Your Local Tree Crew In Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro has grown fast, and many of its neighborhoods were planted with Bradford pears. They look great in spring but are known for splitting apart as they mature. Removing and replacing failing Bradford pears is one of our most common jobs in Murfreesboro.

The Center Of Tennessee

Murfreesboro is the seat of Rutherford County and sits near the geographic center of Tennessee. It's home to Middle Tennessee State University and the Stones River National Battlefield, where an 1862-63 Civil War battle was fought among cedar thickets. The city has grown fast, so you'll find both old neighborhoods with big oaks and hackberries near downtown and newer subdivisions with young maples, pears and Leyland cypress.

Cedar Glades And Thin Soil

The Murfreesboro area is famous for its cedar glades, open patches of very thin soil over flat limestone bedrock. Eastern red cedar thrives there, and you'll see it in fence rows and yards all over the county. Thin soil over rock is a big deal for tree health. Roots can't go deep, so large trees often have shallow, spreading root systems that are more prone to blowing over in a storm. Stump grinding can also hit rock near the surface, so we check before we start.

Weather, Growth And Common Jobs

Like the rest of Middle Tennessee, Murfreesboro gets hot, humid summers, about 50 inches of rain a year, strong spring thunderstorms and the occasional damaging ice storm. New construction is another factor: when lots are cleared and graded, remaining trees often lose roots and decline a few years later. Removing those trees, clearing cedar from fence lines and trimming trees away from roofs are common jobs in Murfreesboro. We call Tennessee 811 before every stump grinding job.

Cedars, Fence Rows And Overgrowth

Eastern red cedars spread quickly in Murfreesboro's fields and fence rows, and they can take over a property in a few years. They're also highly flammable and can host cedar-apple rust, which spots the leaves of apples and crabapples nearby. Clearing cedar and other overgrowth from fence lines opens up a yard, improves airflow and makes mowing much easier. Winter is a great time.
