About the Service

Tree & Stump Removal, Done Right

When a tree has to go for a build, a pool or a fence line, we handle the removal and the stump so the area is ready to grade. Excavators pull stumps whole in open areas, and stump grinders work near buildings, lawns and utilities.

We fill the holes, regrade and seed, so you are not left with a hole in your yard and a pile of chips. We also help you decide whether to keep or remove a tree that is in the way.

Music City Excavation brings tree & stump removal to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Tree & Stump Removal

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Grinding or pulling: which is better?

Grinding is gentler on lawns and works near buildings. Pulling takes the roots too and is better in open areas or where you need soil removed. We recommend what suits your site.

Can you remove a tree near my house?

Often yes, with sectional removal and careful rigging. We look at the tree, the house and the lines before we recommend a plan.

Will you fill the hole?

Yes. Filling and grading is part of the job, with seed or sod if you want it.
