"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

"I've needed to get several stumps removed for a long time. It's hard to find people to show up and give you a quote. Oddly enough the guys at A+ tree service were driving by and saw that I needed work done. The quote they gave me was more than reasonable. They even performed the work same day. I would give them 100 stars if possible."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

You can use a felling ax to chop down a tree by following the same prep and steps as a chainsaw, but be prepared to use some muscle. For trees bigger than 7 inches in diameter, it can take some time and serious strength to cut down a tree using just an ax. 

Some people prefer to leave or even carve a leftover stump, but we recommend removing it if possible. You can often dig out smaller trunks with a shovel once they have died and dried out. You can have stumps professionally removed, or request a service to grind them down to ground level so they can be replaced with other landscaping or objects.

You can use a chainsaw, but it won’t remove the entire stump or root ball and is not a recommended method. It takes quite a bit of physical work to achieve and will likely dull or ruin your chainsaw. Instead, consider using salt, herbicide, light deprivation, boiling water, stump grinding, or burning to kill a tree stump. These methods allow you to kill a stump using minimal machinery and physical exertion.

While trees can grow in the curb strip between the sidewalk and the street, this placement often poses the problem of interfering with overhead power lines. It’s best to consult your local utility provider and tree planting service before transplanting a tree that might grow into power lines. Also, you should never work within 20 feet of a live power line to avoid the risk of electric shock. Tree branches should never touch nearby power lines, so it’s essential to ensure your tree isn’t in danger of growing too close to them.
