“If you're in the Nashville area and looking for trimming/removal of trees in tricky/tight spaces, look no further! I normally don't write reviews, but I had such a positive experience with Chop that I wanted to post one, as it would have been helpful in my search.

There were a few trees around my house that were a bit of a nuisance and were too large and close to structures for me to safely remove. I reached out to Chop Nashville and JonEric was over within a week for a consult. JonEric was highly knowledgeable about the trees and best methods for removal, and speaking with him put my mind at ease that the work would be done safely and effectively. After the initial meeting, Chop worked with me to decide which work would be most impactful for our enjoyment of the space as well as the overall well-being of the property, while staying within my budget.

Once I accepted the quote through their online portal, Chop had a team out to my house within a week. My particular job involved the removal and stump grinding of four trees near my house/carport, as well as trimming a large hackberry which was hanging over the house. The team arrived promptly at 8:15am, and I could immediately tell that this is a professional operation. All team members were outfitted with appropriate PPE, and the equipment (crane, chipper) that they brought with them was impressive and fun to watch in action. I mention this because one of my major concerns with removing trees so close to my neighbor's house is that something would go wrong and damage property, I had no such worries with Chop on the job. By around lunch time, the team had removed/trimmed the trees and chipped the waste.

By the time the team left, it was impossible to tell that the trees had ever even been there (all debris gone, no marks from heavy equipment on property). Overall, Chop Nashville was competitively priced, offered excellent service, and was a pleasure to deal with.”
“I was immediately impressed with Chop's professionalism and service. I needed work done on a home in Nashville and had been frustrated over and over again by unresponsive contractors, broken promises, and general professional incompetence. When I reached out to Chop, I heard back within an hour, had a quote in hand by the afternoon, and my tree was taken care of the next morning. If you need tree work done in Nashville, these are your guys!”
“The Chop team is wonderful! From the consultation, to scheduling the work, to wrapping up the job, the experience was top-notch. While their prices are not the cheapest, they are reasonable and it is worth the quality work. I can’t say enough positive things about them!”
“Bravo Chop Nashville!! Incredible job. Knowledgeable, detailed and professional. Highly recommend for all your tree needs and especially older growth trees.”
“We were nervous first-timers about hiring a tree service. Chop Nashville was great. Timely estimate and service. Excellent work. Friendly, professional team. Highly recommend. We'll definitely use them again.”
“Friendly and knowledgeable crew... managed to take out a broken tree, split down the middle, hung up on a neighbor's tree directly over their fence. That they got it removed without destroying that fence was amazing. Well played, gents.”
“If you have a big tree that has to go because of construction or whatever, call these people. They are committed to “repurpose” trees whenever possible. Your tree may end up in a church or in a bar as a table. They know their business, they are scrupulously fair and trustworthy.”
“Chop Nashville removed 10 trees from my yard. The trees were in difficult positions, but the Chop team managed to bring all of them down without damage to my evergreens that were planted right underneath the split and diseased maples and hackberries. Very Impressive! Also, out of all the tree services I contacted seeking quotes, Chop Nashville was the most responsive. I would say this is the most professional tree service in the Nashville metro area - Highly Recommend!!”
“They were easy to work with and very professional. They have a heart for conservation and not wasting any tree. I would highly recommend.”
“Unreal service and professionalism. Crew came in and worked hard and cleaned up the mess! Will use them again and refer them to others. Highly recommend Chop Nashville!”
“Chop was quick to come by and give us a quote. We had a tree that fell and was leaning into 2 other trees. During removal, they were careful to make sure the other trees were not damaged. I would recommend them and we will use them again.”
“Great company, and some of the most professional tree trimming people we have ever worked with. We are happy repeat customers. :)”
“GREAT experience. The Chop team was on time, professional, engaging, and efficient.”
“These guys did a great job! Professional and quick. Highly recommended.”
“They are the best!”
“Very professional and friendly crew. Completed everything that was quoted and our big tree out front looks fantastic!”
“Of the three tree services I got estimates from, they were by far the best. They were the most professional, quoted the best price and did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to someone.”
“I called Chop to remove a large downed tree in my yard and couldn't have been more thrilled with them. From the quoting process, professionalism of the entire team, the quick removal and debris clean up - everything was a wonderful experience. If I ever need tree service again, Chop will be the only number I call! Highly recommended.”
