What Is Professional Tree Removal?
Tree removal is the complete, controlled dismantling and extraction of a tree from your property when preservation is no longer a safe or practical option. Urban Tree’s professional arborists evaluate every tree before removal, confirming that the tree cannot be saved through pruning, treatment, or structural support. When removal is the right call, our crews use precision rigging, sectional dismantling, and crane-assisted techniques to bring trees down safely, even in tight spaces near homes, power lines, and other structures.
We serve Chattanooga, Hixson, East Ridge, Red Bank, Harrison, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain, and surrounding communities across Hamilton County. Tree removal at Urban Tree starts at $500 for straightforward residential jobs, with final pricing based on tree size, species, condition, accessibility, and proximity to structures or utilities. We also offer stump grinding as an add-on so you can reclaim the full area once the tree is down.

Why Would a Tree
Need to Be Removed?
Removing a tree is never our first recommendation. As certified arborists, we always assess whether a tree can be preserved before suggesting removal. But when a tree poses a safety risk, is structurally compromised, or is causing property damage, professional removal is the responsible choice.
- Dead or dying trees that could fall during a storm
- Root systems damaging foundations, driveways, or sidewalks
- Trees leaning toward the house, garage, or power lines
- Severe storm damage that has compromised the trunk or canopy
- Disease or pest infestations beyond treatment
- Construction or landscaping projects that require clearance
If you’re not sure whether your tree needs to come down, we can assess it for you. Many trees that look concerning can actually be saved with the right care.
How Does Urban Tree
Handle Tree Removal?
Urban Tree handles removals of every size, from small ornamental trees in residential yards to large hardwoods on commercial lots. Our crew uses modern rigging techniques and specialized equipment to dismantle trees safely, protecting your home, landscaping, and neighboring structures.
For complex jobs (trees near power lines, tight access, proximity to structures), we use controlled rigging and sectional dismantling. This method takes the tree apart piece by piece from the top down, giving our crew precise control over where every section lands.
What’s included in every removal:
- On-site assessment by a professional arborist
- Written estimate with clear pricing
- Professional removal using current safety standards
- Complete debris cleanup and haul-away
- Optional stump grinding
We chip branches on-site and haul away all logs. If you want the wood for firewood, we can cut and stack it at your request.

What About Trees Near Power Lines or Structures?
Yes, we specialize in technical removals in tight spaces. Trees tangled in power lines, wedged between buildings, or overhanging roofs require a different approach than an open-lot removal.
Our crew uses controlled rigging and sectional cuts to safely dismantle trees in confined areas. We coordinate with utility companies when needed and carry full insurance coverage to protect your property.
If your tree is in a tricky spot, that’s exactly the kind of job we’re equipped for.
How Long Does a Typical Tree Removal Take?
Most residential removals are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex jobs (trees near power lines, multi-tree lots, commercial properties) may take longer. We provide a clear timeline during our estimate so you know what to expect.
What Happens to the Wood After Removal?
We remove all debris, chip branches on-site, and haul away logs. If you’d like to keep the wood for firewood, we’ll cut and stack it for you. Stump grinding is available as an add-on service.
