Safe Tree Removal Services for Nashville Homes and Businesses
Tree removal is what we do. Whatever the tree – hazardous, dead, huge, or already on the ground – it comes down under control, with a written price up front, a safety-first approach, and a full cleanup before we leave.
Hazardous Tree Removal
Leaning trees, split trunks, decay and trees tangled near power lines are taken down piece by piece, with every section rigged and lowered. Structural concerns get assessed before the first cut, not after.
- Leaning, cracked or decayed trees
- Trees near power lines and roofs
- Rigged and lowered in sections
Large Tree Removal
Big oaks, maples and poplars that have outgrown the yard. Large tree removal in tight Nashville lots means climbing, sectioning and lowering over houses, fences and gardens – slower than felling, and the reason nothing below gets hit.
- Mature trees in tight backyards
- Sectioned over houses and fences
- Wood hauled or cut to length
Dead Tree Removal
Dead trees get more brittle every season – deadwood and falling limbs are how most property damage starts. We take dead and dying trees down before the next storm does it for you.
- Dead and dying trees
- Brittle deadwood and hanging limbs
- Removed before storm season
Emergency & Fallen Tree Removal
24/7 emergency tree removal for trees on roofs, cars, fences and driveways. We make it safe, take the weight off the structure, and finish with full storm damage cleanup.
- Available 24/7 for emergencies
- Fallen trees off roofs and cars
- Storm cleanup and debris hauled
Lot Clearing & Unwanted Tree Removal
Unwanted trees, brush and undergrowth cleared so the ground is usable again. Land clearing and underbrushing ahead of construction, a fence line, a pool or a new yard.
- Unwanted trees and overgrowth
- Lot clearing before construction
- Underbrushing and brush haul-off
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
The last step of a full tree removal. Stump grinding takes the stump below grade so you can mow, plant or build over it; grindings stay for mulching or get hauled for new landscaping.
- Ground below grade
- Grindings left as mulch or hauled
- Ready for seed, sod or landscaping
We Also Handle Tree Trimming & Pruning
Not every tree needs to come down, and good tree care often means keeping one. Tree trimming and tree pruning – crown thinning, canopy raising, deadwood removal and weight reduction – keep healthy trees clear of roofs, driveways and power lines, and make them far less likely to fail in a storm.
- Crown thinning & canopy raising
- Deadwood removal
- Weight reduction over roofs
- Clearance from lines & drives
Is It a Hazardous Tree? Warning Signs to Watch For
Middle Tennessee storms find weak trees fast. These are the signs that a tree near your home needs a closer look – sometimes a trim fixes it, sometimes tree removal is the safer call. We will tell you which, and why.
Dead or falling limbs
Deadwood that has dropped once will drop again. Large dead limbs over a roof, driveway or play area are the most common reason a trim turns urgent.
Tree decay and cavities
Mushrooms at the base, soft or crumbling wood, and tree cavities in the trunk mean decay is working from the inside – often further than it looks.
Leaning or lifting roots
A new lean, cracked soil or roots lifting on one side after heavy rain is a hazardous tree that needs looking at before the next storm.
Cracks and split trunks
Deep cracks, split unions and old storm wounds are structural concerns. Some can be managed with pruning; some mean the tree should come down.

Emergency Tree Removal & Storm Damage Cleanup
When a storm drops a tree on your roof, car or driveway, you need emergency tree service now – not a callback next week. We make the situation safe first, take the weight off the structure, then handle the storm cleanup: limbs cut up, debris hauled, and the yard put back.

