Tree care in Chattanooga, TN
We climb so you don’t have to.
Pruning, removals, stump grinding and storm cleanup, done carefully and cleaned up after. Free estimates, in writing.
Who we are
Most trees don’t need cutting down. They need the right cuts.
We’re a crew of climbers who prune, remove and clean up after storms, for homeowners who want the job done safely and the yard left tidy.
If a tree can be saved, we’ll say so. If it has to come down, we take it down in pieces, lowered on ropes, with nothing dropped on your roof.
Is my tree okay?
Tap the tree. See what to look for.
Six things we get asked about most, how to spot them from the ground and how soon to call. When in doubt, send us a photo.
Illustration
Dead wood up top
Worth a call soon
- What you might see
- Bare branches while the rest of the tree is in leaf. Bark sliding off a limb. Twigs that snap instead of bend.
- What we would do
- We climb in and take the dead wood out before it comes down on its own. It is usually part of a regular pruning visit.
A hanging limb
Call today
- What you might see
- A broken branch caught up in the canopy, still hanging there after a storm or a windy night.
- What we would do
- We rope it and lower it in a controlled way. Please don’t try to pull it down, and keep people, pets and cars out from under it.
Over the roof or wires
Worth a call soon
- What you might see
- Branches resting on shingles or gutters, scraping in the wind, or hanging over the driveway. Limbs growing toward the line to your house.
- What we would do
- We prune back for clearance and lower cut pieces on ropes so nothing drops on the roof. Anything touching a power line goes to the utility first, and we work with them after.
Cracks and cavities
Worth a call soon
- What you might see
- Long cracks in the trunk, hollow spots, shelf fungus or mushrooms growing from the bark, wet patches that ooze.
- What we would do
- A tree health check. We look closely, sound the wood and tell you whether pruning or cabling can keep it, or whether it should come down.
A new lean
Call today
- What you might see
- A lean that wasn’t there last month. Soil lifting or cracking on the side away from the lean.
- What we would do
- Keep clear and call us. A sudden lean can mean the roots have let go, and that is something we want to see the same day.
Roots and the base
Keep an eye on it
- What you might see
- Mushrooms around the base, roots cut by digging or a new driveway, soil or mulch piled up against the trunk.
- What we would do
- We check the root zone, clear soil back off the flare and tell you what to watch for. Often the answer is a calm wait and see.
