About Smyrna Tree Removal

Smyrna Tree Removal is a tree service based in Smyrna, TN with more than twenty years of work behind it in Middle Tennessee. That time has been spent across the cedar glades of the Inner Nashville Basin, the deeper uplands of the Outer Basin, and the escarpment on the Sumner County side, which is a longer way of saying that the ground changes considerably inside our service area and we have worked most of it.

We are a removal and pruning company first, and an assessment company by necessity. A fair number of the trees we are called out to look at do not need to come down, and saying so is part of the job rather than a favor.

Our Approach

The practical difference here is that we read the ordinance for the city the tree actually stands in. This service area crosses six counties, the permit answer changes at the line, two cities regulate a tree as an aviation obstruction, and four different electric utilities publish four different sets of clearance rules. We check which of those apply to your address before quoting rather than assuming the answer we used last week. Disposal is priced the same way, against the gate serving the county the job is in, because the rate is charged by the ton in one county and by the cubic yard in the next.

Everything we intend to do goes in writing before we start, and the inclusions are named individually: the trunk rounds, the stump, the grindings and the chips. We tell owners up front that the town will not collect brush a contractor cut, so hauling it is our cost and it is in the quote. We prune to the objectives and cut types the ANSI A300 standard defines, and we do not top trees. We will tell you when a tree can be cabled, braced or pruned instead of removed, and where a written condition report is what you actually need, we write one you can hand to a neighbor, an insurer or an HOA architectural review committee.

Equipment follows the site rather than the other way around. Compact tracked machines fit a standard subdivision gate, so a back-yard tree does not have to become a crane job, and we carry crane and rigging capacity for the mature canopy on the older lots around the hub where a rope job is not the safe answer. Storm work is planned around the straight-line wind, tornadoes and ice loading this region actually records.

What We Do

We handle tree removal and emergency storm response, arborist inspection and tree risk assessment, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding and stump removal, crane-assisted removals, land clearing and forestry mulching, shrub, hedge and brush removal, tree disease and plant health care, tree planting and transplanting, and the permit and neighbor-tree questions that come with all of it. Estimates are free and there is no charge for a straight answer, so tell us what the tree is doing and we will tell you what it needs.