Tree Removal Handled Safely in Nashville
Smith's Tree Removal Nashville handles residential and commercial tree removal across Nashville, Davidson County and the surrounding Middle Tennessee communities. Removing a tree next to a house is high-consequence work – what matters is the process: assess the hazard, keep every section under control on the way down, protect what is around it, and leave the property clean.
A safety-first approach
Access, what is underneath, nearby structures and utility lines are assessed before the first cut. On a tight Nashville lot that plan is the difference between a clean job and an expensive one.
Rigged and lowered, not dropped
When there is a roof, fence or garden bed below, sections come down on ropes under control rather than in free fall.
Transparent prices, in writing
You get the number in writing before work is scheduled, broken out by what is driving it – size, access, hazards, stump grinding and cleanup.
The yard gets put back
Tree debris removal, wood waste disposal, raking and blowing off hard surfaces, then a walkthrough with you before the trucks leave.
Tree Removal Cost in Nashville
Most single-tree removals in the Nashville area land somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. Size, access, the tree's condition and what sits underneath it make the difference. Use the estimator for a ballpark, then get a free written quote with transparent prices – no surprises on the invoice.
Affordable tree services start with scoping the job correctly. Grouping work – several trees, or a removal plus stump grinding – usually costs less than booking each one separately.

Likely price range
This is a ballpark based on typical Nashville-area jobs like yours, not a quote. Your final price can land outside this range – sometimes well outside it – depending on species, trunk size, lean, decay, what is underneath, equipment access and permits. Nobody can price a tree accurately without seeing it.
Get an Accurate Estimate NowDo You Need a Tree Removal Permit in Nashville?
For most trees on a private residential lot in Nashville and Davidson County, no tree removal permit is needed. The exceptions are the ones that cause trouble – so we check your address before anything is scheduled and tell you what applies.
Public right-of-way
Trees between the sidewalk and the street, or elsewhere in the public right-of-way, are Metro's. Pruning or removing them needs approval from Metro Nashville's Urban Forestry Division first.
Development sites
When a property is being built on or redeveloped, Metro's tree protection rules can cover specimen trees, heritage trees and historic trees on the site, with replacement requirements if they come down.
Historic and conservation overlay zones
Properties in conservation overlay zones and historic districts can carry extra review for changes to the site. Worth checking before a large tree comes out.
Outside Davidson County
Franklin, Brentwood and other cities in Williamson County set their own tree rules, and they are not the same as Nashville's.
Service Areas: Nashville & Middle Tennessee
Based in central Nashville, our tree removal crews cover Davidson and Williamson counties plus the surrounding Middle Tennessee cities in Rutherford, Sumner and Wilson counties. If your address is not on the map, ask – we travel for the right job.

Tree Removal Questions, Answered
How much does tree removal cost in Nashville?
Tree removal cost comes down to size, access, the tree's condition and what is underneath it – a tree in an open back lot and the same tree between a house and a power line are very different jobs. You get a free written quote with transparent prices before any work starts, so there is nothing to settle up afterward.
Try the tree removal cost estimatorDo I need a tree removal permit in Nashville?
Most trees on private residential property in Nashville can be removed without a permit, but trees in the public right-of-way, trees protected during development, and properties in historic or conservation overlay zones follow different rules – and Williamson County cities set their own. We check what applies to your address before anything is scheduled.
See when a permit appliesWhen is the best time for tree removal in Nashville?
For a healthy tree you simply want gone, late fall through winter is usually best in Middle Tennessee: the leaves are off, the tree is lighter and easier to rig, the ground is firmer so the lawn takes less damage, and schedules are more open. Dead, leaning or storm-damaged trees are different – do not wait for a season, have them looked at now.
Check the warning signsDo you offer emergency tree removal?
Yes. Emergency tree service is available 24/7 for trees on houses, cars and fences, and for limbs blocking a drive or street. Call rather than using the form so we can get to you as quickly as possible.
Emergency tree removalWhat is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding takes the stump down below the soil line and leaves the roots to break down naturally – it is quicker, cheaper and is what most yards need. Full stump removal pulls the root ball as well, which is only worth it when you are building or regrading right on that spot.
Stump grinding & stump removalAre you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed and fully insured for residential tree service and commercial properties alike. Ask for a certificate of insurance with your quote and we will send it.
Do you clean up when you are done?
Cleanup is part of the job, not an add-on. Tree debris removal, wood waste disposal, raking and blowing off hard surfaces are all included, and we walk the property with you before leaving. Tell us up front if you want the wood cut and stacked instead.
How we workWhat areas do you cover?
Nashville and Davidson County, plus the surrounding Middle Tennessee communities including Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna and more. If you are not sure whether you are in range, ask.
