Since 2008
About Clean Cut Charlie
Clean Cut Charlie Tree Service has been locally owned and family operated out of Clarksville, Tennessee since 2008. Charlie owns the business and runs the crew himself. Customers who leave reviews name him personally, not a call centre or a rotating list of technicians, because he's the one who comes out to look at the tree and the one who's still there when it comes down.
Why the equipment matters
A lot of tree crews own a chainsaw, a chipper and a pickup truck. Clean Cut Charlie also runs a crane, a tracked spider lift and high reach bucket equipment, which changes what a homeowner can actually ask for. A spider lift fits through a garden gate and spreads its weight on tracks, so it can get to a tree in a fenced back yard without tearing up the lawn the way a wheeled boom truck would. Where even that can't reach, the crane picks a tree apart over a roofline a section at a time instead of dropping it toward the house. On the ground, the rigging and cutting gear is New Holland, Brandit, Stihl, Petzl and Timberline, the brands the crew names as what they actually run every day.
For a business this size to own that equipment outright, rather than sub the hard jobs out to whoever has a crane free that week, means the same crew that gives the estimate is the one operating the machine on the day, and the schedule doesn't depend on hiring in specialty access for a difficult tree.
Storm damage and insurance claims
Clean Cut Charlie has worked hundreds of emergency tree removals off houses, structures, fences and vehicles as insurance claims over the years. The crew photographs the damage before anything is moved, so the claim has what it needs, and doesn't ask for a deposit or a signed contract to get started. That last part comes up again and again in the business's own reviews, from people who'd dealt with other companies wanting money up front before they'd even seen the job.
One customer wrote on the business's reviews page about posting in a local community group after a dead tree near her home became a hazard, worried about the cost given her situation at the time. Charlie worked out a payment arrangement with her, took the tree down, and then hauled the cut wood to the back of her property at no extra charge, even after she'd told him not to bother.
Discounts and how to pay
Military and veteran discounts are offered, mention it when you call. Clean Cut Charlie takes American Express, Cash, Check, Discover, MasterCard and Visa, financing is available, and insurance-claim jobs are handled directly with the carrier.

In their own words
“I'd give Charlie 6 stars if I could. The whole team was professional and safety minded. They worked quickly and efficiently to remove multiple trees and old landscaping from my property. Charlie went above and beyond to protect my house throughout the process. He was honest and fair with his pricing and transparent about his scope of work. They also have all of the right equipment for the job. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs their services.”
