Hendersonville Tree Work, Start to Finish
Lots on Old Hickory Lake often have big trees growing close to the house, the dock, or a retaining wall, with little room for heavy equipment. We take those trees down in controlled sections with rigging, protect everything under them, and clear the site completely when we’re done.
Wind off the water puts extra stress on lakeside trees. Our crew thins crowns to let the wind through, removes deadwood before storm season, and clears branches off power lines, using proper cuts that keep the tree healthy. We trim all over town, from Indian Lake to the streets along New Shackle Island Road.
When a tree falls on your roof, blocks the driveway, or hangs on a power line, call (615) 260-5303. We secure the dangerous situations first and help you document the damage for your insurance claim.
A stump left behind draws termites and carpenter ants, and the extra moisture on a lake lot makes that worse. We grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below grade and backfill so you can reseed or replant, and we can grind out surface roots on the same visit.

Trees on Old Hickory Lake
Take a Beating
Trees here face more weather than most in Middle Tennessee. The December 2023 tornado that tore through Madison and Hendersonville showed how fast a big tree can come down, and lakefront trees along Sanders Ferry Road and Rockland Road take wind off the water every season.
Away from the lake, in Indian Lake, Walton Ferry, Lakeside Park, and Durham Farms, the work is mostly crown reduction on big shade trees, stump grinding after old removals, and shaping younger plantings.
One thing lake owners should know: the strip along much of the shoreline is Corps of Engineers land, not part of your lot, and the Corps does not allow cutting trees there without its say-so. We’ll help you figure out which side of the line a tree is on before anyone starts a saw. Owner Troy Zanko’s own crew does the work, with $2 million in liability coverage plus workers’ comp, and we don’t subcontract.
