Tree and Shrub Removal in Chattanooga, TN

Tree and Shrub Removal · Chattanooga, TN

Small trees and overgrown shrubs taken out

Tree removal in the open parts of a property is the work we take on. Three Crosses Land Services drops small and mid-size trees across the Chattanooga area. Shrub removal goes with it. Hedge rows that outgrew the bed, ornamentals crowding a walk, brushy tree lines along a fence. Estimates are free. Call or text (423) 260-5675.

Growth moves fast in the Tennessee Valley. A volunteer sprout in a fence corner turns into a real tree in a few seasons. Bradford pear, privet, bush honeysuckle, and autumn olive seed themselves into any ground nobody mows. Storms roll through and leave broken limbs and leaners behind.

The work stays away from houses and structures. A tree hanging over a roof comes down in pieces, on rope and climbing gear. That belongs to a tree service. Ours is the open ground: yards with room, back lots, field edges, tree lines. Where the brush under them is thick, brush clearing cuts it back.

The trees and shrubs we take out

Most jobs are small and mid-size trees standing in the open. Volunteer maples and sweetgums along a fence row. Bradford pear in a front yard, a tree the Tennessee Invasive Plant Council lists as an established invasive. Its limbs split in wind. Scrub trees filling a back lot, and leaners a storm left behind.

Shrub work is the other half. Overgrown hedges, ornamentals nobody cut back for years, and thickets of privet or bush honeysuckle along a boundary. Those grow dense enough to shade out everything under them. Our mini skid steer fits through a standard fence gate, so back yard work is in reach. A whole grown-up boundary is fence line clearing and gets priced on its own.

How a removal runs

We come out and look at the trees first. You point out what goes and what stays. We check where the machine gets in and where the material can go. Then you get a price and a date.

Trees come down one at a time into open ground. Shrubs get cut low, then the roots come out where we can reach them. The mini skid steer moves material as we go, so the yard stays passable. Limbs can run through the drum mulcher and stay on site as mulch.

The rest leaves with us in the dump trailer. If there is other junk to go with it, our debris removal takes it on the same load. A cut tree leaves a stump, and stump grinding puts that below grade so the spot mows flat.

What tree and shrub removal costs

Price follows the work in front of us. How many trees and how big they are is the first piece. A row of scrubby saplings comes out faster than two mid-size hardwoods. Access is next, since a gate the machine fits through beats dragging material a hundred feet.

Where the debris ends up moves the number too. Mulching on site is quicker than loading a trailer and running to a dump. Wet clay slows a job after heavy rain, and we would rather wait a day than rut up a yard. When a whole lot is grown over, land clearing is the better fit.

Estimates are free, and you get the price before work starts. Three Crosses Land Services is a veteran-owned family business based just north of Chattanooga. We are licensed and insured, working Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia. Faith. Integrity. Service. is the motto behind the work. Call or text (423) 260-5675 to set a time.

FAQ

Tree and Shrub Removal Questions, Answered

Common questions about tree and shrub removal across Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (423) 260-5675

Can you remove a tree that is right up against my house?
No, and we say that up front. A tree standing over a roof or a power line has to come down in pieces. That takes rope and climbing gear, and a tree service is the right call. We take trees out in the open parts of a property, where there is room to drop them. Describe what you have when you call and we will tell you whether it fits.
How big a tree can you take down?
Room around the tree matters more than the trunk. Small and mid-size trees with a clear drop zone are what we handle. A tall hardwood boxed in by a house or a shop belongs to a climbing crew. Most properties have a mix, and we take the ones that fit.
What happens to the branches and the wood?
You pick at the estimate. Brush and limbs can go through the drum mulcher and stay on the ground as mulch. Or the material loads into our dump trailer and leaves with us. Wood you want for a fire pit gets cut to length and set where you ask.
Do you take the stump out too?
Yes. We run a stump grinder, so the stump can go below grade once the tree is down. Chips can be raked into the hole and left. Or they get hauled out, with topsoil brought in so the spot is ready to seed. Stump work is quoted with the removal.
Can you get into my back yard?
Usually. The mini skid steer fits through a standard fence gate. That is what puts back yard shrubs and small trees in reach. We need a path in that is wide enough and a spot out front for the trailer. Soft ground after a heavy rain is the other limit, and we look at that first.
Do you handle shrubs and hedges as well?
Yes. Overgrown hedge rows and ornamentals that swallowed a walkway come out. So do invasive shrubs like privet, bush honeysuckle, and autumn olive. Those spread through fence lines and unmowed corners across Southeast Tennessee. We clear the ground behind them so it can be mowed or replanted.
