Trees Near Your House

Big trees beside a home bring shade and value, and risk. Here is how to tell whether yours are fine or a problem waiting to happen.

Many Nashville homes sit under big, beautiful trees. They cool the house, soften the street and add real value. They also drop leaves, scrape roofs, lift pavement and, now and then, fall. A tree near the house deserves a closer look than a tree in the back field.

A Certified Arborist can tell which trees are a good neighbor and which are not. Often a little pruning or support makes a tree safe. Sometimes removal is the honest answer. Either way, you get a clear plan instead of a worry.
