Tree removal in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville and Hernando
Call or text Darren about a dead, split or leaning tree. The estimate is free, and the quote comes in writing after he looks at the tree.
Mon to Sat, 9am to 7pm. Sunday closed.
Tell us what you've got.
Text a photo of the tree, or tell us in a sentence or two where it is, how big it is and what stands under it. Darren will tell you if it is a job he can take, then comes to look before anything is quoted.
What to have ready when you call
- The address, or the nearest cross street
- Which tree it is, and about how tall
- What stands under or next to it: the house, a fence, a shed, wires
- Whether it is still standing or already down
- A photo, if you can text one
A power line near the tree? Stay back and call MLGW first at 901-544-6549. MLGW asks homeowners not to attempt any tree work if power lines are near.
What changes the price
We do not put a price on a page. It comes from the tree and the spot it is in.
- Height and trunk width
- What stands under it
- How easily equipment gets to the tree
Questions homeowners ask us.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Darren looks at the tree, then writes the quote. You get it in writing after the walk-through.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
It depends on the city and the lot. In the City of Memphis and unincorporated Shelby County, a home lot of ten acres or less is generally exempt from the tree permit. Germantown requires a permit for a public or designated heritage tree, or to remove 15 percent or more of the live trees 10 inches across at chest height, and its code reaches further than that, so check with the city first. In Collierville or Hernando, check with the town. Check your HOA too.
How do I know a tree should come down?
University of Tennessee Extension says dead trees within reach of the house should generally come down, as should a tree leaning more than 15 degrees over something it could hit. A tree with half its roots damaged should probably come down too. Cracks, decay and weak V-shaped forks are warning signs.
Who is responsible if a tree falls?
University of Tennessee Extension notes that if you have a hazard tree, you may be responsible for damage it causes if it falls. For your own situation, ask your insurer or an attorney.