“Chop is a great company to work with, they won't always be the cheapest bid you get but you will never have to worry about the work not being done correctly, on time, or professionally. I recommend them to everyone I know.”
“The Chop Nashville crew offer reasonable rates and prompt, efficient professional service. They went above and beyond to get my job done, working around some unforeseen circumstances with grace and good cheer. I highly recommend!”
“I called Chop to remove a large cedar tree, transplant another tree, and to take care of some trimming and cabling. They were fast, efficient, and very professional. All the guys were friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to call on Chop again!”
“I've used them twice at 2 locations over 3 years for 5 different trees. They had a fair price that beat another quote by 30%. They showed up on time and did the job right. On one job they even chopped and stacked some of dead tree as firewood. Great guys, I'll only use them in the future.”
“Chop removed a 60-year-old pinnacle oak from our backyard without removing our fence. They quoted a reasonable price and completed the work quickly. We really miss the tree, but I'm glad we hired Chop!”
“The guys from Chop did a fantastic job. They arrived right on time and were done very quickly. And did the job for less than multiple other quotes from other companies. I would recommend them to everyone in Nashville!”
“Laura and I were very satisfied with the professionalism, friendliness, and the pride they showed in their work. Drew and the crew of six made a tight team. We highly recommend Chop Nashville! 👍”
“Absolutely professional staff who did an amazing job removing a tree that threatened my home. After grinding the stump you can hardly tell the tree was ever there. Would recommend to anyone.”
“I had a great experience working with Chop! They came out quickly to take a look at the trees I needed taken down. An estimate was later emailed with a breakdown of all the costs. Photos with diagrams were included, which I thought was great. They arrived at my house right on time and promptly started working. The guys were all personable and nice. They seem to really enjoy working with one another. I am now the proud owner of a house with two less huge hackberries. One was splitting, and with the storms we have every two weeks, it’s been nice to not worry about a limb crashing down on the garage. Thanks for your hard work!”
“Skillful tree trimmer, safety conscious with great tree falling results. Jared safely removed canopy from a 140' Red Oak near my driveway with excellent results.”
“Best price. Nice folks. One hundred percent happy. Thanks so much for helping me out, guys!”
“I highly recommend this company. They came and took my tree out safely and even cleaned up the area. When I called I got a response from Jared the same day and he stayed in communication with me about when his crew would be there. Taylor and Jamie came out to remove the tree and were so nice. Frankly, I thought they did an awesome job.”
“First met these guys the day after the tornado last year in East Nashville. Came to our rescue that day and removed a tree from our house for an incredibly reasonable price. I promised that I'd use them when I needed additional work in the future. Fast forward a year later we had five trees along our driveway that we feared would come down every time a strong storm came through. Once again, Chop came to our rescue and did a beautiful job trimming them back without losing their beauty. Great group of people at every point of the process and I must say it was incredible to watch them work onsite. Can't recommend them enough and find ourselves needing their help again, more trees down in the last storm unfortunately. Not someone I want to have to call on a regular basis but nice to have a trusted company when the need arises. Thanks Chop Nashville!”
“I was very impressed with Chop’s work quality and responsiveness after the tornado hit our yard. Can’t recommend these guys enough. No job too big for them and fairly priced.”
“These guys know what they are doing. I have a 150-year-old white pine in my yard that is forked. I noticed a split in the fork and I was terrified that it would fall on someone. They called me right back (no one else would return my calls), and set up a consultation estimate immediately. It was going to be awhile before they could get to it, so they put a temporary cable in the top to stabilize it. When my time came, they worked for 5 days and put 2 6-foot bolts in the trunk [and] a metal cable in the top to hold it together. They also trimmed a lot of the weight off. It’s ready to go for another 150 years. Thanks, guys — I highly recommend them!”
“Don't love having to lose a big tree but could not have picked a better team to handle the removal! Quickly got out to evaluate the tree [and] deliver a proposal. Once scheduled and onsite the team set up quickly [and] efficiently and worked safely. Plus, who doesn't love a robot chainsaw on a crane?! Pretty fun watching them work. Will definitely hire them again should the need arise.”
“Great company. They were careful, considerate, and made sure everything looked the way we wanted. Super professional group. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Chop Nashville is always fantastic! Highly recommend. Best tree company I’ve worked with.”
