Expert Tree Removal in Nashville, TN

When a tree needs to come down, the job has to be done right. First Call Tree Service provides tree removal for homeowners across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Belle Meade, Murfreesboro, Fairview, and Spring Hill. We remove dead, dying, structurally compromised, and invasive trees — including Bradford pears, which Tennessee has recognized as an invasive species and many Nashville-area homeowners are actively pulling out. Nashville lots often present tight access, mature canopies, and structures close to the work zone, so careful planning before the first cut matters. For single-family residential properties in Davidson County, Metro permits are generally not required for trees on private land, though trees in the public right-of-way and certain heritage or specimen trees carry different rules. We walk you through what applies to your property before work begins. Our goal at First Call is simple: answer the phone, show up when we say we will, give you a fair price, and leave your property clean. Call us to schedule your free estimate.

Tree Removal FAQ

Common questions about tree removal in Nashville, TN.

Most single-family homeowners in Nashville do not need a Metro permit to remove a tree on their own private property. Trees in the public right-of-way and certain heritage or specimen trees are exceptions, so it is worth confirming before work starts.

We remove dead, dying, storm-damaged, and invasive trees across Nashville and surrounding cities like Franklin, Brentwood, and Murfreesboro. This includes Bradford pears, large oaks, tulip poplars, silver maples, and other common Middle Tennessee species.

A tree that is dead, has major structural decay, is leaning toward a structure, or has been identified as invasive typically needs full removal. We assess the tree when we come out and give you an honest recommendation — trimming has its own page if that turns out to be the right call.

Stump removal is a separate service from tree removal, and we can discuss that option when we assess your property. Let us know during your estimate if stump removal is something you want addressed.

We serve homeowners across the greater Nashville area, including Brentwood, Franklin, Nolensville, Belle Meade, Murfreesboro, Fairview, and Spring Hill. Call us to confirm service availability at your specific address.

We haul away debris and leave your property clean after the job is done. If you want logs kept for firewood, let us know before we start and we will work around that preference.
