Complete Tree Care for Nashville Properties
Safe Tree Removal Nashville Service
Professional tree removal for any size tree on your Nashville property. We safely remove trees from tight East Nashville lots to large Green Hills estates. Our experienced crews handle everything from small ornamentals to massive oaks. Complete cleanup and hauling included with every tree removal Nashville job.
Tree removal becomes necessary for storm damage from Tennessee thunderstorms and ice storms, disease threatening other trees, structural decay, or trees in the wrong location. In historic neighborhoods, we frequently remove aging Bradford pears or mature trees damaged by severe weather.
Our process starts with assessment by an ISA-certified arborist who evaluates the tree’s condition and safest removal method. We determine equipment needed and plan every aspect to minimize impact on your property. For large trees near structures in Green Hills or Belle Meade, we use crane services for safe removal.
Metro Nashville may require permits for certain removals in historic districts. We handle all requirements and ensure compliance. Our fully insured crews follow strict safety protocols, protecting your home, landscaping, and neighboring properties.
Every removal includes complete cleanup, we haul away all debris. Stump grinding available to remove stumps several inches below ground. If you’re unsure whether a tree needs removal, learn when your tree needs removal to make an informed decision.
Professional Tree Trimming & Pruning
Expert tree trimming for healthier, safer trees. Our ISA-certified arborists use proper pruning techniques that promote strong growth and reduce storm damage risk. Our tree trimming Nashville service covers everything from flowering dogwoods to towering oaks throughout Davidson County.
Professional tree trimming Nashville services require understanding tree biology and species-specific needs. In Nashville, we work with native hardwoods like red oak and white oak from Belle Meade to East Nashville, along with ornamental species like crepe myrtles and Japanese maples.
Our arborists follow ISA pruning standards, we never “top” trees or make cuts that compromise health. We perform crown thinning to reduce wind resistance, crown raising to clear structures, and crown reduction for trees growing into power lines. Each cut promotes healthy healing.
Nashville’s hot, humid summers stress trees, while ice storms damage branches. We recommend pruning deciduous trees in late winter before spring growth, though dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately. For guidance on your specific trees, find the best time to trim trees for maximum health.
Our crews use sharp, properly maintained equipment and follow strict safety protocols. We protect your property with careful rope work and complete every job with thorough cleanup.
Fast & Affordable Emergency Tree Service
24/7 emergency tree service for storm damage and hazardous situations. When trees fall on homes or block driveways, we respond immediately. Our emergency crews are available day or night with professional equipment ready for any situation.
Nashville experiences severe weather: powerful thunderstorms with straight-line winds, occasional tornadoes, and winter ice storms. When these events damage trees, you need immediate professional help.
Our emergency teams are available 24/7/365 throughout Nashville and Middle Tennessee. We arrive with equipment ready to handle any situation, from large oaks on homes in Belle Meade to dangerous widow-makers in East Nashville. Safety is our first priority. We assess situations carefully, secure areas, and work systematically to remove hazards.
We work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims, providing documentation and photos. Quick response minimizes damage, tarping roofs immediately, removing trees properly, and preventing water intrusion saves thousands in repairs.
Our services cover all urgent situations: trees on homes or vehicles, trees blocking access, dangerous leaners, and widow-maker branches. We serve all Nashville neighborhoods from downtown to Donelson. While preparing your trees for severe weather helps minimize damage, we’re ready when storms strike.
Stump Grinding & Stump Removal
Professional stump grinding removes unsightly stumps and eliminates safety hazards. We grind stumps several inches below ground level, leaving your yard ready for new landscaping. Affordable service for single stumps or multiple removals.
Stump grinding and complete removal serve different purposes. Grinding removes the visible stump and root mass several inches below ground, sufficient for most landscaping. Complete removal extracts the entire root ball, necessary only for building locations.
Our commercial grinders handle any size stump. We grind 6-8 inches below grade so grass grows without interference. Wood chips can be left as mulch or hauled away.
