"Leigh and his team did an awesome job taking down an 80 foot tree in my back yard. A bucket truck could not be used due my fence and clearances, however the spider lift fit through my gate and was awesome in completing the job. Leigh is very professional and easy to communicate with. His guys also cut up sections of both trees so that they could be split, seasoned and used as firewood. I would hire him again."

This is how the skyline looked after we removed several trees that were too close to the right side of the house.  There were more trees too close on the left side of the house, that can be removed in another project.
This is a good opportunity to see how we set up a  driveway job.  You can see our rear-mounted bucket truck, and plywood to protect the driveway as needed.  You can also see our chipper and chip truck, and our tool trailer is parked along the curb.
This is after getting set up to cut the largest tree.

Customers say: Quality work

"Cody and his team were fantastic and friendly. They not only cut down the original request of a dead tree but also help me with a very large tree I knew was not in good shape. I asked them to please cut everything into 14 inches so it would fit our wood burning stove. They not only cut both trees but actually measure each large branch/trunk to make sure the length was correct. Cody did everything the way I wanted it. They also stacked everything up so we could easily split all the wood. Cody would have split it if we wanted it done. The best part was the very fair cost he gave me to do both trees. I highly recommend this company. You will be very happy with their work."

"Second Nature worked quickly and efficiently with me when I reached out to them about doing aeration for my lawn. The price was reasonable, and they seemed to do a quality job as far as I can tell. I only used them for the aeration since I normally do the fertilizer and seeding myself."

Small jobs welcome

"I recently hired Iron Brothers Construction in Nashville for tree work and stump removal, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did an excellent job from start to finish—everything was completed efficiently and within a very reasonable timeframe. The pricing was fair and competitive, especially considering the quality of the work. What really stood out to me was how personable and professional the owner was. He made the whole process easy, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done right. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality tree services, I highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

Ideally, you should wait to prune until trees have gone dormant in late fall to early winter. The worst times to prune trees are early fall and late summer, as pruning them so close to dormancy makes it difficult for the tree recover before it goes dormant for the season.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Steer clear of the area and contact your utility company immediately. It will have a website portal and/or a phone number to report downed trees and electrical issues. If the tree appears to be on public land, you may want to call your local government and report the issue there, too.
