Why trees come down around Chattanooga
The Chattanooga area is one of the most wooded metros in the Southeast, and the hills that make it beautiful also make tree work harder. Spring thunderstorms, the occasional ice storm and saturated clay soils all put big trees at risk of losing limbs or toppling.
Insects and disease play a part too. Southern pine beetle can kill stressed pines quickly in dry years, hemlock woolly adelgid has weakened many hemlocks in East Tennessee, and emerald ash borer has spread through the state, leaving dead ash trees that become brittle and dangerous to climb.
Signs a tree may need to come out
Watch for a new or worsening lean, cracks in the trunk, mushrooms or soft wood at the base, large dead limbs, bark falling away in sheets, or a pine whose needles turn reddish-brown over a few weeks. If a tree is close to the house and showing any of these, it's worth having a professional look sooner rather than after the next storm.

Common questions
How much does tree removal cost in Chattanooga?
Most residential removals fall somewhere between a few hundred dollars and around $2,000, depending on height, trunk size, how close the tree is to buildings or lines, and whether a crane or climber is needed. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Requesting a quote through this site costs nothing, and you're under no obligation to hire anyone.
Who actually does the work?
An independent, locally operated tree service company. We're a referral service that connects you with them; they give you the quote and do the job.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for tree removal?
It often depends on what the tree hit. Many policies help with removal when a fallen tree damages a covered structure, but rarely pay to remove a healthy tree as a precaution. Check your own policy or call your insurer before work starts.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
Usually not for a tree on your own private lot, but trees in the public right-of-way, near the street, or in some historic or regulated areas can have rules. If the tree is near the road, check with your city or county first.
