Even with experience and training, some hazardous tree removal jobs aren’t possible without specialized equipment. That was the case when a local homeowner in Belle Meade, TN, called Franklin Tree Service to remove a large, aging tree from their yard that threatened nearby structures.
The tree’s size and location left little room to work, which made a standard removal unsafe and required a more controlled approach.

The Difficulties of Removing Large Trees Located Near Structures
Tree removal becomes more complicated when a large tree grows close to homes, fencing, vehicles, or other trees. In tight spaces like these, crews can’t rely on letting sections fall freely. Many hazardous tree removal jobs require a specialized crane system to lift heavy sections away in a controlled manner, particularly during emergency tree service situations.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Tennessee has roughly 8 billion trees spread across about 41,200 square miles. With so many trees packed into residential areas, removal work often takes place near structures and established landscaping. Limited space, heavy sections, and restricted drop zones make precision and control necessary. In these cases, proper trimming and long-term tree maintenance help reduce risk before removals become urgent.
How Franklin Tree Service Safely Removed a Large Tree Threatening a Belle Meade, TN, Property
Franklin Tree Service began by evaluating the tree’s size, condition, and distance from the nearby home and fencing. The crew planned the tree removal sequence before cutting, focusing on sections that required crane support to avoid shifting toward the structure.
Next, the team used a specialized crane to lift sections of the tree straight up and away from the property instead of letting them fall. Before leaving, the crew cleared debris and discussed follow-up services such as stump grinding and ongoing tree trimming.
