The Certified Arborist Tree Service
Professional arborists based in Nashville, Tennessee. Serving homeowners, commercial properties, and municipalities across the Nashville metro and Middle Tennessee.
Certified Expertise, Not Just Tree Work
The Certified Arborist Tree Service was founded on the principle that tree care should be led by people who actually know trees. That means trained, experienced arborists on every job, not general laborers supervised from a distance.
We operate out of Nashville and serve communities throughout Middle Tennessee. Every piece of work we do follows ANSI A300 standards, the same standards used by municipalities and major institutions.
Our clients range from homeowners in Brentwood managing estate lots to commercial property managers in Nashville responsible for large portfolios. The credential level stays the same regardless of the job size.
Why Credentials Matter for Tree Work
Tree work involves chainsaws, rigging, heights, and heavy loads over structures and people. The difference between an expert arborist and an uncredentialed crew is not just knowledge. It is accountability, insurance, and legal standing.
The Credential Standard
A real credential separates an expert arborist from a crew with a chainsaw. Credentialed arborists pass a rigorous examination covering tree biology, pruning, diagnosis, risk assessment, and professional ethics, plus ongoing continuing education. When you hire a tree service, ask about those credentials as your baseline quality filter.
TRAQ Risk Assessment
TRAQ (Tree Risk Assessment Qualification) is an advanced credential for formal tree risk assessment. Arborists using TRAQ methodology produce written risk reports accepted by insurance companies, attorneys, and municipalities. We follow TRAQ methodology for all formal risk assessments, commercial clients, and any situation where a documented risk finding is required.
General Liability Insurance
Every crew carries active general liability insurance. Before work begins on your property, we can provide a certificate of insurance naming you or your property management company as an additional insured. We do not work uninsured.
Workers' Compensation
All crew members are covered by workers' compensation insurance. This protects you as a property owner from liability in the event of a job-site injury. Hiring an uninsured tree company exposes you to this liability. We eliminate it.
What to Expect When You Hire Us
We work by the same standards on every job, whether it is a single backyard tree or a multi-property commercial account.
