Safe-distance photos make the first call faster.

Why this tool exists
Most storm-tree searches are not pricing questions first. Homeowners need to know whether to stay away, call the utility, document damage, wait for brush pickup, or request tree help. This tool answers that moment and keeps the next step tied to Middle Tennessee conditions.
Storm tree triage FAQ
Can this tool tell me if my tree is safe?
No. It gives a safety-first next step based on common storm-damage situations. A final recommendation requires seeing the tree, nearby targets, access, and any power-line risk.
What should I do if a tree is touching a power line?
Stay away from the tree, the line, and anything touching either one. Call 911 if there is immediate danger, then call the electric utility. A tree crew should not cut until the line risk is cleared.
Should I cut a hanging limb myself?
Avoid it if the limb is large, high, cracked, over a target, or under tension. Storm-damaged limbs can release or kick back unexpectedly. Send a safe-distance photo and ask for a crew review.
Will the city pick up storm limbs in Hendersonville?
Hendersonville has brush pickup rules for resident piles, including size, placement, and commercial-cutting limits. Oversized limbs, root balls, and debris from hired tree work usually need a separate cleanup plan.
