Responding to the Emergency Tree Service Call
After an intense wind storm in Green Hills, TN, a massive oak tree fell onto a local’s home, causing damage to their roof.
The exposed root ball tore a wide section of lawn out of the ground and left a deep cavity. The trunk lay across the yard and made direct contact with the roofline. The weight of the tree pressed against the roof and created visible damage to the porch and fascia.
Because it was spring, the homeowner expected more storms to arrive shortly and wanted to schedule hazardous tree removal so repairs could start. Franklin Tree Service arrived ready for storm damage cleanup and tree removal.

How Franklin Tree Service Removed the Large Oak From the Homeowner’s Roof and Repaired the Yard
Franklin Tree Service started by stabilizing the oak where it rested against the roof to prevent further movement. The crew used a spider lift to access elevated sections and carefully sectioned the tree into manageable pieces. They lowered each cut with controlled rigging to protect the home, porch, and surrounding lawn.
After removing the remaining trunk from the roofline, the team addressed the exposed root ball and damaged area in the yard. Before they left, they made sure to leave the area clear and ready for repair crews to come in and begin restoring the damaged roof and porch.
