March 11th, a brief but strong storm came through Goodlettsville and blew over two giant trees in my front yard; one which was being supported by a 3rd tree that was facing and threatening my house. It was an…

Question 1 of 5
What do you need done?
How we work
You'll get an arborist who's seen this exact tree problem a thousand times.
Estimates are handled by an experienced professional arborist, not a salesperson. That means honest diagnosis, plain language explanations, and a written plan you can actually act on. Our crews are trained to ANSI A300 industry standards to keep the work consistent and safe, but our real proof is the trees still standing on the streets we've worked for forty years.
The Insurance That Matters
Coverage built for tree work, protecting every inch of your property.
Expert Arborists
Estimates come from an experienced professional walking your property, not a script.
Year Round Service
Mon–Sun, 24 hours. We don't pause for the seasons.
The standard
Five checks before any crew carries this name.
Every crew passes the same gate before it works under The Certified Arborist Tree Service, and has to keep passing it to stay. Crews are trained to ANSI A300 standards.

Expert insights & resources
Top headlines and tree-care news.
When a tree needs to come down, and when it doesn't.
Most trees we're asked to remove can be saved with the right cut. Here's what we look at before we recommend a chainsaw.
Read articleIs your tree dead, or just dormant?
Bare limbs don't always mean a dead tree. The scratch test and a few other checks tell you what's really going on before anyone quotes a removal.
Read articleKeep summer heat from stressing your trees.
Heat stress shows up weeks after the damage is done. Watering depth, mulch, and timing that keep a canopy healthy through the hottest months.

Questions? Glad you asked.
Don't see what you're looking for? Call us. Every call is answered by a human arborist or scheduler.
How quickly can an arborist visit my property?
For standard estimates, an expert arborist will respond within 24 hours. Emergency storm dispatch averages under 2 hours within our service area.
Are your arborists certified?
Estimates are handled by an experienced professional arborist, not a salesperson. Our crews are trained to ANSI A300 industry standards. The real proof is the trees still standing on the streets we've worked for forty years.
Do you grind the stump after a removal?
Yes. We can grind the stump below grade on the same day as the removal, or come back later if you'd rather decide once you see the yard. Stump grinding is a separate line item on the estimate so you can opt in or out.
Do you handle commercial and municipal properties?
Yes. We work with property managers, HOAs, campuses, parks departments, and Fortune-500 facilities teams. Ask about our multi-location management program.
Is the estimate really free, with no commitment?
Yes. An arborist walks your property, identifies issues, and gives you a written plan with line-item pricing. You decide what (if anything) to move forward with. No contracts, no automatic renewals.
Do you do work in winter?
Absolutely. Winter is one of our favorite seasons for trimming. The canopy is bare so we can see what we're doing, and frozen ground is easier on your lawn. We work year round.
How it works
Three steps, start to stump.

An expert arborist walks your property, looks at the trees, and tells you what actually needs doing.
