Tree Trimming & Topping FAQs
Why are my tree branches hanging over my roof?
Trees naturally grow outward and upward over time. Without regular trimming, branches can extend over structures, creating safety risks and potential damage.
Is it bad if my tree looks uneven or lopsided?
Yes, uneven growth can indicate structural imbalance, which increases the risk of falling limbs. Professional trimming helps restore proper shape and stability.
What does tree topping do, and is it safe?
Tree topping reduces height and controls growth, but it must be done carefully. Improper topping can harm the tree, which is why professional service is essential.
How often should I trim my trees in Tennessee?
Most trees benefit from trimming every 2–3 years, but fast-growing or problem trees may need more frequent maintenance depending on their condition and location.

Josh Martin is fantastic! Large tree fell through our roof and he was out here in no time! Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This was a tough job and he was so quick and efficient. Will definitely recommend him to everyone I know and I need him to take down 2 or 3 more trees in our yard. Cannot thank him enough...

Josh Martin came and bid on taking down a massive Bradford Pear tree close to my house. His bid was fair and he was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. I recommend Josh for all your arbor needs.

Heidi Braunhardt
Josh was recommended to us by our handyman after we had tree damage from a big storm. He was able to come out to our house the same day, and his quote was much more reasonable than one we received from another local company the day before. Josh made thoughtful recommendations that we felt comfortable with and sent over a detailed quote within a few hours. We’re looking forward to getting the work done next week. Thanks, Josh!
