For some trees, routine maintenance requires specialized attention from qualified professionals. Recently, a homeowner in Brentwood, TN, needed tree trimming and pruning for a tall, mature tree in front of their home, but the project presented several challenges. This case study shows how the team at Franklin Tree Service was able to meet those challenges head-on.

Project Overview: Brentwood, TN, Tree Trimming and Pruning

• Client Profile: Residential
• Location: Brentwood, TN
• Type of Service: Tree trimming and pruning
• Tree Type: Maple
• Job Duration: Five hours
• Season: Winter
• Client Preferences: The client in this project requested assistance with a large, mature deciduous tree located along the front of their property that required careful tree pruning and limb removal. Since the tree was close to the street, power lines, and a historic brick home, the Franklin Tree Service crew used a tracked spider lift to access the upper canopy and remove branches safely and with precision. Working during the late winter season while the tree was dormant, the team carefully trimmed sections of the tree and lowered debris to the ground to prevent any damage to the surrounding property or nearby utilities. 

The Challenge: A Looming Mature Tree Close to Nearby Structures

A large maple tree had grown too close to the nearby street and power lines. The tree’s height was also problematic for the homeowner’s historic house. Without careful structural pruning to control its limbs, the tree or its branches could fall onto the road, the utility lines, or the home, causing major damage and inconvenience.

The Solution: Professional Tree Care Using a Well-Planned Approach

Franklin Tree Service handled this client’s tree trimming and pruning needs. Since it was winter, the tree was dormant, allowing the experts to see the tree’s structure clearly without leaves obstructing their view. 

Due to the nature of the project, the crew used a tracked spider lift for controlled crown thinning. As they trimmed branches, they lowered the cut wood to the ground. Taking this approach helped prevent damage to the utility lines and surrounding property.
