One call instead of five
Tree work rarely shows up on a convenient day. A storm drops a limb across the carport in East Brainerd. An old white oak on a Signal Mountain slope starts leaning toward the house. The home inspector flags a dead pine two weeks before closing. You need someone competent, and you need them soon.
The usual routine is a string of calls, voicemails and crews who never show up to quote. Call us instead. We pass your job to an independent local tree company that handles that kind of work in your part of town, and they come out and put a price in writing.
What we can help with
Tree removal
Dead trees, leaning trees, storm-cracked trees and trees that are simply in the wrong spot. Most Chattanooga-area removals land somewhere between $550 and $1,400.
Emergency and storm damage
A tree on the roof, the car or across the only driveway. We put you in touch with a crew that takes storm calls and can photograph the damage for your insurer.
Trimming and pruning
Limbs off the roof and away from the service line, a raised canopy over the driveway, deadwood out before it falls on someone.
Stump grinding
Ground below the surface so you can reseed, plant or pave. The first stump usually costs $150 to $400.
Land and lot clearing
Building lots, overgrown back acreage, fence lines and brushy hillsides in the outlying parts of the county.
Cabling and bracing
Support for a valuable tree with a weak fork, often for a fraction of what removal would cost.
Commercial tree service
HOAs, property managers, churches and businesses that want one dependable crew on call.
What happens when you call
- Tell us about the job. Where the tree is, roughly how big, and what’s near it. Two minutes is plenty.
- We match you with a local crew. An independent Chattanooga-area tree company that handles your type of job and works your area.
- Get a written estimate. The crew looks at the tree and gives you a price in writing. No cost and no obligation.
- You decide. Hire them or don’t. Nobody pressures you, and you never pay us anything.
What tree removal usually costs around Chattanooga
Everyone asks about price first, so here it is. These are typical ranges across the Chattanooga area, not quotes. The crew prices your tree after seeing it.
| Tree height | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Small, under 30 ft | $250 to $550 |
| Medium, 30 to 60 ft | $550 to $1,250 |
| Large, 60 to 80 ft | $1,000 to $2,200 |
| Very large or crane job, 80 ft and up | $1,800 to $3,800 or more |
Slope, access for the truck, what the tree hangs over and whether you want the wood hauled away all move the number. On the mountains and ridges, steep ground alone can add a lot. For a rough figure, try the cost calculator.
Why homeowners start here
Local crews. We work with independent tree companies based in the Chattanooga area, not a national call center that sends whoever is free.
The price in writing first. Every estimate is free and written down. If it isn’t on paper, it isn’t the price.
No cost to you. You never pay us. If you hire a crew, they may pay us a referral fee, and your price is the same either way.
Plain answers. Our guides cover costs, permits, insurance claims and how to tell whether a tree is dying, so you know what you’re paying for before a saw starts.
Chattanooga trees come with Chattanooga problems
A lot of the tree work here happens on a slope. Lots on Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge are steep and often tight, so big trees have to be climbed and lowered in pieces, or lifted out with a crane from the street. Crews that work the ridges every week know how to rig those jobs safely.
The weather does its share too. The Easter Sunday tornadoes in April 2020 cut through East Brainerd, Ooltewah and Collegedale, and spring thunderstorms still bring down limbs across the county every year. Ash trees are another problem: emerald ash borer was confirmed in Chattanooga in 2013, and untreated ash trees that are dying now get brittle and dangerous to climb.

Quick answers
Are you a tree company? No. Chattanooga Tree Team is a free referral service. We connect you with independent local tree crews, and the crew you hire does the work.
Does it cost anything to call? No. The call, the estimate and our help are free.
How fast can someone come out? Routine estimates are usually booked within a few days. If a tree is on the house or blocking the driveway, say it’s an emergency when you call.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Chattanooga? Usually not for a tree on your own lot. The city requires a permit for work on trees in the public right-of-way or on city-owned land, and HOAs and other towns can have their own rules. More questions
