Whitwell Tree Services Experts

"The guys at South Valley Tree Care were fantastic. They came the same day of first contact to provide an estimate and completed the work the next day. We had 3 trees leaning over the house, one was a big maple, and about 3 more trees which needed to be cut down. They carefully cut down the trees, mulched the branches, hauled away the big logs, and meticulously cleaned up all the chainsaw shavings, branches and mulch. I would definitely recommend them and would not hesitate to hire them for future jobs."

"Great tree service! Got to us quickly, reasonable prices, very professional and left the job site spotless. Definitely recommend and will use them the next time we need tree work"

"Highly recommend!!! Fast, affordable and very kind!!!"

"South Valley Tree Care was completing some tree removal work for a neighbor and I approached the crew about quoting work for me. Within just a few minutes of the quotation and agreeing on the price, the crew-Issac, Tim, Eric and Justin-got started and finished the same day. No damage, no issues, reasonable price and all areas clean before they left. I will certainly call on them again and refer them to friends and neighbors if asked. Thanks guys!"

"The job was done with high proficiency from start to finish. Not my first tree service work but first using South Valley. Would recommend Would use again 100%"

"The guys with South Valley tree care came out after the tree fell on my house. They worked quickly to get their equipment over to take the tree off of my roof so there wasn't more damage. They did a great job and even put a tarp on my roof for me!"

"Rich and his crew do a tremendous job. We got hit hard by a storm on holiday weekend. They were out immediately to survey the damage and give me estimate. Straight to work on Monday morning and done by Tuesday. Particularly grateful they were very careful with my neighbor's property (where one of the trees landed). Reliable, responsive, experienced. Tree pros! I heartily recommend these guys."

"Had a 60+ foot walnut tree taken down a year ago. I had every intention to get some of these logs removed and milled so I could use them for some projects. After months of people backing out and not following up with me I unfortunately needed to get them removed from my yard. Richard and the South Valley crew came and got them taken to the street lightning fast! I couldn't ask for a better crew and a better service I highly recommend them for the easy and the complicated jobs. Friendly, fast and affordable not really much more you can ask for!"

"Richard and his crew could not have been better to deal with. Their pricing was reasonable, they arrived when they said they would and did everything right. The new crane with the grappler and saw is a game changer. It is amazing how far it can reach and the power it has. If you have a tree close to your house like we did, this is the way to go."

"Professional and expert team armed with the right equipment for removable an old large tree. They caused minimal damage to the yard and to my adjacent garden. Great job!"

"5 Star business all around. Fast, efficient and knowledgeable. Quality work at a fair price!"

"Really appreciated the quick response and fair pricing when we had a tree fall. Everyone was super professional and all looked brand new once done."

"Highly recommend! We had a massive, hundred-year-old tree in our front yard that was heavily rotting and posing a massive danger to our house. I was incredibly nervous about taking it down given how close it was, but South Valley Tree Care handled the entire process with absolute precision, skill, and efficiency. It was amazing to watch how calculated and safe every single cut was, completely neutralizing a huge threat to our home. They made a high-stakes, dangerous job look easy and left the yard immaculate. If you need serious tree work done right, this is exactly who you want to call."

"Great work very quick efficient and affordable!"

"Prompt and professional!"

"The team did amazing work."

"Having work done by South Valley Tree Care was an absolute pleasure. Rich, the owner, gave me a quote a while ago on a tree he instantly deemed as a hazard. It was by far the best value I found. I ended up putting the project off because I was hopeful that my tree was still in good condition, but after Rich and his crew removed it, they discovered it had completely rotted from the inside, and was a ticking time bomb as predicted. Best decision I have ever made Rich and his team were incredibly professional, fast, and efficient throughout the process. Not only did they safely remove the massive tree that was towering over my house, but they also left my yard cleaner and in better condition than it was before they arrived. I would absolutely hire South Valley Tree Care again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of tree services"

"I highly recommend South Valley Tree Care. I live on wooded acreage and have used many different tree services over the last 20 years so I speak from experience. My jobs are never easy because I have huge old trees and also need tree topping done to improve my view. South Valley Tree Care truly understood my needs and provided excellent professional services. Their equipment, climbing skills, arborist expertise and customer service are top notch. I don’t need to call anyone else for my future tree care needs."

"Excellent work! We were very pleased with the tree service , they did extra ,seeing that it was necessary!! They cleaned up afterwards!!! We would recommend them to anyone that needs trees cut down !!!"

"We used South Valley Tree Care to remove 3 very tall, very old oak and pine trees growing near & over the house after one dropped a large branch clipping the corner of the home. The crew was very responsive, professional, safe, and completed the work in a day! Their expertise was very much appreciated!"

"They did an amazing job taking down several dead trees around my property. The team was safe, professional and they took excellent care of my yard. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing tree service."

"I was given a recommendation to use this service and was thoroughly impressed. Very professional, courteous and quick to communicate. Highly professional crew that exceeded expectations. I would absolutely recommend this group."

