Founded in 2020, we bring 10 years of hands-on experience and dependable service to every tree project.

We got our start in the tree-service industry because we enjoy working outdoors, solving difficult problems, and helping people protect their homes and properties. After gaining years of hands-on experience, Seth Rittenberry founded Top Down Tree Service in 2020 to give Cookeville, TN, and surrounding communities a dependable local option for challenging residential and commercial tree work.

Today, we bring 10 years of industry experience to every project. We saw a need for a crew that could respond to emergencies while also handling large and complicated removals around homes, businesses, roofs, vehicles, utilities, landscaping, and other valuable property. That need continues to shape how we approach our work.

Our tree services include tree removal, 24/7 emergency tree service, stump grinding and removal, crane-assisted tree removal, and commercial tree service. Whether a storm has dropped a tree across a driveway or a large tree requires careful removal near a structure, we assess the situation and develop a practical plan before work begins. Our equipment and crane-assisted capabilities allow us to take on difficult projects where control and careful planning matter.

We know tree problems can be stressful, so we focus on making the process straightforward. We explain the proposed work, offer fair pricing, treat each property as carefully as we would our own, and provide thorough cleanup when the job is finished.

As a licensed and insured local business, we are committed to dependable workmanship and personal service. From homeowners facing hazardous trees to property managers and businesses dealing with blocked access or storm damage, our goal is to solve the problem responsibly and help customers get their properties back to normal.
