Nashville is mature neighborhoods stacked on top of older trees. Big oaks and hackberries hang over the roofline. Silver maple and hackberry limbs drop after the kind of summer storm that rolls through every few weeks. Driveways are narrow, side gates are tighter than the homeowner remembered, and the fence the crew has to work over usually belongs to the neighbor.
Most of our Nashville work is about getting a tree off something — a roofline, a fence, a driveway, a play set. The trees themselves are often fine. The story is in the access and what's underneath. We plan the rigging and the drop zones before any cutting starts.
These are properties in active daily use — driveways, side yards, fences shared with neighbors. We plan the cuts and the cleanup around that, not around what would be easiest if the property were empty. Yard should look better than when we arrived. That's the standard.
