A maple tree in a Green Hills, TN, yard was ablaze with beautiful color in the fall, but the bright foliage hid a big problem: the tree’s massive canopy leaned uncomfortably close to the house roofline and brushed the neighbor’s fence line. It was time to bring it down to prevent damage during a storm, so the homeowner called Franklin Tree Service for tree removal to eliminate the threat while preserving the surrounding property.
When a Mature Maple Becomes Puts a Home at Risk
- Client Profile: Residential
- Location: Green Hills, Tennessee
- Type of Service: Tree removal
- Tree Type: Maple
- Job Duration: Five hours
- Season: Autumn
- Client Preferences: In the fall, clients wanted to remove a large mature hardwood tree from their front yard because it was too large and close to their home and the surrounding landscape. Franklin Tree Service used a spider lift and specialized equipment to dismantle the tree in controlled sections while protecting the lawn and nearby structures. The team worked methodically to lower limbs and processed the debris, keeping the property safe and undamaged throughout the tree removal process.
A Strategic Approach to Hazardous Tree Removal
The Franklin Tree Service crew arrived with equipment designed for working in this kind of squeeze. Because traditional cutting methods were too dangerous for this work, the crew decided to use a spider lift and specialized rigging equipment to safely dismantle the tree.
The tree removal required cutting the limbs and trunk into controlled sections, working down from the upper canopy. The team rigged each cut, lowered heavy pieces on ropes, and fed the brush straight into the chipper.
Because preserving the surrounding landscape was a priority for the homeowner, the crew took precautions to minimize disruption to the lawn and nearby plantings. Although the primary focus was tree removal, the service also included elements of tree trimming and storm damage cleanup, particularly in the careful handling of limbs and debris. If they choose, the homeowners can request additional services, such as stump grinding, to complete the job at a future date.
Safe, Efficient Tree Removal Backed by Experience
The team left the yard free of risks and looking clean within five hours. However, Franklin Tree Service does more than tree removal. The same crew handles tree maintenance, trimming for shaping, stump grinding, and emergency tree service during storms.
