Serving Cedar City and Wilson County with licensed, insured, family-owned tree care. Free on-site estimates, upfront pricing, and 24/7 emergency response.
Smith Works provides written estimates, clear scope, and professional tree care across Cedar City and Wilson County.
Lebanon earned its nickname "Cedar City" because eastern red cedars grow natively throughout Wilson County – and that means local tree care has its own character. Dead cedar removal is one of the most common calls we receive in Lebanon: cedars are hardy when healthy, but dead specimens become brittle and unpredictable near roofs, fences, and driveways. Beyond cedars, Lebanon's older neighborhoods like Castle Heights and the West Main Street corridor feature substantial oaks and maples that require thoughtful structural pruning and canopy thinning to stay safe over time. Newer subdivisions along Baddour Parkway and the I-40 corridor bring their own set of lot clearing and land clearing needs as Lebanon continues to grow. Wilson County sits in Middle Tennessee's storm corridor, which means spring severe weather, tornado watches, and straight-line wind events are real hazards that can put mature trees onto structures with little warning. Smith Works is ready for both the routine and the urgent – with a free on-site estimate, upfront pricing, and a written quote before any work begins.
Safe tree removal for properties throughout Lebanon and Wilson County – from dead eastern red cedar removal in rural yards to large-canopy oak removal near Castle Heights homes. We handle hazardous tree removal, dead tree removal, and fallen tree removal using controlled lowering and rigging to protect roofs, fences, driveways, and surrounding landscaping. For high-risk or high-canopy work, crane service and bucket truck options are available. A tree risk assessment is included in every on-site estimate so you understand the scope and property protection plan before work begins.
Lebanon's older neighborhoods feature mature canopy that regularly encroaches on utility lines, rooftops, and fence lines. We provide structural pruning, crown reduction, crown raising, and canopy thinning to improve clearance and long-term tree health. Power line clearance and roof clearance are common requests along Hartsville Pike and the West Main Street corridor. Limb removal is performed with structure in mind so trees don't develop poor branch attachments that create storm risk later. HOA tree maintenance – including documentation for Beckwith Farms, Sunset Hills, and Hamilton Hills communities – is part of our routine residential tree service work.
After a tree removal in Lebanon – whether it was a large oak in Castle Heights or a dead cedar on a rural Wilson County parcel – the stump is often the next problem. Stump grinding removes the visible stump and grinds roots below grade, reclaiming yard space and eliminating trip hazards. We outline depth, access, and cleanup details in your written estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Stump removal can be quoted as part of the original tree removal or as a standalone service.
Wilson County's position in Middle Tennessee's storm corridor means Lebanon sees spring severe weather, tornado watches, and straight-line wind events along the I-40 corridor that can put trees through roofs, onto fences, and across driveways. Emergency tree service is available 24/7 for urgent hazards – fallen tree removal, hanging limbs, and trees resting on structures. Storm damage cleanup can include limb removal, hazardous tree removal, debris haul-off, and full site cleanup as scoped in your written estimate.
Large or high-risk trees in Lebanon's established neighborhoods sometimes require equipment that ground crews alone cannot safely manage. Crane-assisted removal and bucket truck access allow for precision controlled lowering in tight spaces – near the Lebanon Public Square, along Coles Ferry Pike, or in back-access residential lots where conventional rigging isn't enough. Equipment selection and jobsite safety planning are discussed during your on-site assessment.
Lebanon's growth along the US-70 and I-40 corridors brings steady demand for lot clearing, land clearing, and brush clearing on rural and semi-rural parcels throughout Wilson County. Whether you're prepping acreage for new construction near Lebanon's expanding subdivisions, reclaiming a fence line along Hartsville Pike, or clearing an overgrown field on rural property, Smith Works handles debris removal and haul-away as part of the project scope – outlined clearly in your written quote before work begins.
Professional arborist standards and safety-first planning on every job in Lebanon and Wilson County.
Every Lebanon job starts with target evaluation, lean analysis, and hazard review. Jobsite safety depends on decisions made before the first cut – proper rigging, controlled lowering, and equipment staging protect your property and the crew throughout the work.
