Safe tree removal near homes, fences, and power lines
Taking down a big tree is not a weekend job. One wrong cut can put a limb through a roof or a car. Our crew climbs or uses a lift, cuts the tree in sections, and lowers each piece with ropes so it lands where we want it.
We remove trees of every size, from small ornamentals to tall oaks and pines in tight backyards. Once the tree is down, we cut it up, haul it away, and rake the area clean.
Signs a tree should come down
- Large dead branches or no leaves in season
- A new lean, or soil heaving up at the base
- Deep cracks or splits in the trunk
- Mushrooms or soft, rotten wood at the base
- Roots lifting the driveway or damaging the foundation
- Storm damage that left the tree split or hanging
Every removal includes
- Free on site estimate
- Sectional take down and rigging
- Cleanup and haul away
- Option to keep firewood or chips
- Stump grinding on request
What affects the price
Size of the tree
Taller and wider trees take more time, more cuts, and more gear.
Where it stands
A tree in an open front yard is easier than one between a house and a fence.
Condition
Dead or rotten trees can be harder to climb and need extra care to take down safely.
Cleanup and extras
Haul away, stump grinding, and keeping the wood all change the final price.

Tree removal questions
How much does tree removal cost in Memphis?
Most jobs fall somewhere between a few hundred dollars for a small, easy tree and a few thousand for a large tree over a house. Size, location, access, and what is under the tree all matter. We give you a firm price after we see it.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Memphis?
Most trees on private residential lots in Memphis do not need a permit. Trees in the public right of way, on some commercial sites, or in certain historic areas can have extra rules. If you are not sure, ask us when we come out.
Will tree removal damage my yard?
We work to keep damage to a minimum. We lower big pieces with ropes instead of dropping them, use mats where we can, and clean up when we are done. Some ruts in soft ground can happen after heavy rain, and we will tell you before we start if that is a risk.
Is stump grinding included?
Stump grinding is usually priced on its own so you can choose. Many people add it to the same visit to save time.
Can you remove a tree near power lines?
For trees touching main power lines, MLGW has to make the line safe first. For trees near service drops to your house, we can often plan the work around it. Call us and we will tell you what is possible.