"We spoke to several tree services . Once South Valley serviced our home we knew then we made the right choice . They were on time , mindful , hard working & pleasant in every way !! We enjoyed their enthusiasm even with a long day ahead . 100 % recommended"

"I had a huge dead tree in my front yard that had gotten stuck by lightning, and was a hazard to the neighbors. Richard and his team made quick work of it the day after the quote. Quick, reliable, and affordable pricing. I will definitely use them again and recommend."

"Richard cut tree out of my front yard! Very stressful for me watching but he was so knowledgeable and professional! AWESOME JOB!"

"South Valley Tree Care stepped into a huge mess after Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on our property. We had multiple trees down on buildings, blocking roads, on our equipment, and many more threatening to cause more damage. They were able to safely remove and clear everything, allowing us to repair our roads and our buildings. Our community was overwhelmed with the need for tree work and South Valley was there to help us and several of our neighbors as well. They were friendly, safe, efficient, and hard working, pulling off some work that I would have sworn would need a crane, But these guys managed to safely take care of everything we asked. I highly recommend them."

"Fast, affordable and professional. These men came to help me out the morning after a storm. Short notice but they took care of it."

"Great company. We had a huge white oak tree in a precarious spot where machinery could not get close to. They were easy to work with, kept the work area clean and pricing was competitive. The crew were all very professional and took precautions to stay safe. We will recommend to others."

"We can’t recommend this company more. They helped us dig out from our ~7 large trees down from hurricane helene, and they went above and beyond cleaning our yard and ensuring other trees were maintained. Truly can’t thank them enough."

"Five stars! We moved into our new house not too long ago and it was obvious the property was in need of some tree work. From our perspective these were huge and knew it was going to take some highly skilled professionals to remove them without damage to the house and property. I called three different companies in the Chattanooga area and received much of the same diagnosis but with different prices. That’s to be expected. First one I called had just finished a massive job down the road and met Richard for the first time and was impressed then and there. Richard spent time with me in much discussion about the trees that ultimately were removed. He pointed out some alternatives to the removal but it ended up that I decided on that. The other two are pretty well known in the area and I have nothing negative to say but their prices for about the same work was astronomically up there. I called Richard back and said I really want you for the job. Wow! My wife and I are so glad that South Valley Tree Sevices were on the job. The team knew exactly what the plan was and it went very smoothly (from our perspective). They methodically tackled each section of the job and saved the grand finale for the last. That was a show to my wife and friends whose were over to watch it. When they were done, they cleaned up and restored and put things back to the way they were before they did the work. ALSO, they planted grass seed to areas that needed it. Richard and his team were not only skilled and professional but add in polite and thoughtful for the care of the property and our questions. I more than highly recommend them. In our estimation, SVTC IS the premier tree company in the area."

"Wonderful people who get the job done! Will be recommending to everyone 😀"

"I would give 10 stars if they were available. These guys were awesome. They did a fantastic job, and left my property looking better than it did before they started. This tree wasn’t an easy one but they made it look easy."

"Richard and his crew do a great job and are easy to work with, highly recommend to anyone looking for tree work."

"Great experience! They cut down some large trees very close to my house and did a wonderful job! They were very clean! They left sone neat stacks for firewood and turned the rest to mulch. Thank you!!"

"Couldn’t ask for a better tree service! Good communication and friendly people to work with. My yard looked immaculate when they were done! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Richard cut down several 20 to 30 foot tall trees in my back yard. He did exactly what I asked him to do and did a very good job at cleaning up my yard when he was done. Great communication and great service in a timely manner."

"Great company to work with! Professional, friendly, safety conscious and extremely qualified and experienced with tree climbing, bucket truck and cutting. They removed challenging leaning trees left from Hurricane Helene at our NC residence. Very impressed and highly recommended!"

"Rich and his crew are nothing short of amazing. They have an arsenal of equipment that can tackle most any job. We had tree damage after a storm in a difficult area to access and they completed the job with complete mastery of all obstacles. They left the area cleaned up to the best of their ability. We highly recommend South Valley Tree Service."

"These guys do great work at a good price! Accommodating, efficient, very like-able, and clean up after there work really well. 👍👍👍"

"Richard with South Valley came to assess some issues with limbs over my house causing moisture problems and took out the limbs that needed to go while keeping the tree healthy. Great guys and great service! A++"

"Richard was super thorough and also very responsive in communication. Team did a great job on cleanup, too. He'll be my first call for the next job and would highly recommend him."

"Richard, and the team, did an incredible job on a tree removal project for us after some roof damage due to trees too close to the house. Richard provided a plan on what trees needed to go as well as some pruning and cabling for stability on a 125+ year old white oak. After a very competitive quote (I had 3 other companies quote as well), the South Valley crew got the job done quickly, professionally, and effectively. They also left the work area cleaner than when they arrived. Make sure to check with these guys if you have tree care needs!"

"Thoroughly impressed. Extremely qualified and professional crew. Top not customer service. Better priced than anyone else who came to quote it. I will a million percent use Rich and his team again and will refer anyone in the area to SVTC!"

