Nashville Has Faced Back-to-Back Storms. Is Your Property Safe?

Middle Tennessee has always dealt with severe weather, but the past year has been a reminder of just how much damage storms can do to trees and the properties beneath them. Winter Storm Fern hit Nashville in late January 2026 and left a historic level of destruction across the area. Century-old trees came down under the weight of ice, thousands of homes lost power, and neighborhoods across Davidson County were left dealing with fallen limbs, split trunks, and damaged trees that are still being assessed weeks later.

The concern now for many Nashville homeowners is not just the trees that came down. It is the ones still standing that took a hard hit and may not be structurally sound. A tree that survived the storm with cracked limbs, a shifted root system, or internal damage can be just as dangerous as one that already fell. If you have not had your trees looked at since the storm came through, it is worth doing before the next round of severe weather arrives.

Warning Signs

Don't Ignore These Warning Signs After a Nashville Storm

A tree that is still standing after a storm is not necessarily a safe one. These are the signs that a tree on your property needs to be looked at by a professional before the next round of severe weather rolls through Middle Tennessee.

  • Cracked or split limbs that are still attached but hanging or under tension
    Large branches that are broken but caught in the canopy above, sometimes called widow makers
  • A leaning trunk that was not leaning before the storm
  • Exposed or lifted roots on one side of the tree indicating root system damage
  • Bark that has been stripped or torn along the trunk or major limbs
  • A hollow or soft spot at the base of the tree that has gotten worse after the storm
  • Limbs or debris hanging over your roof, driveway, or power lines that could come down without warning

If you are seeing any of these on a tree in your yard, do not wait. A damaged tree can fail quickly and without much notice, especially if another storm is on the way. Reach out and we will come take a look.

Does Insurance Cover Storm Damage Tree Removal in Nashville?

It depends on the specifics of your situation and your policy, but in many cases homeowners insurance does cover storm damage tree removal, particularly when a tree has fallen on a structure such as your home, fence, or other covered property. When a tree falls in an open area of your yard without damaging a structure, coverage is less straightforward and varies by policy.

Here are a few things worth knowing as you navigate the process:

  • Document everything before cleanup begins. Take photos and video of the fallen tree, any damage to structures, and the surrounding area from multiple angles before any work starts.
  • Contact your insurance provider early. Let them know what happened and ask specifically what your policy covers for storm-related tree removal and property damage.
  • Get a written estimate. We provide written estimates for all storm damage work, which your insurance company will typically require as part of the claims process.
  • Metro Nashville does not clear debris on private property. City crews handle public right-of-way cleanup after storms like Winter Storm Fern, but anything on your private property is your responsibility to arrange separately.

 

We work with Nashville homeowners through the documentation and removal process regularly and are happy to answer questions about what we typically see covered when you reach out for your estimate.

Nashville FAQs

Storm Damage Tree Removal

How fast can you respond to storm damage in Nashville?
We aim to be on your property within one to two hours after the storm clears and conditions are safe enough to work. We answer calls and texts around the clock, so you are never waiting on a voicemail or a callback the next morning. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get to you.
In many cases yes, particularly when a tree has fallen on a covered structure like your home, fence, or garage. Coverage for trees that fell in an open area without hitting a structure varies by policy. Document everything with photos before cleanup begins, contact your insurance provider early, and ask us for a written estimate, which most insurers will require as part of the claims process.
In most cases no, and we would strongly caution against it. Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable. A trunk under tension, a partially attached limb, or a root system that has shifted can behave in ways that are difficult to anticipate without experience and the right equipment. The risk of serious injury or further property damage is real. It is one of those situations where calling a professional is genuinely the safer and smarter call.
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and get out if there is any structural risk. Do not go back inside until the situation has been assessed. Take photos of the damage from multiple angles before anything is moved or cleaned up. Contact your insurance company to report the damage, and then call us. We will get to you as quickly as possible and handle the removal safely.
If a tree has fallen on or near active power lines, the first call should be to Nashville Electric Service to report the outage and have the lines de-energized before any removal work begins. Once the lines are safe, we can move in and remove the tree. We do not work on or around active power lines, and no reputable tree service should.
Emergency tree removal costs more than standard removal due to the urgency, the time of day, and the complexity of the situation. The size of the tree, where it fell, and what equipment is needed to remove it safely all play a role in the final cost. We provide written estimates before work begins so you know what to expect, and we work with homeowners through the insurance documentation process when applicable.
It may be. Cracked limbs, a leaning trunk, stripped bark, lifted roots, or large hanging branches caught in the canopy are all signs that a tree could be structurally compromised even if it is still standing. These trees can fail without much warning, especially if another storm comes through. We offer hazard assessments after storms and will give you an honest evaluation of whether the tree needs to come down or can be safely monitored.
