Tree Service in Unionville, TN

Unionville is a census-designated place in northern Bedford County with 1,394 residents at the 2020 census spread across about 9.03 square miles. That works out to roughly 154 people per square mile, a fraction of Murfreesboro's density. Tree Service in Unionville reflects the space: homes on larger lots, trees along long driveways and fence rows, and more chances to fell a tree in one piece when there is clear ground to drop it on.

When there is room to fell

On open land, a tree that would have to be climbed and taken down in sections in town can sometimes be felled whole, which is faster and cheaper. That still takes planning: 1. Check the lean, the crown weight and any decay at the base that could make the tree fall off line 2. Clear a fall zone at least as long as the tree is tall, plus a margin 3. Plan escape routes and keep everyone well back 4. Confirm there are no lines, fences or buildings within reach

If any of those checks fail, the tree comes down in pieces.

Fence rows and volunteers

Rural lots around Unionville tend to accumulate volunteer trees along fences and field edges. Left alone, they grow into the wire, shade out grass and eventually fall across the fence in a storm. Clearing them while they are small is far easier than removing a 30-year-old tree that has swallowed the fence.

Driveway trees

Many Unionville homes sit well back from the road on long gravel drives, often lined with trees. Those trees matter more than they look: a limb across the drive after a storm can cut a house off from the road. Raising the canopy so trucks and emergency vehicles clear it, generally around 14 feet over the drive, and removing dead limbs along it are among the most useful jobs on a rural property. If a driveway tree is dying, removing it before it falls also saves the gravel and culverts from damage.

An old community

Unionville was platted in 1827, after two rival settlements merged under the new name, and it has had a post office since 1837. Tennessee governor Jim Nance McCord was born here in 1879. Bedford County runs three public schools in the community, an elementary, a middle and a high school.

Wood and burning

With no city brush service, owners here decide what happens to the wood. We can chip and haul everything, leave chips spread as mulch, or stack firewood. If you plan to burn a brush pile, check BurnSafeTN, where the Tennessee Division of Forestry posts whether a burn permit is currently required, and check local restrictions as well.
