Tree removal and trimming in Nashville, fully insured

Tree work in Nashville is priced by the tree — its size, what it hangs over, how it has to come down and whether the wood is hauled or left — and a quote given without walking the yard is a number to be suspicious of.

A tree on a house or a road in Nashville is answered the same day, around the clock; a removal or a pruning job is scheduled within a week or two, longer after a regional storm.

Tree crews working Nashville also cover Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville — 65 towns across 12 counties.

Every tree crew we run carries liability insurance written for tree work and workers’ compensation, on file with us, and a certified arborist is on staff or on call for the removal decisions.

No — free, written, and no obligation.

It is priced by height, species, and access rather than by the tree alone. A large tree with clear space to drop it costs a fraction of the same tree leaning over a roof, which has to be dismantled in sections and rigged down. Crane access, power lines nearby, and whether the stump and debris are being removed are the other variables that move the figure most.

When more than about a third of the crown is dead, when there is significant trunk decay or a large cavity, when it leans with soil heaving at the base, or when major roots have been severed by construction. A tree leaning toward the house that has been leaning for twenty years is usually stable; one that has started leaning recently is not.

Late winter, while the tree is dormant and before spring growth — the structure is visible, cuts heal quickly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks in particular should not be pruned in spring and early summer because of oak wilt. Dead, damaged or dangerous limbs are the exception and should come off whenever they are found.

Generally you may trim branches back to the property line at your own cost, but you cannot cross onto their land or take action that kills the tree. If the tree is visibly hazardous, the responsibility question changes and it is worth notifying the owner in writing. This is a legal question as much as an arboricultural one, so check before cutting anything substantial.

Yes, and it is far cheaper than the alternative. Middle Tennessee gets strong straight-line winds and occasional ice, and the trees that come down are usually the ones with visible defects beforehand — dead limbs, co-dominant stems with included bark, root damage from nearby trenching. An inspection identifies which limbs over the roof are the actual risk.
