Build around the trees, not through them.
Digging, grading and heavy machinery are the top killers of mature trees. We help builders and owners protect roots, plan around trees and preserve the ones that matter.

- Services: Tagging, fencing, root pruning, mulching and care
What it is, and why it matters.
Trees that survive construction are valuable. They add shade, privacy and thousands of dollars to a property. But most of the damage is invisible until two or three years later: roots cut by trenching, soil compacted by equipment, bark scraped by a loader.
Nashville Tree Service works with builders, remodelers and owners across Middle Tennessee before and during construction. We tag trees to keep, set protection fencing, prune roots cleanly where digging is unavoidable and care for the trees after the work is done.
Four things done right.
Fewer surprise losses
Plans prevent the hidden damage that kills trees later.
Better lots
Mature trees raise property value.
Clean root cuts
Roots are cut properly when they must be.
Coordinated with trades
We work with excavators and builders.

27Construction Site Tree Protection: common questions
How far from the trunk should I dig?
A rule of thumb is about a foot of distance per inch of trunk diameter. We can help you plan.
Can a tree survive losing roots?
Some can, if it loses a limited amount and gets good care.

Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and a rough height usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
