Who We Are

Franks Forestry comprises a team of qualified arborists specialising in the care of individual trees, and we are well equipped for the work.

Trees that are properly maintained and cared for can offer substantial advantages to you and your property. Attractive, well managed trees can help to add value to your property, while neglected trees can prove to be a liability.

Carrying out proper tree maintenance, such as pruning or removing trees, in particular large trees, is skilled and potentially dangerous work and therefore should only be carried out by well equipped and qualified arborists such as Franks Forestry Contractors.

“Maintaining proper tree care is a decision that should not be taken lightly. ”
Jon Franks (Director, Franks Forestry)

  • Franks Forestry are the only tree surgeons that I recommend to my garden design customers and always do an outstanding job. Their tree work is carefully and professionally done in a way that retains the shape and character of trees while sensitively reducing overall height or bulk. They also provide excellent guidance on tree conservation matters. Trees are beautiful living structures in our gardens and employing a high quality tree surgeon is essential.
