From storm-damaged limbs to careful pruning, we help Chattanooga property owners keep trees safe, healthy, and beautiful.

Chattanooga trees take a beating. Between heavy summer storms, steep slopes, tight urban lots, and mature hardwoods, it does not take much for a healthy-looking tree to turn into a real risk. We work with homeowners and property managers across Chattanooga to make tree care simple, safe, and clean from start to finish.
At South Valley Tree Care, we help protect the beauty of local properties while keeping safety first. We care about native tree conservation, smart pruning, and giving customers a clean finished product they can feel good about. Whether you need one hazardous tree removed or ongoing care for several mature trees, we bring the right equipment, the right crew, and a practical plan for the job.
Tree work in Chattanooga is rarely one-size-fits-all. Some jobs need crane-assisted removal near homes or power lines. Others call for smaller low ground-pressure machines that can fit through narrow gates and backyards without tearing up the lawn. We maintain a full range of equipment so we can handle difficult access, storm damage, and jobs of all sizes with less disruption to your property.
Our crew is known for being professional, organized, and respectful on-site. We keep our trucks and equipment well maintained, and we pay close attention to cleanup. That means fewer headaches for you and a smoother project from the first visit to the final haul-away.
We know what customers want from a tree company: clear communication, safe work, dependable scheduling, and a site that looks clean when we leave. That is exactly what we focus on. We do not just cut trees down and move on. We look at the full picture, including access, safety, tree health, long-term property value, and how to complete the work with the least impact possible.
We work throughout Chattanooga, including areas like Downtown, North Shore, St. Elmo, Lookout Valley, East Brainerd, Hixson, Signal Mountain, Ooltewah, and nearby communities across the greater Chattanooga area. If you have a tree leaning over your home, overgrown limbs blocking a view, or storm damage that needs fast attention, we are ready to help.
If you need tree removal, tree pruning, vista pruning, or emergency tree service in Chattanooga, reach out to South Valley Tree Care today. We would be glad to take a look, answer your questions, and help you plan the safest next step for your property.
Real feedback on safe tree work, clear communication, and a clean job from start to finish
Prompt ,fair price ,good communication, top of the heap professionals !
Richard and his crew took on a job that my typical go to provider did not have the capability to complete. His price was very fair considering the challenging circumstances of the job, his communication was top-tier, and his team’s execution in the end was exceptional!
Richard and the crew did an Amazing job! They went above and beyond. The clean up after tree work was beyond also and very much appreciated. 5 Stars for sure in all aspects of punctuality, timeliness, and total scope of service.
Richard Pursley, the Owner/Operator came to Brewton, Alabama to assist our residents with tree cutting and removal after the hurricane in our area ! He was great, with his two assistants at the scene, and Kevin handling the estimate and correspondence at the home office in Tennessee. He owns a “Super Truck” with a hydraulic boom and a rotating gripper head that grabs the tree and cuts it with a chainsaw. He can go”over” the other trees in your yard without damaging your yard and literally place them in rows to be picked up by the clean up crew later. Richard can go to the tree and grab, cut,, or trim it without being next to or under the tree, wearing a joystick control belt. Having been a Safety Manager for multiple plants, it is a very safe and quick method to do this job. We cut down, delimbed, and moved all seven trees in my yard in one day - safely - for Richard, the crew members, and even myself, observing and assisting them during the entire job !! Super Cutter, Super Crew, Super Truck for a tough job at a critical time !!! And, with a sincere and caring attitude for the job to be done WELL and SAFELY !!! Well done guys from….. South Valley Tree Care !!!!!! Thank you all John Brantley
Nice friendly crew with great equipment. Provided a reasonably priced quote detailing exactly the work to be done and completed the service the next day quickly and safely without any issues. And they really like trees so they'll teach you a lot if youre interested to learn!
I was referred to the South Valley by a friend. I called and received a reasonable quote the same day. I had only one day to do the work before leaving town, rain was expected after lunch. The team arrived when promised were ready to start at the agreed time. They used a boom truck , lifted a climber attached to the boom up to the tree over the house. The climber then removed the limbs and secured ropes to the tree top and bottom thirds. It was then lifted off the house and placed in a grass area. They then cut the trunk into fireplace lengths. As discussed, they mulched all the limbs into my shade bed. The tree on the house was one of a codominant,. Therefore they advised that I also remove the tree standing, this was also done efficiently. The tree was secured to the boom and lifted as it was cut to lay alongside of the 1st tree. The second tree was also cut to fireplace lengths. The entire yard and roof was blown off with backpack blowers and the yard was left in great shape. I would highly recommend using South Valley Tree Care. I posted same in the neighborhood FB page and even told my insurance agent to refer them when he could.
