I highly recommend Fransen's Tree Service. Today the crew removed 2 very large trees for me, both of which were in rather tight spaces and which had been damaged and were capable of causing damage to other trees, buildings, or even pets or humans. The crew members were very skilled, efficient and professional. In addition, they arrived on a day when I also had a landscape crew coming to plant an additional 8 trees. There were trucks, trailers, machines, skid loaders, chainsaws, wheel barrows, shovels and people, literally, everywhere. Both teams worked around each other with consideration. All work was accomplished in a safe and professional manner. I must add Kudos and special admiration for a crew member, Josh's daughter, who works on a team in a job that is done, usually, only by men. From this wrinkled up old chainsaw grandma, WooHoo! I highly recommend Fransen's Tree Service.

Fransen’s Tree Service had the necessary equipment to remove a huge tree and cleaned up the work site before they left. Rates are reasonable as well. We will definitely contact them when we need more work done.

We highly recommend Josh Fransen and Fransen’s Tree Service; they cut down seven trees for us, all over 70 feet high with a couple over our garage. They took speacial care not dropping anything on the roof, with team work and carefully rigging to lower limbs down to prevent any damage. They cleaned up nicely and pilled the brush and logs for burning. They weathered some cold days; Thank you for a job well done!

Josh and his team are experts at efficiency and they leave a place looking better then when they arrived. We would absolutely have them take out another tree without hesitation.

Fransen’s Tree Service is my “go to” organization for all tree-related projects. Why? Because they’re the best. I appreciate their quick response whether I call with an emergency situation or just a trimming job. Reliable, consistent, professional. Josh provides friendly and thorough communication before, during, and after a project. This winter I am also using their snow removal service for my driveway, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Josh and his team are extremely professional and courteous. I contacted him late on a Friday; he came out to view the work needed on Saturday morning; I had an estimate by Sunday and the work was completed on Monday! They did a great job at a great price. Their communication about what was going to be done matched exactly with what was completed and they did it timely and safely while removing all the stress of the situation. What's more is their work ended up including removal of an additional tree we hadn't even discussed since it came down in the winds on Saturday night. Great job!

Josh and his crew skillfully maneuvered their crane into place through our other trees and carefully got the downed tree lifted, cut and laid down without any damage to the garage, fence or other trees. They did an awesome job! I will be getting them back out again for some huge pines that need to be brought down without damaging surrounding live oaks because I know they will be able to do it with care and precision.

His crew went above and beyond and were all excellent in their jobs. The crane operator from Merit Crane Rental was awesome working in very limited space. Cannot recommend them enough all the crew were polite and hard working. Quote for the job beat prices from 4 local competitors.

Fransen Tree Svc cut down 4 trees from my backyard. The trees were in a tight cluster less than 2 feet from the corner of my sunroom. He used a cherry-picker to remove the higher branches. Then, while forced to stand between 2 fences with little room to move, Josh used surgical-like precision to remove the limbs hanging over the roof. This was a very complicated job and he executed it perfectly. Not a single branch, even the tiny ones, even brushed the roof or house. He and his crew cleaned not only my yard but my neighbor's too as some twigs and leaves fell in their yard. The only sign that they were even here is the missing trees. My neighbor hired him at the same time to trim a large bush growing around overhead wires. Those are the only pictures I got. I wish I had taken more pictures but I didn't want to get in his way. His workers were fast and thorough. The price was very reasonable as well. I can't say enough good things about Fransen Tree Svc.
