Tree Care Experts Who Know Franklin

Franklin offers a unique mix of dense suburban development and natural areas, including Whitnall Park's 600+ acres and the remarkable Mangan Woods—an old-growth beech-maple forest remnant. The Root River corridor adds riparian tree management to the mix, making Franklin tree care more varied than typical suburban work.

Local Tree Concerns We Handle

Whitnall Park Edge Properties: Homes bordering Whitnall Park often have trees that bridge public and private land. We coordinate with Milwaukee County when necessary and handle complex property-line situations.

Mangan Woods Buffer: Properties near this old-growth remnant feature mature beech and maple that require careful management. We understand the ecological value of these connections to the preserved forest.

Root River Flooding: The Root River corridor through Franklin experiences periodic flooding. We assess and remove flood-damaged trees and can identify trees at risk before the next event.

New Development Challenges: Franklin's growth means many new homes were built around preserved trees that are now stressed by grade changes or root damage. We assess these trees and provide realistic expectations about their long-term viability.
