Tree Service in Sevierville, TN

Tree Service in Sevierville covers some of the most varied ground around Knoxville. The city sits where the foothills of the Great Smokies give way to the Tennessee Valley, at the forks of the Little Pigeon River. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is about ten miles south. Sevierville is the county seat of Sevier County, with 17,889 residents at the 2020 census, and it covers about 24 square miles of river bottom, rolling hills and steeper wooded slopes.

A high share of rentals

Census figures show that only 50.6% of Sevierville homes are owner-occupied, one of the lowest rates around Knoxville. About half the homes are rented, and in a tourism county some of those are vacation rentals. That changes who calls us and why. Owners and managers of rental homes usually want:

• Trees kept off roofs, decks and hot tubs so guests and tenants are safe
• Dead trees removed before they fall on a parked car
• Clear, quick written estimates they can approve from a distance
• Photos of what we found and what we did

We're happy to work with out-of-town owners and property managers. Send us the address and access details, and we'll take it from there.

Wind on the ridges

Sevier County knows what wind and trees can do. During the 2016 Great Smoky Mountains wildfires, mountain-wave winds gusted up to 87 mph on November 28. Strong winds knocked trees onto power lines, and sparks from those lines started many of the fires that spread into Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The fires burned about 17,900 acres, destroyed roughly 2,460 structures and killed at least 14 people. Not every windstorm is that extreme, but the lesson holds: trees leaning toward lines and houses on exposed slopes are worth dealing with before the next storm.

Defensible space around hillside homes

On wooded hillside lots, reducing fuel near the house is a sensible precaution. That usually means: 1. Removing dead trees and limbs near the house and deck 2. Raising low branches so ground fires can't climb into the crowns 3. Clearing branches away from roofs and chimneys 4. Cleaning up brush piles and downed wood close to structures We can do this kind of clearing as part of a regular pruning visit.

Steep lots and tight access

Many Sevierville homes sit on steep, winding drives. Getting equipment to the tree can be the hardest part of the job. On those properties, climbers and ropes do much of the work, and wood may need to be carried or winched up to the driveway. The estimate accounts for access, so the price doesn't change on the day.

River bottoms

Along the Little Pigeon and its forks, the ground is flatter and wetter. Sycamores and silver maples grow big here and drop limbs readily. Saturated soil after heavy rain can loosen roots, so a tree that suddenly leans is a warning sign.
