Low limbs hanging over a public sidewalk or street can put a homeowner on the wrong side of a right-of-way clearance ordinance, even without meaning to.
These rules exist for practical reasons: pedestrians need headroom on sidewalks, and delivery trucks and emergency vehicles need clearance on the street. A branch that has slowly drooped for years is often the one that ends up getting a code notice.
Addressing overhang before a notice arrives is far less stressful than reacting to one. A quick assessment of limbs near a sidewalk or street frontage can settle whether it's worth trimming now.
If you have trees near your sidewalk or street in Franklin or the surrounding area that have been drooping lower each year, an estimate can clarify what's needed.
