Approximate locations · Based in Maryville, TN
Knoxville has some of the biggest shade trees in East Tennessee. The older neighborhoods have oaks, tulip poplars, and maples planted along streets and in yards generations ago. That canopy is a big part of what makes those neighborhoods what they are, and it also means large trees growing close to older houses, detached garages, and overhead lines.
We come up from Maryville for Knoxville jobs. South and West Knoxville are the quickest trips, by Alcoa Highway and Pellissippi Parkway, and we cover the rest of the city too.

Big removals and big stump jobs are worth an in-person look. For smaller jobs, photos are usually enough to price it.
Local conditions
What Knoxville properties usually have going on
- Very large, very old trees
- Oaks, poplars, and maples in the established neighborhoods can be enormous. Taking one down near a house can be a heavy-rigging or crane job, and it needs a careful plan.
- Tight city lots
- Narrow driveways, alleys, detached garages, and fences all close together. Every piece of wood has to go somewhere.
- Street trees and the right-of-way
- Trees between the sidewalk and the street, or otherwise in the public right-of-way, may belong to the city. Check before planning a removal.
- Wooded lots on ridges
- South Knoxville and parts of West Knoxville have steep, wooded lots where the trees grow on the slope above the house.
- Newer subdivisions
- Farther west, the usual trouble is fast-growing trees planted too close to the house and pines along the lot line.

Storms
Storm cleanup in Knoxville
With a canopy this big, a strong storm brings down a lot of wood at once, and every tree crew in the area gets busy together. We'll tell you honestly how long the wait is.
If a tree is on a power line, call KUB first. Stay away from the line and keep others away. Tree work can start once the line is safe.
Access
Getting to the tree
Plenty of Knoxville neighborhoods have narrow streets, street parking, and alley access. Where the truck and trailer can park gets worked out before the work day.
Some historic and neighborhood conservation overlays have rules that affect trees and landscaping. If your house is in one, check with the city before a removal.
Questions
Knoxville questions
Do you work all over Knoxville?
Yes. South and West Knoxville are closest to our Maryville base, but we take work across the city.
My tree is huge and right next to the house. Can it come down?
Usually. Depending on the tree, access, and what's around it, that can mean sectional cutting, rigging, or a crane. The estimate will explain how it would be done and what it costs.
Do I need permission to remove a tree in Knoxville?
For most trees on private residential property, no. Trees in the public right-of-way, in some historic or conservation overlays, or protected under a development plan can be different. If you're not sure, check with the City of Knoxville first.
