Tree Climber

$24-32/hr based on experience and certificationsFull-time

We're looking for climbers who take pride in their work and want to develop real expertise in arboriculture. You'll work on everything from emergency storm cleanup to detailed pruning and removals across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. This role demands focus, strength, and a genuine interest in learning tree biology and safety protocols. If you're comfortable working at heights, want mentorship from a Board Certified Master Arborist, and believe cleanup and precision matter just as much as the cutting, we want to meet you.

Work directly with a Board Certified Master Arborist who invests in your development
Emergency calls mean overtime pay and the chance to help when people really need us
We provide all climbing gear and safety equipment, plus ongoing training
Health insurance options after 90 days
Flexible scheduling around certifications like Certified Arborist exams
Steady work across 12 counties in Middle Tennessee, not seasonal hustling

From the Owner

I'm Keenan, and I started GreenRoots because Middle Tennessee deserves arborists who actually know their stuff. After years climbing trees and studying the craft formally, I realized most tree companies around Nashville cut corners or don't understand tree health the way they should. We built this team to do things right, whether it's emergency storm cleanup at 2 AM or carefully preserving a heritage oak. Working here means you're part of something where expertise matters, customers become friends, and we take pride in leaving yards better than we found them. If you love trees and want to work somewhere that respects the skill involved, let's talk.

Our Values

Expertise Over Speed
We're Board Certified because we study trees the way doctors study medicine, not because it looks good on a website.
Show Up Like You Own It
Two-hour response times during ice storms and same-day callbacks aren't marketing, they're just how we operate.
Leave No Mess Behind
Cleanup is part of the job, and we measure success by whether customers want to call us back.
Know Your Craft
Whether you're climbing, cutting, or diagnosing, we expect you to learn the details that separate good work from great work.

What Our Team Says

Their expertise truly showed. Thanks to their thoroughfall and precise work, our elm trees came through the freeze in great shape. It's clear they really know their craft.

Cliff Jones
Customer with us

Keenan helped us identify a tree that was a risk, took it down, and even hauled it off. We're definitely going to recommend him and use him again.

Gabriel Thompson
Customer with us

After other tree services wouldn't help, GreenRoots got my cat down from a tree. His confidence in his climbing ability and patience was amazing. I cannot thank him enough.
