Tree Service in Germantown, TN

Germantown is one of the most heavily wooded parts of the Memphis area, and the mature hardwoods that make it beautiful are also the ones that do the most damage when they fail. We have completed hundreds of jobs in Germantown, and most of them start the same way: a homeowner notices a limb over the roof, or a tree that no longer looks right after a storm.

Why Germantown trees need their own approach

Germantown yards tend to hold big, long-established oaks, hickories and sweetgums, often planted close to houses decades ago when they were small. That closeness is what makes careful work matter here — most of what we do in Germantown is precision removal and crown thinning over a roofline, rather than open-yard felling. Because the lots are well established, access is often tight, which is where having a crane operator and a grapple truck on staff makes the difference.

What we do in Germantown

• 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 Germantown

Germantown lots are wide enough that access is rarely the problem it is in Midtown, and that changes how the work is done. We can usually set a crane in the street and lift a front-yard oak out whole rather than climbing it and rigging it down in pieces, which is faster and much easier on the lawn beneath. Bucket trucks reach most back yards down the side of the house. The trees are the other half of it: big southern oaks, maples and tulip poplars planted close to houses decades ago, so a lot of our Germantown work is deadwood and weight reduction over a roofline rather than removal. We also do a fair amount of hedge and screen shaping here — long runs of hollies and privets that need taking back off a drive without being butchered.

Recent jobs in Germantown

• A front-yard oak lifted out with the crane parked in the street, stump ground afterwards — a day's work on a lot where a climbing removal would have taken considerably longer.
• Three trees on one visit at a house near the drive: two oaks deadwooded and thinned, and a maple raised back off the roof and gutters.
• A dead elm taken down at the back fence, and the same visit used to shape a run of hollies and privets back off the driveway and cut the dead trunks out of them.
