Tree service for Franklin and Brentwood — Williamson County's big hardwoods and its tree rules
A hundred and thirty thousand people in the two richest towns in Tennessee, under the biggest oaks and maples in the region — and the strictest tree-protection ordinances. Thirty miles west on 96 and 840.
Franklin and Brentwood are the west end of our territory — about 30 miles from Murfreesboro on Highway 96 and 840 — and they are where Middle Tennessee's biggest yard trees stand: white oaks, bur oaks, sugar maples and hackberries a century and more old over the antebellum and Victorian homes of downtown Franklin's historic district, the 1970s–90s estates of Brentwood's large lots along Franklin Road and Concord Road, the 2000s subdivisions of Cool Springs and Westhaven, and the horse farms and acreage between. Both cities protect trees by ordinance — Franklin's tree-preservation rules and Brentwood's are among the strictest in the state — and both mean it.
We cover Franklin and Brentwood on scheduled runs with the crews that work Nolensville: heritage tree care to ANSI A300 by an ISA-certified arborist, cabling and bracing for the big limbs over houses, crane removals on the historic district's tight lots and Brentwood's long driveways, dead-ash and hackberry removals with the permit and arborist report the cities require, structural pruning of Westhaven's young trees, stump grinding, and storm cleanup. We check each city's rules before we quote and prepare what's required. Free estimates, and a firm date because it's the end of the route.

Questions from Franklin & Brentwood homeowners
Do Franklin and Brentwood require a permit to remove a tree?
For larger trees, often yes — both cities have tree-protection ordinances and usually want an arborist's report with the application. We prepare both; dead and hazardous trees are approved quickly with photos.
Are Franklin and Brentwood really in your service area?
They're the west end of it, about 30 miles on 96 and 840. Our Nolensville crews reach them, we group Williamson County jobs, and we give you a firm date and keep it.
My 150-year-old white oak is over the house — who should touch it?
An ISA-certified arborist, pruning to ANSI A300 — light reductions, deadwood, clearance from the roof, never topping. We cable the big limbs over the house.
Does the historic district review tree removal?
Franklin's historic zoning is about the buildings; the tree-preservation ordinance covers the trees. We check which applies before we quote.
How fast after a storm?
Trees on houses first, usually within a day of the roads opening. Franklin is at the end of the route, so we say so honestly and keep the date we give.
