What this service covers
Keep the tree. Fix the problem.
A lot of trees don't need to come down — they need the right cuts. Limbs scraping shingles, branches hanging low over the driveway, dead wood waiting to fall on the car, or a canopy so thick the grass won't grow underneath.
Good pruning removes specific branches at the right spot so the tree seals the wound and keeps its natural shape. We trim for clearance over roofs, drives and walkways, take out dead and broken limbs, thin crowded crowns to let light and wind through, and shape young trees so they grow strong.

What we won't do is top your tree. Chopping the whole crown back leaves weak regrowth and decay — it creates the hazard you were trying to prevent.

Why topping hurts trees.
And what we do instead, plus the best time to prune in East Tennessee.
Topping starves the tree
Removing most of the crown cuts off the leaves that feed the tree. It panics and pushes out fast, weak shoots.
Weak regrowth breaks
Those new shoots attach loosely. A few years later they're heavy, crowded and snap in storms.
Big stubs rot
Cutting in the middle of a limb leaves wounds the tree can't close. Decay moves in.
Reduction, done right
When size needs to come down, we cut back to a healthy side branch so the tree keeps its structure.
Best season
Late winter, when trees are dormant, is ideal for most structural pruning in the Knoxville area.
Anytime work
Dead, broken or dangerous limbs can come out any time of year. Don't wait for winter on those.
