Warning signs
Signs a tree may need to come down
- A tree or large limb has fallen on your house, car, fence or driveway.
- A tree is leaning more than it used to, or the soil around the base is cracked or lifting.
- You see dead branches, missing bark, mushrooms at the base, or hollow spots in the trunk.
- Limbs hang over the roof or are growing into power or service lines.
- Roots are damaging a foundation, driveway or sewer line.
- You have an old stump you want gone.
Safety first: if a tree is touching a power line, stay well away and contact your electric utility (for example KUB in Knoxville) or dial 911 before anything else.

Is this a tree service company?
No. KnoxTreeRemoval.com connects Knoxville-area homeowners with an independent local tree service provider. When you send the form, KnoxTreeRemoval.com receives it and passes it to an independent local tree service provider, who may reach out about a free estimate.

How much does tree removal cost?
It depends on the tree's size, where it stands, its condition and how easy it is to reach. National estimates run from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand for most jobs. See our tree removal cost guide for national figures and the factors that matter. The only way to get a real number for your tree is a local estimate.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Knoxville?
It depends on where the tree is. In the City of Knoxville, the tree-protection rules for private land don't apply to lots used for a single-family or two-family home, but trees on city property or in the public right-of-way need written approval from the City's Urban Forester. Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge and Knox County each have their own rules. See our permit guide for official links, and check with your city because rules change.
What should I ask before work starts?
Ask for a written estimate, what's included (cleanup, hauling, stump grinding), the expected schedule, and proof of liability insurance. A reputable provider will be glad to answer.
