Tree Service in Karns, TN

Karns has changed fast. Farmland and woods along Oak Ridge Highway and Schaad Road have turned into new subdivisions, sitting right next to older homes on big wooded lots.

New subdivisions, exposed trees

When a patch of woods is cleared for a new neighborhood, the trees left standing along the edge suddenly get hit with wind they've never had to handle. Their roots and trunks grew up sheltered by the trees around them. For the first several years after clearing, edge trees are much more likely to snap or blow over.

If you're in a newer Karns neighborhood with a line of tall woods behind the house, it's worth having those trees looked at — especially tall, skinny poplars and pines.

Older Karns properties

• Big shade trees near houses and outbuildings that need pruning or removal
• Overgrown fence lines and cedar thickets
• Old stumps that need grinding before a new lawn goes in

Karns tree service FAQ

The builder left trees behind my new house. Are they safe?

Maybe. Trees left along a new clearing often struggle for a few years. Signs of trouble include new leaning, dead branches at the top, or cracked soil at the base.

Can you grind stumps the builder left behind?

Yes. Grinding leftover stumps before laying sod or seed is one of the most common jobs in new neighborhoods.
