Tree Service in West Knoxville
West Knoxville is where the city’s big trees live. The neighborhoods that grew up along Kingston Pike between the 1950s and the 1980s — West Hills, Cedar Bluff, Rocky Hill, Westmoreland, Sequoyah Hills at the east end — were platted on wooded ridges, and the oaks and poplars that were left standing are now sixty and seventy years bigger than when the first owners moved in. That’s the beauty of the area and its recurring maintenance problem: a lot of very large trees, very close to a lot of houses.
We work West Knoxville week in and week out — from Bearden to Cedar Bluff to the Pellissippi corridor. Call or text 865-658-1399 for a free estimate.
What’s Different About Tree Work in West Knoxville
Scale. West Knoxville’s older subdivisions have more genuinely large trees per lot than anywhere else in the metro. That means sectional takedowns with rigging are the norm rather than the exception, and it means “how much does a big tree cost” is the most common question we get from this side of town.
Tight lots and slope. The ridge-and-valley terrain that runs through Rocky Hill and West Hills puts trees on grades, which changes the plan for every drop. Some of the best backyards in West Knoxville are also the hardest to get equipment into.
Older infrastructure. Established neighborhoods mean established utility lines, mature root systems under driveways and sidewalks, and sometimes septic on the older lots toward the county line. We check before we cut.

West Knoxville Tree Questions
Are there any tree regulations in the City of Knoxville I should know about?
Within Knoxville city limits, most tree work on private residential property doesn’t require a permit, but the city does regulate work in certain overlay districts, on street trees in the right-of-way, and in some historic areas. If your tree is between the sidewalk and the street, or you’re in a historic-overlay neighborhood like parts of Sequoyah Hills, check with the city before cutting. We’ll help you sort out what applies. (General information — verify with the City of Knoxville.)
Who handles trees near power lines in West Knoxville?
KUB handles clearance around its own primary lines. For service drops to your house and trees near them, that’s a coordination job — see our tree removal page for how we handle it.
Do you work in Bearden and Sequoyah Hills, or just the west side?
