Picture this: dark skies roll in over Murfreesboro. A strong gust hits. You glance out the window—and your eyes lock on that massive oak limb hanging over your driveway. You meant to do something about it, but life got busy. Now it’s too late. That sinking feeling? We’ve seen it too many times. At Stump Eater Tree Service, we help homeowners shift from last-minute panic to storm-season peace of mind. You shouldn’t have to wonder if your trees are strong enough—you should know. That’s where we come in.

Storms in Tennessee Don’t Wait—and Neither Should You

Between high winds, saturated soil, and unpredictable spring storms, Tennessee trees face serious pressure. Without the right care, even healthy-looking trees can snap, split, or uproot. And no—this isn’t something a quick YouTube video or a pair of pruning shears can fix. The truth is, most storm damage isn’t about what you can see. It’s hidden stress in the trunk. It’s weak branch attachments. It’s shallow roots that lose their grip in soaked ground. This is expert-level work. And it’s exactly what we do best.

Why DIY Storm Prep Is a Risk You Don’t Need to Take

We get it. You’re handy. You care about your property. But climbing ladders, using chainsaws, and inspecting towering trees is not a weekend project.

It’s dangerous without the right equipment
It requires experience to spot structural red flags
It often makes things worse if done incorrectly
Storm prep done wrong doesn’t just cost you time—it can cost you thousands in damage, injury, or emergency removals.
