Question 1

How much does tree service in Knoxville cost?

Accepted Answer

Most Knoxville tree removals run $500 to $2,500. Small trees start around $250. Large hardwoods over structures can reach $5,000+. We provide free written estimates with no obligation.

Question 2

Are you licensed and insured in Tennessee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Knoxville Tree Service Pros is fully licensed, carries $1M+ general liability insurance, and workers' compensation on every crew member. We provide proof of insurance before any job.

Question 3

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Every estimate is free, written, and obligation-free. We meet you on site, assess the tree, and explain the work and price before you commit.

Question 4

How fast can you respond to an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Our 24/7 emergency line dispatches a crew within 60 minutes for storm-damaged or structure-threatening trees in Knox County.

Question 5

Do you clean up after the job?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every quote includes complete cleanup. Brush is chipped, logs are hauled away (or stacked for firewood if you prefer), and the work area is raked clean.

Question 6

What's the best time of year to trim trees in Knoxville?

Accepted Answer

Late winter (January–early March) is ideal for most species — the tree is dormant, structure is visible, and disease pressure is low. Dead or hazardous limbs can be removed any time.

Question 7

Will tree removal damage my lawn?

Accepted Answer

We protect turf with plywood mats under heavy equipment and lower limbs in controlled pieces. Some impact is unavoidable on large jobs, but we discuss it upfront.

Question 8

Do you remove stumps too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stump grinding can be added to any removal or scheduled as a standalone service. Most stumps are ground out in under an hour.

Question 9

What areas around Knoxville do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve all of Knox County plus Blount, Anderson, Loudon, Roane, Jefferson, Sevier, and Hamblen counties — including Farragut, Oak Ridge, Maryville, Alcoa, Powell, and Lenoir City.

Question 10

Are you ISA Certified Arborists?

Accepted Answer

Every job is overseen by an ISA Certified Arborist. We follow ANSI A300 pruning standards and Z133 safety standards on every crew.

Question 11

Do you accept credit cards?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we accept all major credit cards, checks, ACH, and offer financing on jobs over $1,500 through Wisetack.

Question 12

Do I need to be home for the estimate?

Accepted Answer

No. As long as we can access the tree, we can leave a written estimate and follow up by phone or email.

Question 13

How long does a typical removal take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential removals are completed in 3–6 hours including cleanup. Crane jobs and very large trees may take a full day.

Question 14

Do you handle trees on power lines?

Accepted Answer

Trees in direct contact with primary power lines must be addressed by KUB. We handle everything once the utility has de-energized or cleared the line, and we coordinate with KUB on your behalf.

Question 15

Do you cut firewood?

Accepted Answer

On request we'll cut logs to firewood length and stack them on your property at no extra charge.

Question 16

Will my homeowners insurance cover tree removal?

Accepted Answer

Generally only if a tree has fallen on a covered structure. Preventive removal is typically out-of-pocket. We provide documentation that supports insurance claims.

Question 17

Do you spray for tree diseases?

Accepted Answer

We do not apply chemical pesticides, but our arborists diagnose disease and refer to licensed applicators when treatment is the right call.

Question 18

Can you plant trees too?

Accepted Answer

We focus on removal, pruning, and structural work. We can recommend trusted Knoxville nurseries and landscape contractors for new plantings.

Question 19

Do you offer commercial accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we serve HOAs, property managers, municipalities, and commercial properties across East Tennessee with scheduled maintenance contracts.

Question 20

What payment is required upfront?

Accepted Answer

Nothing for jobs under $2,500. Larger projects may require a 25% deposit to schedule. Full payment is due upon completion.

Question 21

Are bucket trucks always required?

Accepted Answer

No. About 40% of our jobs are climbed because of access constraints. Our crews are equally skilled with ropes and rigging.
