Suburban Streets and Country Lots Side by Side

Christiana is a census-designated place of about 8.86 square miles in southern Rutherford County, and Tree Service in Christiana covers two settings at once. The 2020 census counted 4,305 residents, 66% living in urban-classified areas and 34% in rural ones. So one call may be a subdivision yard with two maples and a stump, and the next may be a few acres with a tree line, a ditch full of saplings and a dead oak by the barn.

A community of families

The 2020 census profile is young. The median age was 34.0, and 45.2% of Christiana's 1,448 households had children under 18. For tree work, that tends to bring a particular set of requests: removing trees with dead limbs over a play area, raising the canopy over a backyard so kids and mowers can move under it, and grinding stumps that have become tripping hazards. We plan drop zones and keep the work area closed off while cutting, and we leave the yard raked and clear of small sticks when we leave.

Getting there

U.S. Route 231 and State Route 269 pass through Christiana. Route 269 runs south about 11 miles from U.S. 231 near Christiana to Bell Buckle. A lot of the properties we see out here front on two-lane county roads with ditches and overhead lines, where a tree that falls the wrong way blocks the road. Removals along a road may call for traffic control and careful rigging so limbs come down on the yard side.

Housing with room for trees

The census counted 1,496 housing units, with only 3.2% vacant, at a density of about 486 people per square mile, far lower than Murfreesboro. Lower density usually means bigger yards and more trees per home. Bigger yards also mean longer drags to the chipper, which is one reason we price each property after seeing it rather than quoting a flat per-tree number over the phone.

Common Christiana jobs

Taking down dead or declining trees close to the house, a shed or the road
Clearing volunteer saplings and cedars out of fence rows before they get large
Trimming limbs back from roofs, driveways and the service drop to the house
Grinding stumps after removals or after old storm damage
Chipping brush on site so you are not left hauling it yourself

Storm season

Middle Tennessee's spring storm season brings straight-line winds and tornadoes across this part of the county. Ahead of it, the cheapest fix is usually the dead limb you can see from the porch. After a storm, keep away from any tree touching a line, take photos for insurance, and call us to price the cleanup. We will tell you what has to come down now and what can wait.

Christiana Questions

Can you remove a tree next to a county road with power lines overhead?

Often, yes, but the plan depends on how close the lines are. If limbs are near a primary line, the utility needs to be involved first. For the rest, we rig limbs down so they land on the yard side and keep the road clear.

Is it worth clearing cedars and saplings out of a fence row?

Yes, if you do it while they are small. Volunteer trees in fence rows grow into the wire and get harder and more expensive to remove every year. Cutting and grinding or treating stumps keeps them from coming back.

Why won't you quote a price over the phone?

Because the same tree can be a quick job in an open yard or a slow one behind a fence with a long drag to the chipper. We give free on-site estimates and put the price in writing.

Do you grind stumps in subdivision yards with irrigation and invisible fences?

Yes. Mark sprinkler heads, invisible dog fence wire and any lighting before we arrive. We call 811 to have public utility lines marked, but private lines like those are only located if you show us where they run.
