The mature hardwoods of Franklin, looked after properly.
Harlinsdale Tree Co removes, prunes, and cleans up after the big trees of Franklin, Tennessee. Free itemized estimates, unhurried crews, and nothing left behind but the trees worth keeping.
A town that grew up under its trees
Franklin’s older streets run beneath sugar maples and white oaks, and the neighborhoods that came later — Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, McKay’s Mill — were built around hackberries, silver maples, and ash that had decades of head start. A canopy like that is most of why the town looks the way it does. It is also a working responsibility: hackberries shed limbs in wind, silver maples split at their unions, and the ash trees have been quietly dying of emerald ash borer for years.
That is the work we do, in four forms: tree removal, pruning and trimming, storm and ice response, and stump grinding. We take the tree’s measure first, explain what it needs and why, and put every part of the price on paper where you can question it. There is more about how we operate on the about page.
The four things we do
Tree Removal
The borer-killed ash, the split silver maple, the oak that outlived its spot. Planned first, worked from the top, and gone by evening — debris included. Typical Franklin jobs run about $850.
Inside a Franklin removalPruning & Trimming
Weight eased where limbs reach too far, dead wood cleared before it drops on its own, roofs and driveways given back their daylight. Cut at the collar so the tree can seal — and never sheared flat.
Our pruning approachStorm & Ice Response
Middle Tennessee breaks trees twice a year: spring wind and winter ice. When it happens, the phone reaches a person at any hour, and the worst damage is worked first.
Emergency storm serviceStump Removal
The grinder takes the leftover stump below lawn level, pass by pass, and the ground can go back to grass, garden, or whatever comes next.
Stump grinding detailsWhat should tree work cost in Franklin?
About $850 for a typical removal — that is the center of the local market. Large hardwoods run $850–$2,000; past eighty feet, $1,200–$2,500 and up; storm-emergency work bills at two to three times the standard rate. A figure far outside those lines deserves questions, whoever gives it to you. Ours arrive itemized from a free visit, and the pricing guide explains what moves a given tree up or down inside the ranges.

A trunk on the roof or a limb pinning the driveway gets a person on the line at any hour — and the first crew we can free.

Questions we answer most
- What does tree work cost in Franklin?
- Expect about $850 for a typical removal. Large hardwoods run $850 to $2,000, trees over eighty feet run $1,200 to $2,500 and up, and emergency storm work bills at two to three times the standard rate. Every estimate is free and itemized.
- How do you decide between pruning and removal?
- By what the tree can still do safely. A healthy tree with a few bad limbs is a pruning job, and the estimate prices it as one. A tree that is dead, hollow at the base, or failing at a main union is past the point where trimming helps, and we explain exactly why before recommending removal.
- Do you handle storm and ice damage?
- Yes, year-round. Spring wind and winter ice are the two seasons that break trees in Middle Tennessee. A tree resting on a roof or pinning a driveway shut gets the first available crew, and the phone reaches a person at any hour when weather comes through.
- Which areas do you serve?
- Franklin is where we are based and where most of the week happens. We also work in Brentwood, Thompson’s Station, and Leiper’s Fork, and take jobs elsewhere in Williamson County when the calendar allows.
- When is the best time of year for tree work?
- Removals happen year-round. For pruning, the dormant months of late fall and winter are ideal for most species — with the leaves down, what needs cutting is easy to see, and a dormant tree barely notices the work. A dead or dangerous tree is an any-month job.