Smith Works carries $2 million in liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. This protects Lebanon property owners from financial risk when hiring crews for complex tree removals, crane service, or emergency storm response on mature-canopy properties.
Tree health evaluation and tree risk assessment are part of every on-site visit. Our Professional Arborist can evaluate declining cedars, assess storm-damaged oaks, and give practical guidance on what to trim, what to monitor, and what to remove – so Lebanon homeowners make informed decisions without unnecessary costs.
Cleanup and haul-away scope is spelled out in your written estimate – covering logs, brush, and debris removal so your Lebanon property is left neat and usable. Debris management protects driveways, lawns, and landscaping throughout the work, not just at the end.
Every engagement starts with a free on-site estimate and a written quote that defines the scope – tree removal cost, tree trimming cost, stump grinding, debris removal, and haul-away – before any work begins. Upfront pricing means Lebanon homeowners know exactly what they're agreeing to.
From single-family homes in Castle Heights to commercial tree service for businesses along Baddour Parkway and US-70, Smith Works handles the full range. HOA tree maintenance – including documentation for HOA approval processes in Lebanon's planned communities – is part of our routine residential and commercial work.

Smith Works serves homeowners and property managers throughout Lebanon and Wilson County – including Castle Heights, the West Main Street area, the historic Lebanon Public Square and downtown district, the Cumberland University campus vicinity, Hartsville Pike, Coles Ferry Pike, Baddour Parkway, the Wilson County Fairgrounds area, and the US-70 / Andrew Jackson Highway and I-40 corridors. Lebanon's mix of historic homes on large mature lots and newer planned communities means tree work here ranges from structural pruning on century-old oaks to land clearing for new construction.
Wilson County sits in Middle Tennessee's active weather belt. Spring severe weather brings tornado watches and straight-line wind events that can fell large trees onto homes and driveways with little warning – particularly in established neighborhoods where mature canopy has grown close to structures over decades. Smith Works offers 24/7 emergency tree service for storm response throughout Lebanon and rural Wilson County, and we're available for same-week scheduling on non-emergency work when slots allow.
Quick answers to common questions from Lebanon and Wilson County property owners.
Lebanon's city brush collection handles limited curbside material on scheduled pickup days, but it does not cover whole trees, large root balls, or commercial-scale debris. After significant storm damage or a full tree removal, professional haul-off is the reliable option. Smith Works outlines debris removal scope in every written estimate so you know exactly what leaves with the crew.
Yes. Lebanon earned its historic nickname "Cedar City" because eastern red cedars are native throughout Wilson County. They are relatively low-maintenance when healthy, but dead eastern red cedars become brittle quickly and can drop limbs onto roofs, fences, and driveways with little warning. Dead cedar removal is one of the more common calls we receive in Lebanon and rural Wilson County.
Castle Heights is Lebanon's most established neighborhood and features some of the largest mature oaks, maples, and cedars in the city. The West Main Street area and the historic downtown blocks near Lebanon Public Square also have significant older canopy. Homes along Hartsville Pike and Coles Ferry Pike tend to have mature roadside trees that require clearance and structural pruning.
Many planned communities in Lebanon – including areas like Beckwith Farms, Sunset Hills, Hamilton Hills, and Legacy Pointe – have HOA covenants that govern canopy work. Requirements vary by association: some require written approval before removal, others specify approved contractors or mandate replanting. Smith Works can document the work scope with a written estimate that satisfies most HOA approval processes.
Call 615-782-9966 as soon as it is safe to do so. For fallen trees on structures, we prioritize emergency tree service and can often reach you the same day. Do not attempt to move a tree resting on a fence, vehicle, or roof without professional assessment – weight distribution and tension in broken wood can shift unexpectedly. We will assess the situation, provide a written estimate, and handle controlled removal with proper rigging.
Tree removal cost in Lebanon depends on tree size, species, location relative to structures, access for equipment, and whether stump grinding is included. Small removals can run a few hundred dollars; large or hazardous trees near structures typically cost more due to rigging, controlled lowering, or crane service requirements. Smith Works provides a free on-site estimate with upfront pricing so you have a clear written quote before any work begins.
