Growth Changed the Tree Picture

Few towns near Murfreesboro have changed faster than Nolensville. The 2020 census counted 13,829 residents, up from 5,861 in 2010, a 135.9% jump, and the 2025 estimate is 15,789. Tree Service in Nolensville therefore covers a lot of young landscapes: trees planted with the house, a few years in the ground, and starting to show which ones were well chosen and well placed. Older trees remain along Mill Creek, on farm remnants and in the historic center.

High-value homes, careful work

Census QuickFacts reports an owner-occupied rate of 93.6% and a median owner-occupied value of $777,800, among the highest anywhere around Murfreesboro. That changes how a job should be run. On these properties we expect:

  • Limbs near roofs and windows lowered on ropes, not dropped
  • Mats or plywood under equipment on finished lawns
  • Irrigation heads, lighting and invisible fencing marked before work
  • Cleanup that leaves beds and turf as they were found

All of that goes into the written estimate so there are no surprises.

Along Mill Creek

Nolensville grew up along Mill Creek, which gives its name to Mill Creek Elementary and Mill Creek Middle schools. The terrain is mostly flat with a few hilly areas. Trees near the creek grow in moist ground and can get large fast; they are also the ones most likely to lean or uproot after long rains.

Young trees, the most important pruning

In a town where so many trees went in during the last fifteen years, the best money spent on tree care is often a small amount, spent early. Structural pruning on a young tree means picking one dominant trunk, removing branches that rub or cross, and spacing out the main limbs so none of them grows from the same spot on the trunk. Done when the tree is 10 to 20 feet tall, it takes a few cuts with hand tools. Skipped, it often turns into cabling, heavy reduction or removal once the tree is big. The ANSI A300 pruning standard, which is the industry's reference for this work, calls for cuts just outside the branch collar and against removing too much live canopy at once.

The historic corridor

Many 19th-century buildings still stand along Nolensville Road, from north of Oldham Drive to York and Williams Road, including the Waller Funeral Home of 1876. The town has a Historic Zoning Commission. If your property is in the historic area, check with the town about any review that applies before major exterior changes such as removing a large tree visible from the road.

Nolensville Questions

Who trims the trees along Nolensville Road?

Public Works maintains the town's rights-of-way and schedules trimming along Nolensville Road in March and April. Trees on your own lot are your responsibility.

Our builder planted a tree four feet from the house. Should it come out?

If it is a species that gets large, probably. It is cheaper and easier to remove or replace it now than once it is pushing against the gutters and foundation. We can suggest a better spot for a replacement.

Do you protect lawns and irrigation during work?

Yes. We ask you to mark irrigation and private lines, use ground protection under equipment where needed, and plan routes so the lawn is not rutted.

How often should young trees in a new subdivision be pruned?

A light structural pruning every two to three years for the first decade is usually plenty. Each visit removes a few problem branches before they become big ones, so the tree never needs drastic cuts.
