"I have a Bradford pear tree that was planted in 1991. It was severely overgrown. Chance and Morgan came to deal with it... They did a fantastic job trimming and pruning. And even blew my leaves off of the front yard. Great people, great job."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about tree care and removal in Shelby County.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Memphis?

expand_more
In most residential cases in Memphis, you do not need a permit to remove a tree on private property. However, if your property is located in a historic district, a commercial development, or if the tree is on the city right-of-way, regulations apply. Our team always verifies local zoning laws and secures necessary permits before beginning any removal project.

How much does tree removal cost in Memphis, TN?

expand_more
The cost of tree removal varies widely depending on the height, diameter, location, and condition of the tree. A simple, small tree removal might start around $250, while massive, hazardous oaks hovering over a roof will require heavy equipment and cost significantly more. We provide free, transparent estimates with absolutely no hidden fees.

When is the best time of year to prune trees in Tennessee?

expand_more
For most species, the dormant season (late winter to early spring) is the best time for pruning. Without leaves, our arborists can easily see the tree's structure, and cuts heal faster before spring growth. However, dead, diseased, or hazardous branches should be trimmed immediately, regardless of the season, to protect your property.

Can you save a sick or dying tree instead of removing it?

expand_more
Often, yes! Our certified arborists are trained in plant health care. We can diagnose fungal diseases, pest infestations (like borers), or nutrient deficiencies. Through targeted treatments, structural pruning, or cabling and bracing, we can frequently restore your tree's health and structural integrity without resorting to removal.
