Pricing varies slightly by city. Higher-income suburbs like Brentwood and Franklin tend toward the top of the range because of larger homes and longer driveway access. Lebanon and Gallatin tend toward the bottom. Click your city below for a local quote.
When people call us for this
- Mature oak or maple with codominant stems (V-shaped split near base)
- Old shade tree showing crotch cracking under storm load
- Sentimental or heritage tree the homeowner wants to preserve
- Tree with previous storm damage that is structurally weakened
- Large tree over driveway, patio, or structure that is worth preserving
Cabling and bracing installations are best scheduled in late winter or early spring before leaf-out, when canopy structure is fully visible and the dormant season minimizes tree stress. We also see urgency spikes immediately after storms when homeowners discover codominant stems that cracked under wind load. Annual hardware inspection is recommended each spring.
What we offer
- - ISA-certified arborist assessment before installation
- - high-strength steel or synthetic cable installation
- - threaded rod bracing for split crotch
- - annual inspection plan to check hardware tension
- - written assessment of risk reduction achieved
What we cannot handle
- - cabling as a permanent solution for trees that are beyond structural repair (we will tell you honestly if removal is the better call)

Yes. Our arborists hold ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certification. The ISA-certified arborist who scopes your job is the same person accountable for how it gets done - not a call center estimator handing off to a separate crew.
What if my job is larger or more complex than described?+
The written on-site quote accounts for full job complexity - crane requirements, structure proximity, stump disposal, and debris removal are all scoped on the visit. The number we give you is the number you pay. No per-hour overages, no surprise line items after the crew arrives.
