CONSUMER ALERT: Cross Cut Tree Service

Cross Cut Tree Service is being sanctioned by the Better Business Bureau of Middle Tennessee, the Department of Public Works, and the Metro Police Department. Two misdemeanor arrest warrants have been issued for company co-owners Mark Campbell and Frank Cross for littering and obstruction of a roadway.

In early September, cameras discovered a massive brush pile in northern Davidson County. Residents say Cross Cut Tree Service left the debris roadside for Metro Public Works to clean up.

When questioned about it, officials with Cross Cut said they left the pile because the homeowners wanted a price break on the job, and disposing of the debris costs more money. Eventually, Cross Cut cleaned up the pile, but now the company is facing more problems for allegedly dumping another load of logs on a street in East Nashville.

At the corner of Douglas and North Sixth, cameras discovered a pile of logs and brush blocking part of a public street and a nearby culvert.

UPDATE 1:16p.m. – when you Google Cross Cut Tree Service, this report appears right under the tree service’s website. You can also read the Better Business Bureau of Middle Tennessee reliability report. Satellite views of both addresses listed (Greenbrier | Nashville) for the businesses show residential homes. A call made to one of the phone numbers listed got me in touch with a woman identifying herself as “the wife of the tree cutting service” who said they are trying to shut the business down.
