Smith Works Tree Service & Land Management is a professional tree service company in Nashville, TN. We help local homeowners and businesses protect their property, improve safety, and keep their trees healthy year-round.
We started six years ago with a truck, a chainsaw, and a commitment to doing honest work. Over the years, we've gotten more professional and have added better equipment and more experience – but at the core it's still about the same thing: doing safe, professional, and honest tree work.
Owner and lead arborist Tanner Smith has been in the industry since 2010. He’s supported by two expert climbers, each with over 25 years of hands-on experience, along with a skilled crew that has been well trained to safely handling equipment, ground work, and every detail on the job site.
Every project starts with a clear plan. We assess your trees, property access, nearby structures, utilities, and potential hazards before making a single cut.
Our goal is simple: protect your home, your property, and everyone around it – and provide a finished result you’re proud to see from your driveway.
Tree work is rarely "routine" when it's near your home, fence, or power lines. We frequently help with:
Dangerous branches hanging over roofs, driveways, or fences that could fall without warning
Branches rubbing shingles, clogging gutters, or pressing against your home's structure
Fallen trees and downed limbs blocking access after severe Nashville weather events
Dense canopies blocking sunlight, crowding structures, and creating safety risks on your property
Old stumps that create tripping hazards, attract pests, and make mowing a headache
Full property cleanup and land clearing for construction, landscaping, or new improvements
From routine tree maintenance to complex removals, we handle the work with the right plan, equipment, and cleanup.
Safe, controlled removal for trees that are dead, damaged, leaning, or too close to structures. Options can include haul-off, wood stacking, and full cleanup.
Improve safety and tree health with targeted trimming—deadwood removal, canopy thinning, and clearance for roofs, driveways, and walkways.
Grind stumps below grade to remove obstacles and improve usability. Ask about backfill options depending on your landscaping plans.
Fast help after high winds. We prioritize safety hazards, access restoration, and cleanup—especially when trees are near utility lines.
Clear overgrowth, brush, and unwanted trees to prepare for new projects or improve your property.
Ongoing trimming and risk reduction to keep trees healthier and safer through storm seasons.
Tree work is high-risk when it's near your home. The difference is the process.
Risk assessment of access points, targets like roofs and fences, and nearby hazards — so every cut is controlled.
When structures are nearby, we use ropes and rigging to lower sections safely instead of uncontrolled drops.
We protect the areas that matter, keep driveways usable, and manage debris as we go.
Blow-off, raking, haul-off — then a final walkthrough with you before we leave.
Clear, written breakdown based on access, hazards, size, and cleanup scope. No surprises.
Three simple steps from first call to a clean, safe yard.

After wind and storms, the priority is safety and access. If trees are near power lines, keep your distance and let us know—some situations require utility coordination first.

Call for Availability"The team at Smith Works Tree Service was extremely punctual and professional! They did excellent work from communicating a plan, to execution and clean-up. They're a 5-star company and a 10/10 across the board."
"When I called, they came. That's not something you can expect out of just any tree company. They made sure I was taken care of quickly and efficiently and that's all I could ask for. Thanks again guys, you saved me today."
"I have used Smith Works for both tree removal and as arborists. They dropped trees in tight places with precision and as arborists gave another 100 years to our old oak. They protected gardens, fences, etc and did a great job of cleaning up. Excellent folks."
"Absolutely exceeded my expectations!!! Smith Works truly understands trees — not just how to trim them, but how to care for their long-term health. They used what felt like a scalpel instead of an axe, preserving structure and promoting healthy growth."
"We have 8 pear trees lining our back yard. They had gotten so full. From the beginning to the very end of our service from Smith Works we couldn't have been happier. Their quote was fair and reasonable. They did an absolutely beautiful job and the clean up was impeccable."
"They do terrific work with fair pricing. It was a no-brainer when I woke up to find 2 trees down in my front yard. Working until after the sun went down, they got my storm damage cleaned up. Couldn't thank you guys enough."
We serve Nashville and surrounding communities, including Brentwood, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, and more.
