Species Vulnerability: Nashville’s common Hackberry and Silver Maple trees are particularly prone to limb failure during wind events. Saturated Soil Risk: Middle Tennessee’s heavy rains soften the clay soil, allowing even healthy-looking […]

The big question is always: Can I just bolt it […]

“Can't recommend The Good Tree Company enough. Joseph's knowledge of trees and what we need to be paying attention to was tremendous. The team came and did a variety of things (bush removal, holly bush trims, tree removal and some Crepe Myrtle clean up).”
“Love the Good Tree team. They have been helping me since I moved in a few years ago with a property [with] over 15+ mature trees. They have been very helpful in the transition from building a home to maintaining mature trees and improving the soil post-construction. Highly recommend them.”
“Great experience from start to finish. We had a tree that was not blooming so they came out and gave us some reasons that might cause it and recommendations on what we could do. Took part of the tree out and advised us to wait and see if it responded. They are extremely knowledgeable and reasonable!”
“Good Tree Company is the best tree company that we have worked with - in our 40 years of managing trees at our home. We also have the perspective of owning and managing many pine tree plantations ... Not only do we recommend The Good Tree Company, but we wish for their continued success in this business.”
“The Good Tree crew removed a large tree for us yesterday and did some major trimming, pruning, stump grinding, and cabling. It was a positive experience all around, from Casey's initial assessment to complete clean-up before they left.”
“I would highly recommend this company! They removed several large arborvitaes, an oak tree and then trimmed 4 other trees on our property. They were on time, very professional, thoughtful on how to best trim the trees to maintain their health and for a fair price. From quote to finish, it was a great experience!”