“Very knowledgeable about trees, friendly and professional, good communication. Cleaned up job site, improved the appearance of my trees. Highly recommended.”
“I obtained 5 estimates prior to having our trees removed. Chop came in on the lower end and presented just as professionally and knowledgeable as those at the higher price point. They showed up as scheduled, worked overtime to finish in one day, and then cleaned up not just our yard, but all the debris in the cul-de-sac and the neighbor’s sidewalk. I was so pleased that their team fully cleaned up the surrounding area after the job and were mindful of our neighbors as well. Stump grinder came within the next week and our yard is now ready for pool installation. It was a smooth process from start to finish. The owner was on site all day. Matt and JonEric were also just pleasant to deal with - which was just a great bonus. Couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“The entire staff were overly kind [and] considerate!! They wanted to be sure we communicated what we needed done and that they met my needs. :)”
“These guys were awesome – super personal, organized, punctual and thorough. Scott came out for a free quote and spent about an hour talking to me about my options. He obviously wasn’t just making a sale. He was an experienced arborist who cared about the trees. My job had to get moved once due to rain, and they did a great job communicating about the reschedule. On the day of the work, they had very advanced equipment and took amazing care of my grass. I had to have a giant hackberry removed right next to my house, plus some work around/above my boys’ clubhouse. One of the owners (Jared) was there and even threw in a little work for free, just to make everything look great. Very efficient, and they cleaned everything up afterward. I highly recommend Chop!”
“Likely not a more reliable or capable tree service in Nashville. Cheap tree removal is fine unless you're unlucky to experience one of their mistakes, which cheap tree service can't afford to make right. Chop operates a sustainable, mature business that's capable from start to finish no matter the in between.”
“Chop Nashville trimmed two trees in my front yard. Some tree limbs were removed to get them off of my roof and other trimming was performed to preserve the trees for years to come. Jon Eric was very knowledgeable and provided excellent advise on the best way to trim the trees to keep them healthy. The men performing the work (sorry for not remembering your names) were professional and wanted to hear what I had to say. They were willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was satisfied with the job, and when they left the area looked like they had never been there. Thanks to everyone for a great job.”
“Chop workers performed dangerous and delicate tasks, safely and professionally. I would certainly use them again, given the same situation.”
“Chop Nashville has the best team of folks I've worked with in the tree business, and their knowledge of tree health is unmatched.”
“Everything was prompt and professional. Trees look great post pruning and should be in good shape for years to come.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Chop Nashville. JonEric was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us make the best decisions for our property. The crew that did the work were VERY professional, personable and worked extremely hard. I highly recommend Chop Nashville.”
“Chop removed a downed limb and an entire tree that had died and split. They did a great job and cleaned up everything after. We are so thankful for them and the work they do!!”
“Overall service was great. Communication was very helpful, educational, and understanding with the work we wanted done and reasonable and considerate with negotiations. They kept us up to date with when they would be able to complete the job. The quality of the actual work was perfect.”
“Our second time using Chop--they did a great job taking down big trees from an alley and all the fences, powerlines, and garages [were] untouched.”
“Chop did a fantastic job pruning our trees, cutting away the dead branches, and getting the branches away from our roof while maintaining the look snd shape of the trees. And they cleaned up everything and took away the debris when finished. I would highly recommend Chop's services.”
“We are so impressed with this company. There was an urgent situation where we discovered that a very large tree leaning toward our home was splitting and potentially ready to fall. We contacted JonEric late on a Friday afternoon. He came that day and thoughtfully evaluated the risk. He checked the weather forecast and, since strong winds were expected over the weekend, recommended removing it the next day. He was able to assemble an emergency team and they did an expert job. They were obviously experienced and skilled, friendly, and took precautions to protect the lawn and surrounding areas. The emphasis on safety was impressive. Thanks to the whole team.”
“We had Chop Nashville over to take down a Loblolly Pine and two Bradford Pear trees. They were clean, quick, and pushed through a rainy day with a man down to get the job done and even left my yard clean when they could have easily taken less care and left mud and tread marks everywhere. The owner of the company was there the whole day ensuring quality as well as operating the crane himself. 10/10, would absolutely use these guys again.”
“Local team of experts, good prices, great communication!”
