Felled hardwood trunk cut clean through, the pale cross-section showing a hollow at the heart

Certified arborist inspections

Read the rings before the first cut.

A hollow heart, a lean toward the house, a crack where two leaders meet: a certified arborist walks the property first, evaluates the hazard and the health of the tree, and tells you plainly whether it needs trimming, watching or removal. The walk-around and the estimate are free.

Hardwood cross-section, hollow at the pith

Licensed, bonded and insured

Crown to stump

One crew for the whole tree, from the top of the canopy to the last of the roots, then the clean-up.

  1. Canopy
    Aerial lift bucket raised into the crown of a mature shade tree over a mown lawn
    Aerial lift bucket, pole saw, hand saw

    Trimming and pruning from the bucket

    Deadwood, crossing limbs, branches over the roof and the service line. The crew works the crown from the lift, takes what needs to go and leaves the tree its natural shape, so it grows back stronger instead of sprouting from stubs.

  2. Limb

    Storm limbs down, day or night

    A limb on the roof, a split trunk across the drive, a tree leaning on a line after a Middle Tennessee storm. Quality First offers 24/7 support for tree emergencies: the site is made safe first, then cleared and hauled off.

  3. Trunk

    Removal in sections, not one big drop

    Unwanted, dead or dangerous trees come down with the right equipment and safety protocols. In a tight yard the boom takes the tree apart piece by piece and lowers it, which is how one customer had four large trees taken out of a tight area with no property damage.

  4. Stump

    Ground out below the grass line

    A stump left behind is a trip hazard, a mower breaker and a home for insects. The grinder chews it out below grade so the spot can be raked level and seeded, and the chips are spread or hauled away.

Where does all that wood go?

That one and six more, answered the way the crew answers them in the yard.

Tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, emergency storm work, and certified arborist tree inspections. Estimates are free, and the crew hauls the wood and debris away when the job is done.

Yes. With a bucket truck the tree comes down in sections instead of being dropped whole, so the pieces are lowered and carried out. One customer, Randy Fitzgibbon, had four large trees removed from a tight area and wrote that there was no property damage.

Yes. Quality First offers 24/7 support for tree emergencies: limbs on a roof or across a drive, split trunks and fallen trees. Call (931) 374-8450 and the crew makes the site safe first, then clears it.

All work is licensed, bonded and insured, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee.

It leaves with the crew. Wood and debris are hauled away and recycled, so you are not left with a brush pile or a stack of rounds on the lawn.
