Approximate locations · Based in Maryville, TN
Townsend sits along the Little River at the edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and most properties here are surrounded by tall timber. That's the appeal. It also means big trees within reach of cabins, decks, and driveways, on slopes where getting to them is never simple.
Full-time residents, second-home owners, and rental cabin owners all have tree work here. If you don't live in Townsend, we can price the job from photos and a phone call, work out access with you or your property manager, and send photos when it's done.
Where we work in Townsend

Local conditions
What Townsend properties usually have going on
- Tall trees over cabins
- Tulip poplars, oaks, and pines towering over cabins and decks, often on the uphill side.
- Dead hemlocks
- Hemlock woolly adelgid has killed a lot of eastern hemlocks around the Smokies. Dead hemlocks near cabins and drives dry out, get brittle, and turn into a real hazard.
- Steep, narrow access
- Gravel drives, switchbacks, and not much room to turn around. Access often decides how the job gets done.
- Rental cabins
- Owners who need hazards dealt with between guests and the property left clean enough for the next booking.

Storms
Storm cleanup in Townsend
Mountain storms blow in fast, and soaked soil on a slope lets trees uproot more easily. One tree across a long gravel drive can cut a cabin off until it's cleared.
For rental property, tell us about upcoming check-ins when you call so the work can be planned around guests where possible.
Access
Getting to the tree
A lot of Townsend property can't take a full-size truck up to the tree. Compact equipment, rope work, and carrying wood out by hand are often part of the job, and that gets figured out when we look at it.
If your property borders the national park, trees on park land are the park's to manage. The work stays on your side of the line.
Questions
Townsend questions
I don't live in Townsend full time. Can the work get done while I'm away?
Yes. The job can be priced from photos and a phone call, access worked out with you or your property manager, and photos sent when it's finished.
There are dead hemlocks near my cabin. Should they come down?
Dead hemlocks near cabins, decks, or driveways should come down. They dry out and break apart over time, and they can drop big pieces with no warning. Hemlocks well away from anything can often be left standing.
Can you work around my rental bookings?
Tell us your calendar. Unless it's an emergency, the work can usually be scheduled around it.