“We could not be happier with their service! We had them do a full tree removal of a full-grown Hackberry very close to our house. They quoted us a very reasonable price for all that work, so we booked them. They showed up exactly when they said they were going to, both to give the estimate and to do the work. They did the entire job in just a few hours, in the rain, without ripping up our lawn, and they cleaned up our yard so well that if the tree weren't gone I'd scarcely have known anyone had been there. They were courteous, professional, and knowledgeable, and they were glad to answer all of our questions. We will definitely be using them again for other tree work!”
“I had the Chop fellas to the house for a pretty big job. [About] 6-7 massive trees removed. Two days of solid work. They did an amazing job, I wouldn’t consider anyone else, neither should you. A+ boys.”
“Amazing job, super kind guys, and thorough clean-up. They removed four giant trees and when they left there wasn't a stick on the ground. Wonderful.”
“We cannot recommend Chop Nashville highly enough for their outstanding tree removal services. Our property had a very old, brittle maple tree that had died and was becoming a serious safety hazard. Chop Nashville came to our rescue with their expertise and state-of-the-art equipment. The company's special crane was the star of the show. This robotic crane with chainsaw allowed them to safely and efficiently remove our precarious maple tree without any damage to the surrounding property. Their advanced equipment clearly sets them apart in the industry. JonEric and his entire crew are skilled, knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. The team worked diligently and efficiently, completing the job in less than a day. They not only removed the tree but also ensured a thorough cleanup, leaving our property in pristine condition. In conclusion, if you're looking for a reliable, professional, and well-equipped tree removal service, look no further than Chop Nashville. Their combination of advanced technology, expert staff, and customer-focused approach makes them the go-to choice for any tree removal needs, especially in emergency situations or with trees that may pose a danger to property. Thanks, Chop Nashville!”
“Can’t say enough positive things about these guys. Extremely professional and highly skilled from beginning to end. They did a very tricky job for us and made sure they had their A team to do it. Flawless work. A+.”
“I can't really add anything to the other reviews. Professional, competent, friendly, courteous, diligent, respectful of property. Ryan, Brian, and Chris did an amazing job and were clearly a well-oiled team. They were able to get their incredible machine into our parking area with inches to spare. I've still no idea how Ryan was able to pull that off. The dead 60-foot ash tree was trimmed from the top down, dropped in the driveway, hauled up to the road, and feed into the wood-chipper. After all the trimmage, the lads cleaned up and aside from a few twigs here and there and a bit of sawdust, you wouldn't know they had been there. Very competitive pricing, fantastic equipment which reduced safety issues exponentially, and an amazing crew. The very model of how a service company should operate. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“These guys do great work—from taking down trees to milling them, repurposing them into slabs—they are hard workers!”
“These guys are incredible. Saw them on Instagram and thought they did great work. It really showed when they came and removed a few of my trees. Even my neighbors came up to me and told us how professional they were. Especially with set up. The crew is passionate and takes pride in their work. I won't even consider another company. Oh, they also repurpose a lot of the wood! Highly recommend!”
“Joy to the world! The hackberry trees are gone!!! Chop Nashville were rockstars (headliners, not the opening act)! 1) A prompt, COMPETITIVE quote. 2) Personable, engaging staff. 3) Looked at what would help the other trees around my home, not just at what they were to take down. Everything is better for having them! (Now if they'd just start planting trees, too). ;)”
“The folks at Chop know their stuff and are good at their jobs. That in itself is nice to find, particularly in an industry where there are plenty of competitors who don't have certified arborists on staff. What's even better though, and what sets Chop apart, is that every single person we have interacted with as they have come out to do work has been thoughtful and kind.”
“I had a couple trees that needed to be trimmed. Other companies quoted me almost twice as much, and Chop was able to work within my budget to right size the project. JonEric was very responsive and friendly, and the team doing the work was quick and effective.”
“This is a great company. They were very professional all the way through. Responded to my request right away and came out and gave me a quote very quickly. The quote was very reasonable. I don't pay the crazy prices that all these companies want to charge around here. I had no issue with their price. The work they did was great. My trees look amazing. They didn't just hack away at them. They did what they needed to do to make sure the trees were healthy.”
“The gentleman who came for the quote was so knowledgeable! I had no idea that cutting things incorrectly would be so detrimental to the tree. He had wonderful advice for additional trees I wanted to plant. They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for and honestly...tree trimming is just rather expensive. You'd be wise to use this company for the best guidance on keeping things safe and growing well.”
