Quick answers before you call

What does tree removal cost?

Published Chattanooga ranges run about $250 to $600 for a small tree and $550 to $1,200 for a medium one, more for large or hazardous trees. See the sources.

Will it mess up my lawn?

A grinder leaves a pile of wood chips and a shallow hole where the stump was. Good operators rake the chips back in or haul them off, and protect nearby beds and siding.

Do I need to call 811?
