main, there is rarely room to drop a tree in one piece. We take it down in sections, lowering limbs on ropes so the house, the fence, and the neighbor’s yard come through untouched. Near the Harpeth, where the ground stays soft, we plan equipment access so we don’t rut your lawn. Every removal starts with a free estimate.
Older oaks and maples need real pruning, not topping. Our ISA-certified crew thins the crown, clears deadwood, and lifts limbs off the roof and lines with cuts that let the tree seal over. In newer neighborhoods like Cool Springs and Fieldstone Farms, early structural pruning on young trees saves you bigger bills later.
Hard spring storms and a swollen Harpeth bring trees down across Williamson County most years. If a tree lands on your home, your car, or across the road, call (615) 260-5303. We handle the dangerous situations first and document the damage for your insurance.
Old stumps get in the way of mowing, draw carpenter ants and termites, and drag down curb appeal. We grind them below grade, then haul the chips off or leave them as mulch, your choice. One stump or twenty from a clearing job.

Old Oaks Downtown,
Young Trees Out in Westhaven
Tree work in Franklin changes a lot from one side of town to the other. The historic district around Main Street and the streets near Carnton and the Carter House hold some of the oldest trees in Williamson County, and they need patient pruning to stay sound.
Out toward Mack Hatcher Parkway, Westhaven, and Berry Farms it is a different job: trees stressed by construction, young plantings that need shaping, and lots graded hard during building. Near the Harpeth River, wet ground and flooding loosen roots, so a tree that leans after a big rain deserves a closer look before it becomes a tree removal job.
We size each tree up honestly before recommending anything, because the right call often saves the tree and saves you money. We also work Fieldstone Farms, Sullivan Farms, and properties out toward Leiper’s Fork. Troy Zanko’s family-owned crew is ISA-certified, fully insured, and has worked Middle Tennessee since 1989. Call for a free estimate and we’ll walk the property with you.
