Our Story
Knoxville Tree Service Pros was founded in 2009 by James Caldwell, a lifelong Knoxville resident who grew up climbing the hardwoods of South Knoxville and learned the trade working alongside his father's small landscape crew. What started as a single bucket truck and a chipper has grown into one of Knox County's most respected tree service companies — but the values have stayed exactly the same: do the work right, treat every property like it's your own, and stand behind every job.
Today our team includes ISA Certified Arborists on staff, full general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and modern equipment for every job from a 15-foot dogwood to an 80-foot heritage oak. We have safely removed more than 500 trees across Knox County and pruned thousands more. We are members in good standing of the International Society of Arboriculture and the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council.
