East Brainerd knows what wind can do. The Easter 2020 tornado cut a corridor through these neighborhoods, and years later the recovery still shapes how homeowners here think about their trees. Mature oaks that survived carry hidden cracks and stress fractures. Replanted yards hold young trees that need formative pruning to grow up strong. And every spring storm season, residents look at the big tree over the bedroom and wonder — is it actually safe?
That question deserves a real answer, and it is what our arborists do best. A documented tree risk assessment tells you which trees are sound, which need pruning to reduce wind load, and which genuinely need to come down. We work throughout the neighborhoods off East Brainerd Road and Gunbarrel Road — removing compromised trees before storm season, restoring storm-damaged canopies, and helping homeowners replant with species that will stand up to the next big blow.

Our Work in East Brainerd
Since 2020, Urban Tree has removed storm-compromised trees, restored damaged canopies, and performed documented risk assessments throughout the East Brainerd corridor. Homeowners here call us before storm season — and we would much rather prune a tree in February than pull it off a roof in April.
The entire crew was professional, knowledgeable and very skilled in their trade. I had several trees removed and several very large trees pruned. All debris was completely removed and the site left as the team found it.
East Brainerd Tree Service FAQs
How do I know if my tree is still safe after past storm damage?
A documented tree risk assessment. Our arborists inspect the trunk, root zone, and canopy for cracks, decay, and structural weakness you cannot see from the ground, then give you a written rating and a clear recommendation — keep, prune, or remove.
My tree has leaned ever since the 2020 tornado. Should I worry?
A tree that shifted in that storm and never straightened may have failed roots on one side. Some stabilize; some are slow-motion failures. Do not guess with this one — have it assessed, especially if the lean points at a structure.
Can pruning actually make a tree safer in high wind?
Yes, done correctly. Selective canopy thinning and weight reduction lower the sail effect and reduce the load on major limbs. Done badly — topping, over-thinning — it makes trees more dangerous. This is where ANSI-standard pruning earns its cost.
What should we replant in East Brainerd after losing trees?
Deep-rooted, wind-firm species suited to our soils — white oak, bald cypress, and blackgum among them — planted with room to mature. We help homeowners choose and place replacements so the next generation of canopy is stronger than what the tornado took.
Can you provide reports for insurance after storm damage?
Yes. We document damaged trees with photos and written arborist findings that insurers accept, and we can prioritize removal of trees on structures. If a claim is coming, call us before cleanup starts so the damage is recorded.
