Tree Services in Hendersonville, TN

Old Hickory Lake Shoreline

Hendersonville's lake lots bring good views and some of the area's trickiest trees.

Wind Across Open Water

Wind gets a long run over Old Hickory Lake before it reaches the first row of homes. Trees on the shore take the full force, and shallow roots in wet clay are slow to anchor. A lighter, more open crown lets wind pass through instead of pushing on a solid sail.

Limbs Over Boathouses and Docks

Large limbs over a dock or boathouse are a liability. Careful tree trimming and pruning removes the weight over the structure and keeps cuts clean, and we lower the wood by rope so nothing hits the roof or the water.

Silver Maples and Sycamores on the Bank

These fast growers like moisture and are brittle. They split in summer storms, and the biggest ones deserve a check every few years.

Sumner County and Local Rules

Hendersonville answers to its own city rules, which are not Nashville's or Davidson County's.

City Review

Dead trees and storm damage are usually simple, but healthy large trees or lots being developed may need the city's approval. We check before we cut and tell you what to expect.

Many lake neighborhoods also have a homeowners association. We give you a written estimate, photos and notes from our arborist to attach to any request, along with a replacement suggestion that fits the space.

Association Approval

Removing or replacing a front-yard tree may need sign-off from the HOA. Having the paperwork ready speeds up the answer and avoids a surprise letter later.

Ash, Pears and Other Problem Trees

A few species account for a large share of the failures we see in Hendersonville.

Failing Callery Pears

Bradford pears typically live only fifteen to twenty-five years, and their weak branch unions split in wind and ice. They are on Tennessee's invasive list. Redbud, dogwood, serviceberry and magnolia make better replacements.

Emerald Ash Borer Triage

Emerald ash borer reached Davidson County in 2014, and ash across the region is declining. A tree health diagnostics visit tells you whether an ash is worth treating in spring or should come out before it turns brittle.

Indian Lake, Drakes Creek and Gallatin Pike

Hendersonville's pockets are different, and the trees come with them.

Indian Lake Neighborhoods

Homes around Indian Lake often have older oaks and maples set close to the water. Roots grow wide and shallow, and a heavy lean over a roof calls for early action.

Drakes Creek Hollows

Creek hollows hold sycamores, hackberries and tulip poplars growing in loose, wet soil. After heavy rain, they can tip or shed big limbs onto the lots below.

Older homes along Gallatin Pike were landscaped decades ago, so trees there have outgrown the plan. Selective pruning or a well-chosen removal usually fixes the problem.

Hendersonville Tree FAQs

A few more questions we hear.

What does stump grinding cost after a removal?

Stump grinding generally runs about $150 to $500 per stump, depending on size, roots and access. Once the chips are cleared, the spot is ready to replant.

Do you work with homeowners associations?

Yes. We work for individual owners and for associations. Common-area trees need the association's go-ahead first.

What does tree trimming cost?

Most trimming jobs run about $300 to $1,200, depending on the tree's size, height and how much needs to come off.

How soon can you get here after a storm?

Our 24/7 storm response covers Hendersonville, and trees on a house or blocking a driveway go to the top of the list. Emergency work carries a premium.
