Franks Forestry Contractors
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. Franks Forestry Contractors realise that qualifications do not dictate levels of workmanship.
Services
We are professional arborists, specialists in pruning, felling, tree applications, planting and stump removal. We are also fully qualified and insured, and approved contractors for Harpenden Town Council and St Albans District. Crown Thinning and Reductions may be necessary at some point in a tree's life to encourage its healthy growth.
When you use Franks Forestry you are getting the best, in regards to a passion for ensuring our clients properties and trees are kept in excellent condition. This is supported by our meeting, and often surpassing, stringent accreditation guidelines from leading arboricuture associations in the UK and worldwide.
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.

Big thanks to Franks Forestry for helping to cut back some trees within our communal car park. Super quick to respond to enquiry and questions. Super efficient with getting applications in for approval. Did a great job and left the place looking like it was when they arrived.

Franks Forestry were recommended to us by our gardener and we were not disappointed. They reduced a run of overgrown conifers for us and got them back into a manageable state. All cuttings were removed and all was left tidy. We will have other work necessary to reduce several large trees near our property and I will be happy for Franks to do this.

Jon and his team were great. Very responsive with a quick turn around, and left our garden neat and tidy after a tree removal and stump grind.

The team did a great job on some very large sycamores plus hedges and smaller hawthorn and yew trees. All looks fabulous now and I appreciated the advice on where best to reduce to and why. Thank you!

We have been using Franks Forestry for years. The service is excellent: from the efficiency in which Jon deals promptly with requests; to liaising with St Albans Council on conservation / tree preservation issues; to the manner in which the team proceed on time and clean up afterwards. Highly recommended! (Harpenden)

I can totally recommend Jon & the team at Franks Forestry. This is the third time I have used them in the last 11 years, the quality of the work is great, I always feel confident in the safety measures taken. Jon always gets back to you promptly and delivers exactly what you want, as well giving good guidance and advice on the trees. They have just crowned and lifted a substantial Cedar tree, as well as working on five other trees and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks Franks Forestry another excellent job!

We needed a tree removed and some others cut back ready for our garden to be redone. Jon came to give a quote within a few days and we were booked in within a couple of weeks. Guys arrived on time, extremely polite and left the garden very tidy! Very happy with Franks Forestry and would use again in the future.
