In Nashville, small tree removal typically ranges from $200-800, medium trees $800-1,500, and large tree removal can cost $1,500-5,000 or more. Trees near structures in neighborhoods like Belle Meade or Green Hills may require specialized equipment, affecting cost. We provide free, detailed estimates for every job.

The best time for tree trimming depends on the tree species and your goals. In Nashville, late winter (January-March) is ideal for most deciduous trees like oaks and maples because they're dormant and less stressed by pruning. However, dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Spring-blooming trees should be pruned after flowering. Our arborists can assess your specific trees and recommend the optimal timing. Learn more about winter tree trimming in Nashville.

Several signs indicate a tree may need removal: significant lean (especially if sudden), large dead branches throughout the canopy, trunk decay or cavities, root damage or construction damage, disease that threatens other trees, or trees too close to structures or power lines. In Nashville's older neighborhoods, aging trees damaged by storms often require removal for safety. Our ISA-certified arborists provide professional assessments to determine if removal is necessary or if treatment can save the tree. Read our guide on when to remove a tree in Nashville.

Yes, we work directly with insurance companies on storm damage claims. After severe weather, we document damage with detailed photos, provide written estimates for repairs, and communicate with adjusters as needed. Our experience with Nashville's frequent thunderstorms and ice storms means we understand the insurance process. We can also provide emergency tarping and immediate tree removal to prevent further damage. Quick response after storms is critical—call our emergency service immediately if you have tree damage.

Our comprehensive tree removal service includes everything from start to finish. We begin with professional assessment by ISA-certified arborists, obtain any necessary permits (required in some Nashville historic districts), safely remove the entire tree using proper equipment and techniques, cut all debris into manageable pieces, haul away all wood and branches, and clean up your property completely. Stump grinding is available as an add-on service to remove stumps 6-8 inches below ground level. You're left with a clean property ready for whatever comes next.

New Horizon Tree Service has been serving Nashville since 1989—over 35 years of professional tree care. We're a third-generation family-owned company with deep roots in Music City.

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates for all tree services. One of our ISA-certified arborists will visit your property, assess your trees and specific situation, explain what work is needed and why, answer all your questions, and provide transparent, detailed pricing. There's never any pressure or obligation. We believe informed customers make the best decisions, so we take time to ensure you understand exactly what we'll do and what it costs.

After tree removal, we haul away all debris as part of our standard service. Large logs can be cut into firewood lengths and left on your property if you'd like to keep them—just let us know during the estimate. Otherwise, we dispose of all wood and branches properly. Wood chips from stump grinding can be left as mulch for your landscaping or hauled away, whichever you prefer. Our goal is to leave your property clean and ready for whatever you have planned next.

We can safely remove trees near power lines, but the process depends on the situation. If branches are touching or very close to power lines, we coordinate with your utility company (Nashville Electric Service or others) who may need to temporarily disconnect power for safety. For trees growing into lines, we follow strict safety protocols and use proper equipment. In many Nashville neighborhoods like East Nashville and Sylvan Park, mature trees often interfere with lines—we handle these situations regularly and safely.

Our emergency response teams are available 24/7/365 and typically arrive within hours of your call, often faster for truly dangerous situations. When trees fall on homes or block driveways during Nashville's severe storms, we prioritize life-safety situations and work through the night if needed. We maintain emergency crews on standby during storm events, so we're ready when you need us. For urgent but non-emergency situations during business hours, we often provide same-day or next-day service.
