Where It All Began
“Harpenden Town Council have worked with Jon and the team at Franks Forestry for a number of years.
With a large tree stock to manage and maintain across its many open spaces, it is vital for the Town Council to be able to have a responsive and professional arboricultural company on the doorstep.
Franks Forestry have proven themselves to be a first class company and we have no hesitation in highly recommending them.”
— Carl Cheevers and Julie Rees - Harpenden Town Council
Reliable
“Jon Franks was recommended to us over ten years ago and we have never used anyone else since.
He knows his trees and is able to advise on new planting as well as how to rescue precious trees that have been storm battered.
Unfailingly courteous and pleasant, we can always be confident that everything will be cleared before they leave and that the garden will have been given a new lease of life.”
— Ros Battersby - Harpenden Resident
Flawless Service
“Whenever we are seeking to complete tree work in conjunction with one of our development projects, we automatically turn to Jon and his team.
Franks Forestry’s work is of the highest standard, always sympathetically and efficiently completed.”
— Mike Peters – Managing Director - Jarvis Homes Limited
Good Work Ethic
“Sir John Lawes School was built in the nineteen thirty’s, a time when trees, hedgerows and bushes were seen as pleasant addition to the school site. This legacy unfortunately in modern times, means we have a requirement to maintain our trees, bushes and hedgerows to a level of safety that a modern school environment requires.
It was recommended we try Franks Forestry and after a quick phone call and eleven years later we are still using them.
Very professional and prices that are always very competitive, we hope to be working with Franks Forestry for many years to come.”
— Malcolm Hills – premises manager - Sir John Lawes School, Harpenden
Excellent Service
“We have used Franks Forestry since 2014 to maintain our grounds on an annual basis and to provide ad hoc services from time to time, including obtaining Council approval where applicable.
Jon and his team are always responsive to our requirements, provide an excellent service and carry out their work in an efficient and professional manner whilst always leaving the premises in a clean and tidy state.”
— Wayne Lee - Harpenden Lawn Tennis Club
Excellent Job
“Thank you so much for doing a really excellent job felling our large beech tree. I know it wasn’t easy.
The location was tight, and it needed a lot of hard physical work by your team to ensure there was no damage to the buildings close by. They all worked extremely hard, and did an outstanding and careful job. They are a real credit to you.
They left the site very clean and tidy, and I have absolutely no reservations in recommending your team to others.
Thank you all, for a very difficult job very well done.”
— Mike (and Judy) Bramwell - Harpenden Residents
Professional
“Franks Forestry Contractors have completed numerous tree works for us over many years and we have found them to be a professional outfit who complete the required works on time, to an excellent standard and at competitive prices.
We would recommend Franks Forestry to anyone who needs a quality job.”
— Terry Crump, manager - Harpenden Common Golf Club
