Our Story

Walt Pritchard started Cumberland Tree & Crane after 12 years climbing for a regional tree service — frustrated by crews that left yards trashed and homeowners stuck arguing with adjusters. He built Cumberland around two principles: an ISA Certified Arborist on every job for the structural call, and a documentation package the insurance company actually accepts. Eighteen years later, Cumberland is on the carrier short-list across Middle Tennessee.

How We Operate

Four Things We Never Compromise On

ISA Arborist On Every Job

A certified arborist makes the structural call before a single cut — not a salesperson with a chainsaw.

Crane Over Climb When It Counts

We invested in the equipment so we can lift trees out of tight lots — instead of dropping them and praying.

Insurance Paperwork Done Right

Photos, scope, ISA hazard letter, and itemized invoice. Adjusters approve our packages without a fight.

Cleanup Is Not Optional

Yard raked, chips hauled or stacked as you want, stump ground below grade. We leave it cleaner than we found it.

The Crew

Meet the Team

Every tech on our crew is licensed, background-checked, and trained personally by Walt Pritchard. No subcontractors. No apprentices sent alone.
