Tree Removal in Nashville, NC
Nashville, the Nash County seat, sits just up US-64 from Rocky Mount. The town has been a Tree City USA every year since 2019. When a tree on your property needs to come down, the town’s limb pickup only goes so far, so here’s what to expect.
What the town will and won’t haul
Nashville picks up yard waste every other week, but limbs have to be cut to 4 feet long and no more than 5 inches across, and there’s a size limit on the pile. The town doesn’t collect land-clearing debris, stumps, or whole trees. Those have to go to a Nash County convenience center or the landfill.
That’s why haul-away matters on a removal here. Ask for it to be included in your estimate so the job is finished when the crew leaves.
Storms in Nash County
On July 19, 2023, an EF3 tornado touched down in Dortches in Nash County and tracked toward Rocky Mount, downing trees and power lines along the way. Most homeowners never see a storm like that, but dead trees and heavy limbs over the house are the first things to fail in any strong wind.
If a tree or limb is on a power line, report it to Duke Energy Progress and stay clear until the line is safe.
