Storm Damage Clean Up, Fallen Tree & Debris Removal in Nashville, TN
Nashville Professional Tree Service cleans up after storms across Nashville and Davidson County, from one split maple to a lot buried under oak limbs. We cut, haul and rake so the yard is usable again.
The late-January 2026 winter storm set the scale. More than 230,000 Nashville Electric Service customers lost power, about half the utility's base, and most outages traced to trees and limbs on lines. Ice-loaded branches kept dropping for days, and the March 2020 tornado still shows what one night can do to East Nashville, Germantown, Donelson and Hermitage.
Crews head wherever the damage is: Belle Meade, Sylvan Park, Bellevue, Inglewood, Donelson, Crieve Hall and out into Brentwood and Franklin. If a tree is still threatening the house, our 24/7 emergency tree removal crew takes that first.

Storm Cleanup & Debris Services
Fallen Trees & Windthrow
Saturated limestone soil lets tall tulip poplars and silver maples fall root plate and all. We section them in a safe order, set the plate back or grind it, and haul the wood.
A tree still hanging at an angle is the riskiest of all, so it goes to the front of the line.
Ice-Loaded Limbs & Broken Crowns
Ice multiplies the load on a limb. Silver maples, white pines and Bradford pears shed first, and pears split at weak unions. We cut back to sound wood and say plainly when a tree is not worth keeping.
Limbs left hanging after the January storm can fall weeks later, so we pull them down while we are there.
Debris Haul-Off & Free Mulch
We chip and haul everything, or leave the chips for your garden beds. Curbside pickup after a big storm can lag, and Metro sets its own stacking rules, so we check before telling you to wait.
Logs too big to chip go to a mill or a firewood pile, never a burn pile.
Trees on Roofs, Fences & Sheds
Limbs on a roof, carport or board fence come off in pieces, lightest first, so damaged framing is not loaded further. We tarp exposed decking afterward and hand off to your roofer.
Dated photos before and after go to you, with notes on which limb struck which part, for the insurance file.
Spotting Hidden Damage
After wind or ice, our arborist looks for cracked unions, lifted soil at the base, hung-up limbs and trunks leaning that stood straight last week.
Ash deserve a second look. Emerald ash borer arrived in Davidson County in 2014, and a storm often finishes an ash that was already thinning.
Restoring a Storm-Torn Canopy
Oaks and maples that lost limbs are left with torn stubs and lopsided crowns. We cut back to sound wood and rebalance so new growth attaches well.
Handled right, pruning rescues trees that look wrecked the first week. White and red oaks usually bounce back, and we often split the work over two visits to spare the tree a double shock.
How a Cleanup Visit Runs
Right after a storm everybody calls at once, so we work in a fixed order. Danger gets handled first.
1. Walk-Through & Line Check
We walk every downed or damaged tree, look for lines on or near the wood, and sort what must happen today from what can wait. Soft ground tells us where trucks can park.
2. Written Plan & Price
A written plan puts safety work first and cleanup second, each priced separately, so you decide how much to do now.
3. Cutting & Rigging
Fallen trees and hazard limbs come out in rigged sections, with a crane when a roof carries the load.
4. Haul-Off & Rake-Up
Wood is chipped or trucked off, small debris raked, and gutters, roofs and driveways cleared.
5. Photos & Tarp Handoff
Dated photos and an itemized invoice come to you, along with a note for your roofer on anything we tarped.
Storm Cleanup Questions in Nashville
What does fallen tree cleanup cost in Nashville?
Most single trees land between roughly $400 and $1,800, and crane or hard-access jobs run $1,800 to $4,000 or more. After-hours storm work usually carries an emergency premium. You hear the number before we cut.
Do you work while NES is still restoring power?
Yes, wherever lines are not involved. Where wires touch a tree, we wait for the utility, then cut once it is cleared.
Who pays for a tree that fell from a neighbor's yard?
Generally the owner of the lot where the tree ended up deals with it, often through their own insurance. Trees in a public right-of-way belong to Metro, and NES handles limbs on its lines.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm tree removal?
Many policies cover removal when a tree hits a covered structure, and a few add a small debris allowance. Our insurance documentation service helps you assemble the claim.
What can I do with limbs while I wait for pickup?
Metro sets the rules for curbside brush and they can change after a major storm, so check current Metro Public Works guidance. We can also chip and haul everything and skip the wait.
Do you give free estimates during busy weeks?
Yes, every estimate is free and written, however busy the week. Home cleanups need no deposit.
