Tree Removal in New Franklin

New Franklin is a small historic town on the Missouri River in Howard County, directly across from Boonville. It sits along the Katy Trail corridor and has a mix of older homes and rural properties. The town is small — under 1,500 people — but it has genuine history as part of the Boon's Lick region. River bottomland trees and mature residential trees both factor into local removal work.

A big tree leaning toward your house after a storm is not something you want to leave until morning. Columbia sits right in the path of strong spring thunderstorms that roll across mid-Missouri, and those storms bring straight-line winds that can crack a mature oak without much warning. The heavy clay soil here also makes trees more likely to topple — roots can't grip wet clay the way they grip sandy or rocky ground, so a tree that looks fine in dry weather can lean or fall after a week of soaking rain.

We start with an on-site look at the tree before we quote anything — no guessing from photos, no flat-rate pricing over the phone. Once we know the size, what's below it, and how tight the space is, we plan the cut so the wood lands where it won't damage your fence, your neighbor's yard, or anything else nearby.
