Franklin Tree Specialists provides professional tree removal in Herkimer, NY and nearby Mohawk Valley towns. Whether the tree is hazardous, storm-damaged, decayed, leaning toward a home, crowding utilities, or simply in the way of new plans, our fully insured local crew removes it safely with modern rigging, cranes when appropriate, and low-impact methods that protect your lawn and hardscapes. We begin with a free onsite assessment to evaluate structure, lean, access, utilities, and risk. On the job, we use turf protection mats and controlled lowering to prevent damage, then tailor debris handling—from chipping on site to full haul-away—so your property is neat when we leave. Need the stump handled afterward? We can coordinate timing with our Stump Grinding & Removal service so your project keeps moving.

FAQ'S

Our team takes every precaution to prevent property damage. We use specialized equipment and strategic cutting techniques to ensure safe removal. If necessary, we implement protective measures to safeguard nearby structures and landscaping.

Stump removal is not included in standard tree removal but can be added as an additional service. We offer stump grinding to remove stumps below ground level, preventing tripping hazards and allowing for future landscaping.

We offer different disposal options. Debris can be cut into firewood, chipped for mulch, or completely hauled away. Let us know your preference, and we will handle the cleanup to leave your property neat and clear.

Trees should be removed if they are dead, diseased, structurally unstable, or causing damage to property. Signs include leaning, large dead branches, cracks in the trunk, or root damage. If you're unsure, we offer inspections to assess tree health.

Permit requirements vary by location and property type. Some municipalities require permits for tree removal, especially for protected species or large trees. We can help determine if a permit is needed with our FREE Onsite Inspection.

The cost depends on the tree’s size, location, condition, and complexity of removal. Additional factors include proximity to structures, utility lines, and stump removal. We provide free on-site estimates for accurate pricing.
