Full-service tree care built on craftsmanship, safety, and a real relationship with the land. From a single overhanging limb to a full-lot clearing — we show up, do it right, and leave your grounds looking like we were never there.
From delicate crown work on a beloved shade tree to a full lot cleared for a new build, we bring the same discipline: certified rigging, clean cuts, and thorough cleanup. No sub-contractors. No cutting corners.
Big or small, in a tight backyard or towering over your roof — we take it down safely, cleanly, and with a written plan you actually understand. Bucket truck, crane-assisted, or full climbing rig, whichever is right for your tree and your property.
Selective, science-based cuts that keep your trees healthy, structurally sound, and beautiful — without the "topping" that scars them for life.
Book pruningWhen the wind takes down half your yard, we answer the phone. Emergency crews, insured, working with your insurer from the first call.
Call nowUgly stumps ground 6-12" below grade so you can sod, garden, or build right over. Chips stay, or we haul them off — your call.
Grind a stumpReady to build? We open up wooded lots with a plan — keeping the trees worth keeping and clearing the rest to precise site lines.
Plan a clearingLosing leaves out of season? Cracked trunk? We walk your property, ID the culprit, and give you a straight answer — save it or take it.

The Perfect Grounds started with one bucket truck, one climbing kit, and a simple belief: tree work is a craft, not a commodity. Every crew we send is trained in-house, held to the same safety standards, and paid to slow down and do it right.
We service homes, HOAs, commercial properties, and builders across Knox, Blount, Sevier, Anderson, and Loudon counties — and we treat every property like it belongs to a neighbor. Because most of the time, it does.
"If we can't tell you why we're making a cut, we don't make it. Trees don't heal — they seal. Every choice is permanent."
We come out, walk the property with you, and look at every tree in question — not just the "problem" one. No pressure, no upsell.
Clear, itemized quote emailed the same day. You see exactly what's included: rigging, cleanup, haul-off, stump — no surprise fees.
Locked-in date, on-time crew, safety briefing on-site. Neighbors notified. Beds and hardscape protected before the first cut.
Chipped, hauled, blown off, raked. You come home and can't tell we were there — except for what's no longer in your way.
From single-tree removals to full mountainside developments — a look at a few of the projects our crew has cleared, shaped, and finished across East Tennessee.
A private mountainside community above the Smokies — Natural Beauty. Elevated Living. We cleared the road corridor, opened the ridge for panoramic Smoky Mountain views, prepped homesites, and left the surrounding hardwoods clean, healthy, and stable.
We don't run big ads — most of our calls come from a fence-line conversation or a next-door recommendation. That's exactly how we like it.
"They took down a 90-foot oak between my house and my neighbor's fence without moving a shrub. I've never seen a crew this careful — and they were done and cleaned up before dinner."
"Storm dropped half a tree on our porch at 10 p.m. They answered on the first ring and had a crew out at 7 the next morning. Honest, fair, and did the job right."
"Cleared 3 acres for our new build and left every tree we marked to keep. On time, on budget, and my wife actually thanked me for hiring a tree service — a first."
Not on the list? Give us a call — if you can see the Smokies from your porch, we probably cover it.
Honest answer: it depends on the tree, the location, and access. A backyard removal near a house takes longer, more rigging, and more crew than an open-yard drop. That's exactly why our estimates are free and on-site — we'd rather look at it than guess. Most single-tree removals we do fall between $500 and $3,500.
Yes — general liability and workers' comp. We'll email you a certificate of insurance before we start work if you'd like to see it. Never let a tree company on your property without one.
Every job includes chipping the brush, hauling off the wood, and blowing off driveways and hardscape. If you want the firewood cut and stacked or the chips left as mulch, just say the word.
Call us. We answer 24/7 and can usually get a tarp on the roof and a crew scheduled within hours. We work with all major insurance carriers and can send documentation directly to your adjuster.
No — and no reputable arborist will. "Topping" scars a tree for the rest of its life and creates dangerous, weak regrowth. If a tree is too tall for its spot, the honest answer is either a proper crown reduction or removal.
Most free estimates happen within 2-3 business days. Storm and emergency work moves to the front of the line, day or night.
The fastest way to get us on your property is a quick phone call — but a form works just as well. Either way, you'll hear back from a real person, same day.
