The reason we get the call
The iron that takes down
the trees others won't.
Big, dangerous trees in tight spots aren't a job for a guy with a ladder. We've spent 50 years building a fleet that lifts whole trees up and over your house, never through it.
3 Cranes
Up to 130+ ft of reach, we lift whole trees up and over your house instead of dropping them on it.
Bucket-Tracked Lifts
Two 90-ft and one 70-ft tracked lifts. The 70-ft fits through a 3-foot gate to reach backyards others can't.
Turf Tires
Our newest crane rolls on turf tires so heavy iron gets in and out without tearing up your lawn.
Whole-Tree Chipper
Limbs and brush go straight through the chipper on site, no piles left behind, no second trip.

In 3 hours they removed an 80-foot maple tree in a narrow space between our and our neighbor's house, with such precision, care and cleanup that you couldn't even tell that a tree had been removed.
We've been using Chattanooga Tree Service for the past 19 years. They are the premier tree service in our community.
They provided excellent equipment and a highly skilled crew. The equipment was first-rate, the training of the crew was first-rate.
The guys were awesome to work with, super nice, down to earth, caring, safety conscious, and VERY reasonably priced.
They removed a giant oak only feet from the house. They do great work at a very reasonable price.
26 years using this company, and again, as always, 5 star and thumbs up. Great service beginning with Sheryl at the office.

Straight answers.
Do you really specialize in large, difficult trees?
Yes, it's what we're known for. With three cranes that reach over 130 feet, bucket-tracked lifts and a whole-tree chipper, we safely take down big trees in tight spaces between homes and over rooflines, the work many companies won't touch.
Will you clean up when you're done?
Always. We won't leave you with the mess. Our crews rake, blow off the yard and haul away every limb, customers routinely tell us it looks like we were never there.
How much does tree removal cost in Chattanooga?
It depends on the tree's size, location and access, so removals can run anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand for a giant over the house. Use the instant estimate tool on this page for a ballpark, then call (423) 899-5753 for an exact written quote, always free.
Will the heavy equipment tear up my yard?
We work hard to prevent it. Our newest crane runs on turf tires, and one of our bucket lifts fits through a 3-foot gate, so we minimize impact to your lawn, trees and structures.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry both liability and workers' comp insurance, and we've held a complaint-free record with the Better Business Bureau since 2008.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes. When a tree comes down on your home or blocks your driveway, call us, we respond fast to dangerous, storm-damaged trees.
How long have you been in business?
Since 1975. We're the oldest tree service in Chattanooga, family-owned and operated by three generations of the Pratt family.
