TN Tree Bros handles leaning tree situations across Thompson's Station, including Tollgate Village, Bridgemore Village, Cherry Grove, and the surrounding Middle TN area. Tree is leaning more than usual or leaning toward a structure. Homeowner needs an arborist to assess whether the lean is stable or progressive. Removal may or may not be the answer. We schedule leaning tree assessments in Thompson's Station within 3-5 business days - photos with your call speed up the diagnosis. Below: what to do in the next 30 minutes, what NOT to do, when to call right now, and what the work typically costs in Thompson's Station.
Call us right now if any of this is true
- tree is leaning AND you can see soil upheaval or root exposure at the base (active root failure)
- lean appeared suddenly after a storm or saturated-soil event
- tree is leaning toward a structure within its potential fall distance (height of tree)
- cracks are visible in the trunk above the base in the direction of lean
What NOT to do before the crew arrives
- Xdo not try to push or pull a leaning tree to test stability - that can trigger failure
- Xdo not assume a long-standing lean is safe - rate of change matters more than total angle
- Xdo not attach cables or tow straps to redirect the lean yourself - that is rigging work for trained crews
- Xdo not delay assessment if soil upheaval is visible - active root failure can progress to full uprooting within days

What does insurance cover?
Coverage varies by problem type and policy. This is the typical pattern for TN homeowner policies - your specific policy may differ. We provide adjuster-ready documentation either way.
| Problem type | Removal covered? | Repair of structure covered? | Coverage exclusion risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Storm Damage Tree Removal | Usually yes when a tree hit a covered structure | Yes, subject to deductible | Not if you knew the tree was dead or diseased pre-storm |
| Fallen Tree Removal | Yes if it hit a structure. No if it fell in the yard alone. | Yes if the structure was insured | Not if the tree was a known hazard pre-fall |
| Dead Tree Removal | No - preventative removal is homeowner expense | N/A (preventative) | If a known dead tree later falls, claim may be denied |
| Diseased Tree Removal | No - homeowner pays for diseased-tree removal | N/A (preventative) | Documented disease before a failure can void coverage |
| Leaning Tree Removal | No - preventative removal is homeowner expense | N/A (preventative) | Documented lean before a fall can void coverage |
General guidance only - not legal or insurance advice. Call your carrier to confirm your specific coverage.
Secondary damage we commonly see
- lawn and landscaping damage from progressive root upheaval
- fence and hardscape damage when lean increases
- structural risk to nearby structures if uprooting occurs
- damage to nearby trees if the leaning tree falls into adjacent canopy

Will my homeowner insurance cover leaning tree removal in Thompson's Station?+
Insurance does not cover preventative removal of a leaning tree. If the tree later falls and causes damage, coverage may apply to the damage but generally not to the removal of the failed tree. Document the lean with dated photos in case a claim is filed later.
What should I do in the next 30 minutes before the crew arrives?+
Take photos of the tree from multiple angles, especially showing the base, root flare, and direction of lean. Look for soil cracking or upheaval at the base on the side opposite the lean. Mark the current lean position so any progression can be tracked. If you can safely do so, take photos from multiple angles. Do not approach the tree if it is in contact with power lines or is under tension. Stay clear of any fall zone.
