Approximate locations · Based in Maryville, TN
Volunteer Tree Co. is based in Maryville, so a job here is a job close to home. That makes it easy to swing by for an estimate, come back for a stump, or check on something after a storm.
Maryville has a lot of big, old trees. The neighborhoods near downtown and around Maryville College have oaks, maples, and tulip poplars that were planted or left standing generations ago, and many of them now tower over houses built long after. The newer subdivisions have different problems: fast-growing trees planted too close to the house, and pines left along lot lines that are now tall enough to reach the roof.
Where we work in Maryville
Anywhere in Maryville: the neighborhoods around downtown and Broadway, the subdivisions off Montvale Road, Sevierville Road, and Lamar Alexander Parkway, and out toward the county line.
The rest of Blount County too, including Alcoa, Louisville, Friendsville, Walland, and Townsend.
Local conditions
What Maryville yards usually have going on
- Big hardwoods over older houses
- Oaks, maples, tulip poplars, and hickories with limbs over the roof and the driveway. Plenty are healthy and just need clearance. Some have deadwood or rot that's been building for years.
- Pines along the property line
- Pines planted as a screen decades ago are now very tall, and a lot of them lean toward the house or the neighbor's.
- Bradford pears
- Common in Maryville yards. They grow fast and split apart in wind and ice, usually right at the main fork. Many people are replacing them.
- Dead ash trees
- Emerald ash borer has killed ash trees all over East Tennessee. Dead ash turns brittle fast and should come down before it starts dropping limbs.
- Sloped yards and creek banks
- Plenty of Maryville lots slope toward the street or a creek. The slope affects how equipment gets in and where wood can safely land.
- Old stumps
- Stumps left from past removals and storms, sitting in the lawn where the mower has to work around them.
Small jobs welcome
One stump by the driveway. One dead limb over the porch. One Bradford pear that split in the last storm. Small jobs are worth a call, and they're often simple to price from a couple of photos.
Before you call about a street tree
Older parts of Maryville have trees between the sidewalk and the curb. Trees in the public right-of-way are often the city's responsibility, so if the tree is right next to the street, it's worth checking with the City of Maryville first. If it's on your side of the property line, it's yours to deal with.

Storms
Storm cleanup in Maryville
Summer thunderstorms roll through Blount County with little warning, and the big shade trees in town catch a lot of wind. Ice storms don't come every year, but when they do, they're hard on pines and Bradford pears.
Being based here means Maryville storm calls are close by. Call and tell us what came down and where; we'll give you an honest idea of when we can get there.
Access
Getting to the tree
A lot of Maryville backyards can only be reached through a gate or between houses. Gate widths and the path from the street matter when planning the job, so they're worth a photo.
Older neighborhoods often have overhead service lines running through the trees. Work close to a power line may need the utility involved before anything gets cut.
Questions
Maryville questions
Do you work all over Maryville?
Yes. Maryville is home base, and we take work anywhere in town and the rest of Blount County.
There's a huge oak over my house. Does it have to come down?
Not necessarily. Plenty of big oaks are healthy and just need the deadwood out and some clearance from the roof. We'll give you an honest opinion, and if the tree needs a formal risk assessment, we'll say so.
Is one stump too small a job?
No. One stump is worth a call. Measure it across the top, send a photo, and you'll get a price.
Who handles a tree between the sidewalk and the street?
Trees in the public right-of-way are often the city's responsibility. If the tree is next to the street, check with the City of Maryville first. If it's on your side of the property line, it's yours.
