Tree Service in South Knoxville, TN

South Knoxville is where the city meets the woods. Neighborhoods like Island Home, Colonial Village, and the streets off Chapman Highway and Alcoa Highway back up to the Urban Wilderness and Ijams Nature Center, and many homes sit on steep, heavily wooded lots.

Steep lots change the job

• Trees on slopes lean downhill — which is often toward the house. After heavy rain, soggy soil on a slope makes uprooting more likely.
• Equipment can't always get in. Bucket trucks and grinders need flat, firm ground. On steep lots, trees are usually climbed and taken down in pieces.
• Debris has to come uphill. Getting logs and brush up to the street is often half the work. Make sure the price includes it.

Woods-edge trees

If your yard backs up to a stretch of woods, the trees along that edge are worth a look every couple of years. Dead trees in the woods don't bother anyone — until one falls across your fence or deck.

South Knoxville tree service FAQ

Can you remove a tree on a steep hillside?

Yes. Most hillside removals are done by a climber who takes the tree down in sections with ropes, so nothing rolls downhill into the house.

A tree from the woods behind me is leaning toward my house. Whose problem is it?

Usually the property owner where the tree is growing. If it's on a neighbor's or public land, let them know in writing. If it's an immediate danger, call for help first.
