01

Tree Removal

Large, dead, diseased or dangerous trees taken down safely – even when they lean over a house, deck or power line. Rob plans the drop, protects everything around it, and lowers each piece exactly where it needs to land.

  • Hazardous & leaning trees
  • Dead or diseased hardwoods and pines
  • Tight spots next to homes, decks & lines
  • Debris removed and yard cleaned up

Trimming & Pruning

Deadwood, storm-damaged limbs and overgrowth trimmed back and shaped with a climber's eye. Customers describe trees "crafted into works of art" – healthier, safer, and better looking.

  • Deadwood & canopy thinning
  • Limbs cleared off roofs, decks & drives
  • Shaping and crown work
  • Green waste hauled away

Technical Climbing & Difficult Removals

The tall, tight and awkward trees other crews walk away from. On spikes, harness and rope, Rob works the trees a bucket truck can't reach – and brings in the right equipment when a job calls for it.

  • Confined and hard-to-reach trees
  • Rigging and controlled lowering
  • Work near power lines and structures
  • Careful, safety-first technique

Storm & Emergency Work

When a storm is coming or a limb is threatening the house, Rob moves fast. One customer had trees dropped the same day Hurricane Helene was rolling in, for peace of mind before it hit.

  • Fast response to hazardous trees
  • Storm-damaged limbs made safe
  • Same-day openings when available
  • Priority for trees threatening a home

Stump Grinding

Once the tree is down, don't live with the stump. Rob grinds it out below grade so you get clean, level ground back – ready to plant, seed or build over.

  • Stumps ground out below grade
  • Clear, level ground returned
  • Grindings raked and tidied
  • Pairs with any removal job

Lot & Multi-Tree Clearing

Several trees or a whole overgrown patch? Rob has dropped four large leaning trees in a single visit and cleared properties tree by tree – then hauled it all away so you can see the space again.

  • Multiple trees in one visit
  • Overgrown areas opened up
  • Everything hauled off-site
  • Yard left clean and usable

Service questions.

Can't see your question? Call or text Rob on (423) 280-7332.

Can you reach a tree a bucket truck can't?

Yes – that's the whole idea. Rob is a climbing arborist, so he can work tall, tight and awkward trees on spikes and rope where a bucket simply can't go.

Do you handle emergencies and storm damage?

Whenever he can. Rob has taken trees down the same day a storm was coming and come out within the hour for urgent jobs. Call and he'll tell you the soonest he can get there.

Will you clean up afterwards?

Always. Every job ends with the debris hauled away and the yard left tidy – customers regularly say you couldn't tell he'd been there.