Removing stumps prevents common problems: decaying stumps attract termites and carpenter ants, old stumps sprout new shoots, and stumps create tripping hazards. Properties in Green Hills and Forest Hills often have valuable landscaping we protect carefully.
We can grind stumps same day, schedule your dedicated appointment. Our equipment fits through standard gates for backyard access.

Professional Tree Care Results You Can See
Expert Tree Care for Unique Tennessee Landscape
For over 35 years, New Horizon has been Nashville’s trusted partner for tree care. We’re not a national chain sending different crews each time, we’re a family-owned company with deep roots in Music City. Our ISA-certified arborists bring professional expertise to every job, from routine trimming to emergency removal.
What truly sets us apart is experience that matters. We know Nashville’s neighborhoods intimately, historic properties in Germantown with century-old trees, tight urban lots in The Gulch, sprawling Belle Meade estates. We understand Middle Tennessee’s climate challenges: severe thunderstorms that strike suddenly, ice storms that damage tree canopies, and hot, humid conditions that stress trees.
New Horizon Tree Service has cared for Nashville’s trees since 1989. We are a family-owned company rooted right here in Middle Tennessee, not a national chain that sends a different crew every visit. From the mature oaks and tulip poplars that shade Nashville’s established neighborhoods to the younger trees filling the area’s growing suburbs, we understand how local trees grow, what threatens them in our clay soil and humid summers, and how to keep them healthy and safe.
We serve homeowners throughout Nashville and Davidson County, from neighborhoods like Antioch and Sylvan Park to the surrounding communities of Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Brentwood, and Franklin. Because our tree service in Nashville is locally based, you get faster response times, lower travel costs, and crews who already know the soil, the storms, and the tree species in your part of town.
Every tree on your property is evaluated by an ISA-certified arborist before any work begins. That training is the difference between real tree care and someone with a chainsaw: our arborists read tree biology, make pruning cuts that protect a tree’s long-term health, catch disease and pest problems early, and follow strict safety protocols. We work to ANSI pruning standards and never top a tree, because shortcuts that look fine today can kill a tree within a few seasons.
Middle Tennessee weather is hard on trees. Spring brings severe storms and the occasional tornado, summer brings heat and sudden thunderstorms, and winter brings ice that snaps limbs and splits trunks. When a tree comes down or a limb starts threatening your home, our 24/7 emergency team responds quickly, arrives with the right equipment, and documents the damage for your insurance claim.
We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, carrying both liability coverage and workers’ compensation, so there is no risk to you while we work on your property. Our equipment and crews cover the full range of tree work: tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and emergency response, backed by specialized trucks, commercial chippers, stump grinders, and crane service for the largest jobs.
Every job starts with a free, detailed estimate and clear pricing, so you understand the scope and the cost before we begin. We treat your property like our own and clean up completely before we leave. As your neighbors here in Nashville, our reputation rides on every job we do, and after more than three decades, that is still what drives us.

Late winter (January, March) is ideal for most Nashville hardwoods like oaks, maples, and elms, trees are dormant, and you can see the branch structure clearly. Crepe myrtles should be pruned in late February before new growth. Avoid heavy pruning during summer heat stress. Our certified arborists evaluate each species and recommend the best timing for your specific trees.
It depends on the location. Metro Nashville requires permits for removing trees in historic overlay districts, urban zoning overlay areas, and on public right-of-way. Heritage trees (40+ inches in diameter) may have additional protections. We handle all permit applications and coordinate with Metro Nashville codes for you, it’s included in our service.
Look for ISA-certified arborists, proof of liability insurance ($1M minimum) and workers’ comp, a Tennessee business license, and verifiable local reviews. Avoid companies that demand full upfront payment, can’t provide insurance certificates, or recommend topping trees. New Horizon has served Nashville since 1989 with 180+ five-star reviews and $2M in liability coverage.
Most single-tree removals in Nashville take 2-5 hours, including complete cleanup and hauling. Factors that affect timing include tree height and diameter, proximity to structures or power lines, backyard access, and whether crane service is needed. Large or complex removals (80+ feet, close to homes) may take a full day. We provide time estimates during your free consultation.