"This company is amazing! They clean up and you cannot even tell they were there! Thank you guys so much!"

"South Valley Tree Care is a small company that is extremely fair and reasonable vs the big guys in town. Personal and professional in all aspects of tree care. I work with them on all my rental properties to assure that tree removal and maintenance is achieved to prevent structure damage and promote good tree health thru well thought out pruning. Give them an opportunity. You wont be disappointed!"

"I can’t say enough positive things about this company, Justin White came to my home and was professional & courteous. He quoted a fair price and went above and beyond in the work that he completed for me. I will definitely use them again & I totally recommend them with zero hesitation!"

"Expertly removed a tree from the side of our home that was difficult to reach as it was located next to an 8' retaining wall, had power lines running right between the branches, and was close to the neighbors house. Cut several trees from our backyard, cleared up privet and wild brush, plus removed an old chain link fence the previous owners installed forty years ago. Also pointed out the dangers of a tree that our neighbor had close to our property line and removed the limbs hanging over our roof. They took great care of our property, cleaned up the debris, and charged a fair price for the project. We highly recommend them for your tree service needs."

"Excellent crew finished really quick and very professional"

"Richard and his crew cut down a 40 foot Bradford pear tree from my front yard. They had the tree down and my yard all cleaned up within a day."

"Bunch of good knowledgeable guys and very fair pricing."

"South Valley Tree Care did an amazing job cutting down lots of dead trees, several that they had to climb to make sure no property or other live trees were damaged. I was so impressed that they did not damage our grass (photo). They lowered each large limb to prevent dents in our grass. They were polite, professional and did a great job of cleaning the area after the trees were taken down. I would highly recommend them."

"Richard and his crew are an amazing group of guys. They did amazing work"

"Some of the best landscapers around. These guys don’t play they get work done with a smile on their face"

"These guys are experts. They removed 3 trees hanging over my house last year, and when a tree broke recently and a large limb came down on my roof - in a precarious position - they got it down in careful pieces and cleaned up the yard afterwards. They had to go up in a bucket to safely get it down. I highly recommend them, both for sound advice and excellent service. I'm already planning what they will need to do next summer! Another plus in my book was when they discovered a nest had come down of very tiny squirrels last summer, they had wildlife rescue here before the day was done."

"Great service, quality of work and excellent employees. They’re the best call them"

"Excellent Service and professionalism! I will be using them again in the future."

"The skill and expertise that Rich & Tim had left me knowing I made the right decision. From handling the heavy equipment to taking down trees it was a mix of hustle and calculated skill. I’ll definitely 💯 use them again the next time I need excavation or any type of tree 🌲 work!! Highly recommend this company for others that need either of these services!!"

"These guys are amazing! Went above and beyond! I would highly recommend them for any tree work you might have!"

"South Valley Tree Care was very professional and fair. Got a response immediately after contacting them about removing a tree off my property. Going to use them again in the future and highly recommend their services. They successfully removed the tree safely and in a timely manner. Thanks again guys"

"You get what you pay for… not true in this case, you get so much more. Tldr: tasks accomplished, safety maintained, debris removed, quote honored. The longer version: a tree fell on my mother's house. I called several tree businesses to get quotes but Southern Valley Tree Care was lower than the others, but why? Do they cut corners like say they will do something and then find a reason to change what you expect? No, they did all as promised and explained during price quote. Do they ignore safety? No, they appear to be very safe, from earplugs, safety lines, hands free communication systems. Did they leave a mess for me to clean up? No. They stacked some for firewood, put some in woods out of the way, and hauled off the rest. Could I have done the work myself, maybe, with a few weeks I might accomplish what they completed in a morning. The longest part in the process was setup. Lines ran from surrounding trees, pulleys, safety lines. When the work actually started it was a wonder to behold. The way limbs were removed, the tree raised, swung off house, then lowered to the ground for final cuts, it all happened very fast. Debris was removed before all of the lines and pulley could be taken down. A few months later I hired them to remove a tree and a brush pile from all of my DIY tree work. They brought their chipper and turned 5-6 years worth of unburned brush pile and a dying tree into a trailer load of mulch they hauled off. At my house, the property is much tighter, but they didn’t get into the neighbors yard at all. I don’t know what they said across their helmet walkie-talkie system, but I never heard any of them cuss."

"Rich is an incredible arborist"

"Great work. Shows up when they said they would. Got the job done quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use their services again when needed."

"Great company! Their whole staff is super professional and knowledgeable! Very affordable and quick. Will definitely use again."

"Able to go out same day to give us a quote for tree cutting of two large river birches, planted too close to our home. Was available quickly to complete the job and the job itself was done throughly. I will definitely recommend them in the future for anyone that I know needs tree removal."

"Showed up on time and was professional. Cut down some trees between my property and my neighbor’s property. Great pricing, got the work done when they said they would and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend South Valley Tree Care."

"They cut my nabors tree an was the most professional I have ever seen"
