Tree Service in East Memphis, TN

East Memphis is our second busiest area and one we know street by street. Properties here often have well-kept landscaping built around a handful of large specimen trees, and protecting those trees is usually the whole point of the job.

Why East Memphis trees need their own approach

The big southern oaks that line so much of East Memphis were planted in the same era and are now reaching the age where the weaker ones start shedding limbs. A preventative check tells you which of yours are sound and which need attention, long before it becomes an emergency call. We would far rather thin a canopy than remove the tree.

What we do in East Memphis

• Tree removal — including large and difficult removals using a crane where access is tight
• Tree trimming and pruning — canopy thinning, dead-wooding, raising limbs clear of roofs
• Disease and insect assessment — a certified arborist checks whether a tree can be saved
• Storm damage response — getting a fallen tree off a house, fence or driveway
• Stump grinding and full clean-up

What the work usually involves in East Memphis

The thing that comes up most in East Memphis is the neighbor's side of the fence. Properties here are generously planted but the big trees were put in before the fences were, so a large share of our work involves limbs over someone else's roof, pool or yard — and often the only sensible way to get the wood out is through their yard with a small loader. We settle that before the day rather than on it. Access is usually moderate: a bucket truck on the street and drive reaches most of what needs reaching. The trees are mostly mature southern oaks with pecans and hickories among them, and a good deal of the work is storm follow-up — broken tops, hanging limbs and stubs left behind by wind.

Recent jobs in East Memphis

• Four oaks in one front yard cleared of storm-broken and hanging limbs, deadwooded, and the low limbs raised back off the roof.
• A fallen primary limb behind a guest house, taken out with a small loader brought in through the neighbor's yard on the west side by arrangement.
• A tulip poplar at a back corner that could not be felled, roped and blocked down piece by piece instead, and scheduled for winter so the planting around it was dormant.
