Tree Service in Lenoir City, TN

Tree Service in Lenoir City runs right up to the water. The Tennessee River and the TVA reservations around Fort Loudoun and Watts Bar form the city's southern boundary, and U.S. 321 crosses Fort Loudoun Dam just south of town. Most of the city lies in Loudon County, with a small part in Roane County. It covers about 8.6 square miles, all land, and is home to around 10,100 people at the 2020 census, with a Census Bureau estimate of 12,530 for 2025.

A town that was laid out on purpose

In 1890 the Lenoir City Company bought the old Lenoir estate and laid out a planned town. That early plan, together with the growth that came with the Fort Loudoun Dam project after 1940, means the central streets have some of the oldest yard and street trees in Loudon County. Those trees are big now. Common requests in the older parts of town:

• Pruning limbs over roofs, porches and the street
• Removing hollow or decayed trees before they fail
• Cutting back trees growing into service lines
• Grinding stumps left in front yards and side lots

Remembering 1993

In February 1993, an F3 tornado tore through parts of Lenoir City, killing one person and injuring 55. Tornadoes are the extreme case, but strong storms bring the same kind of damage on a smaller scale: trees uprooted, tops snapped, limbs on roofs and cars. After a storm, look before you touch anything. If a tree is tangled in wires, stay back and call the utility. If it is on the house, we can usually make the first cuts to take the weight off quickly and safely.

Lake-side yards

Homes near the river and the TVA lands often have yards that slope toward the water, and their trees lean out toward the light over the lake. Waterfront trees are prized for shade and privacy, so we prune these rather than remove them whenever the tree is sound. If you own along a TVA reservoir, check the shoreline rules before cutting trees close to the water, since the strip along the shore may be TVA land.

The utility side

The Lenoir City Utilities Board serves the city, and it built a new headquarters next to a community center in 2016 and 2017. If a tree on your property is touching a power line, contact the utility before any tree work. We'll schedule our part once the line is safe.
