Franklin yards lean toward mature trees that have grown up around the house — oaks, maples, hackberries, the occasional old hickory. That canopy is part of what makes the property feel like home, which makes the trim-or-remove decision harder, not easier. We don't rush it.
A lot of what we see in Franklin is deadwood over the driveway, limbs scraping the roofline, and stumps left by whoever owned the property before. None of those are emergencies, but a walk-through with a real set of eyes usually makes it obvious what needs to happen this season and what can wait.
Yard usability matters here. A removal that leaves a stump and a wood pile isn't finished work. We scope cleanup, grinding, and what happens to the wood up front so there's nothing to argue about when we're done.
