We provide a wide variety of services to our customers, including tree removal. Before we begin any job, we will schedule a site visit to determine the scope of the removal and the equipment needed. At this time, we will also assess the area to allow for all necessary safety precautions. Don't forget we provide FREE Estimates.

Trees that are dead, unhealthy, or damaged can pose risks to people and property. Trees may need to be removed if they:

• Demonstrate signs of death or disease

• Pose a hazard by proximity to a home

• Block sunlight from other plant material or turf

• Interfere with construction or home improvement

• Demonstrate signs of storm or wind damage

​

The procedures we use are often dictated by the trees’ location, and its accessibility. Before removal, the tree will be assessed for the extent of damage that it has sustained. Tree removal services may include:

• Utilizing a climber who will tie off pieces of the tree and slowly drop them to the ground.

• Utilizing a bucket truck instead of a climber if the area is accessible by truck

• Utilizing a method where the tree is dropped to the ground in one piece if the area is assessed as wide-open

• Utilizing a crane to lift pieces away after they are cut if the area is extremely close to a home or inaccessible by other means.

​

Tree Service of the Smokies also removes trees that are blocking sunlight from reaching shrubs and grass areas. Our professionals can assist you in determining which trees should be removed to allow for the proper passage of sunlight. If you are building a new home, or adding to an existing structure, trees might need to be removed.

STUMP REMOVAL AND GRINDING

in addition to our tree removal services, stump removal and stump grinding should be done with a tree is cut down. Trees are usually cut down leaving an unsightly and sometimes hazardous stump behind. We have the equipment to remove the stump so you do not have to worry about an unattractive stump on your property.  We also have the equipment to grind the stump and roots in the ground so you can plant another tree in its place, shrubs, flowers or grass. If not done properly, stump removal and grinding can be very dangerous. Over time if the stump is not removed it will decay and attract unwanted insects. We do not recommend the use of chemicals to remove stumps as this can be dangerous.

The equipment we use is carefully monitored and operated by our professional crew to maintain the existing trees, bushes, and landscape features.

After the stump grinding is complete, we clean and haul away all leftover debris. The void left by the stump hole is filled with topsoil, planted with grass seed, and covered with straw. Our customers are left with a newly seeded turf area. Trust your stump grinding needs to a professional company. We take pride in our work and so will you.
