“Had the owner come out to assess some trees on our property and he really knew his stuff. He measured everything out, explained the health of each tree, and gave us honest advice about which ones needed attention. Saved us from making a costly mistake on a tree we thought was dying but actually just needed proper pruning.”
Arborist Consultation
“My overgrown hedge was totally out of control, and these guys shaped it up beautifully in just one afternoon. The crew was professional and cleaned up every bit of debris, my yard looked better than it has in years.”
Hedge Trimming & Shrub Care
“Called them to trim back the branches hanging over our driveway. The two-man crew was quick, careful around our cars, and they did a really thorough job clearing all the dead wood. Everything's mulched and hauled away, no mess left behind.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“We had an old oak stump that was an eyesore in our backyard for two years. They ground it down completely below ground level and the area is totally usable now. Would've taken me forever to remove it myself.”
Stump Grinding
“Had a dead pine tree right next to the house that was a safety concern. The crew showed up with all the right equipment, took it down section by section so carefully, and had everything cleared out in about 3 hours. I was impressed by how they managed the whole thing without any damage to the fence or roof.”
Tree Removal
“Our big maple was getting too thick and blocking sunlight from reaching the house. They came in and really opened it up with smart pruning cuts. The tree looks healthier already and our living room is actually bright now. Only thing was they were running about 30 minutes late, but the work made up for it.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“Got them out to prune a young dogwood in our front yard that was getting leggy. The arborist explained exactly what he was doing and why, and now it's growing in much better. Really nice to work with knowledgeable people who care about the tree's future.”
Tree Trimming & Pruning
“A huge branch came down during that storm last week and was hanging dangerously over our roof. Called Knoxville Tree Trimming at like 7 PM and they got someone out the next morning. They safely removed the branch and assessed the rest of the tree, turned out we needed some additional trimming work done, which they scheduled for the following week. Really grateful for the quick response.”

Knoxville Tree Trimming is the trusted local choice for professional tree service in Knoxville, Tennessee, and the surrounding region. Whether you are a homeowner in the Victorian-lined streets of Fourth and Gill, the Craftsman neighborhoods of Fountain City, the oak-shaded hills of Sequoyah, or the newer subdivisions spreading through Farragut and Hardin Valley, our team brings decades of experience to every job. We serve Knoxville, Maryville, Alcoa, Oak Ridge, and the communities across Knox County and into Blount and Loudon counties.
From storm cleanup to routine maintenance, Knoxville Tree Trimming handles the full range of residential tree care. Homeowners searching for tree service near me in Knoxville rely on us because we show up on time, work safely, and leave your property cleaner than we found it. Call us today for a free estimate.
When a storm rolls through the Ridge-and-Valley, trees come down fast. Violent afternoon thunderstorms, ice-loaded winter weather, and the occasional remnant tropical system can snap limbs, topple trunks, and leave hazardous wood hanging over your roof, deck, vehicle, or power lines. Tree removal in Knoxville demands speed, skill, and heavy equipment, and that is exactly what we provide. Whether you are dealing with a massive tulip poplar, a brittle Bradford pear with a weak crotch, or a disease-weakened ash tree, our arborists assess the risk and execute the removal safely, even on steep hillside lots where access is tight.
Storm damage does not wait for business hours. A fallen tree crushing your garage, a widow-maker hanging over your bedroom, or a limb threatening the power lines to your home requires emergency tree service around the clock. Knoxville Tree Trimming responds to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (865) 995-5476 the moment a tree becomes a hazard, and we will mobilize our crew to stabilize the situation and prevent further damage. Large tree removal jobs typically represent significant investment, but the cost of delay, injury, or structural damage is far higher.
Beyond storm response, we also remove trees that are diseased, dead, or simply in the way of new construction or landscaping. Emerald ash borer has devastated ash trees across East Tennessee, oak decline affects mature oaks on compacted soils, and pine beetle pressures drought-stressed pines in dry years. Rather than watch a failing tree deteriorate and shed branches for years, many homeowners choose removal and replanting. Our team handles the entire process and can discuss options during your free estimate.
Tree removal and service costs in Knoxville vary based on several factors: the size and species of the tree, the ease of access to your yard, whether the tree is near structures or power lines, and the scope of cleanup required. A small ornamental removal costs far less than taking down a 60-foot oak on a hillside lot with limited equipment access. For a detailed breakdown of pricing and examples tailored to common scenarios in our area, visit our pricing page. We provide free estimates on every job so you know exactly what to expect before we start work.
Beyond emergency removal, Knoxville Tree Trimming offers a complete suite of residential tree care. Stump grinding removes the roots and debris left behind after felling, reclaiming yard space and eliminating tripping hazards. Regular tree trimming and pruning promotes healthy growth, improves sight lines, and reduces the risk of limb failure during storms. We also provide hedge trimming and shrub care, land clearing for new construction, and arborist consultation to diagnose problems and plan long-term tree health strategies.
Many cities and counties in the Knoxville area, including Knoxville itself, require permits for tree removal above a certain size or for trees designated as protected heritage species, such as mature oaks or other significant urban trees. Additionally, if you live in a neighborhood with a homeowners association, visible removals may require HOA approval. Property line rules also apply when dealing with branches or roots from a neighbor's tree. Rather than navigate these requirements alone, let Knoxville Tree Trimming guide you through the process. Our team is familiar with local ordinances and can advise on permitting needs and timelines. Contact us for a free estimate and we will clarify what applies to your situation.
