Storm and Emergency

A tree on the ground still has energy.

Fallen trees are under tension, lean on other wood and can roll or snap when cut. We read the stress, make the cuts in the right order and clear the tree safely.

  • Priced by: Tree size, location, access and the amount of cleanup
  • Methods: Careful cutting, rigging, loader or crane

The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A tree that has already fallen can still hurt someone. Trunks are held up by roots and by neighbors, limbs are bent under load, and a wrong cut can swing, roll or pinch a saw. There is a method to it, and it begins with understanding where the tension is.

Nashville Tree Service removes fallen trees across Middle Tennessee from yards, fences, sheds, driveways and roads. We cut in a safe order, relieve tension step by step, move the wood to where it can be hauled or chipped and take care of the stump and root plate.

Cuts are ordered to relieve stress, not release it.

Good questions

Fallen Tree Removal: common questions

What about the root plate?

A tipped root plate can be cut off, removed or, in rare cases, replaced. We explain your choices.

Can a fallen tree be replanted?

Large trees rarely survive. Smaller ones can sometimes be righted and braced, and we can assess that.
