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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

High Quality

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.
