Tree Removal in Knoxville, TN
Dead, dying, leaning or just in the way — we remove trees of any size safely, with precision rigging and cleanup so complete you'll forget the tree was there.
The right way to take down a tree
A large tree near a house isn't felled — it's dismantled. Our climbers rope and lower it in controlled sections, piece by piece, so nothing ever free-falls near your roof, fence, or landscaping.
- Any size, any location — backyard ornamentals to 100-ft pines over the roofline, including crane-assisted removals.
- Licensed arborists on every job — we assess health, lean, decay and load before a single cut.
- Modern equipment — cranes, bucket trucks, chippers and stump grinders maintained daily.
- Complete cleanup included — wood hauled or bucked to firewood length, debris chipped, lawn raked.
- One written price — the estimate is the invoice. Always.

Tree removal questions
In Knoxville, most removals run $400–$2,500. Small ornamentals sit at the low end; large hardwoods over structures, or removals needing a crane, sit higher. Your free estimate gives you one exact written number.
Yes — that's most of what we do. Trees near structures come down in roped sections, never felled whole. For trees contacting utility lines, we coordinate with KUB before work begins.
Full haul-away is included in every quote. Prefer to keep firewood? We'll buck the trunk to length and stack it where you want it — just say so at the estimate.
Stump grinding is quoted as a line item so you only pay for it if you want it. Bundling removal + grinding on the same visit is the cheapest way to do both.
When should a Knoxville tree come down?
East Tennessee's mix of clay soil, summer storms and aging oaks, maples and pines means hazardous trees are common in Knox County yards. Warning signs worth a professional look: mushrooms or fungus at the base, large dead limbs ("widow-makers"), a new or increasing lean, cracks in the trunk, or roots lifting on one side after heavy rain.
Removing a hazardous tree before a storm does it for you is almost always cheaper — an emergency removal off a roof can cost several times a planned one, before you count the roof repair. If you're unsure whether your tree needs removal or just pruning, our arborists will tell you honestly at your free estimate. Roughly a third of the "removals" we're called for end up being trims.
