Tree Removal and Stump Grinding in Knoxville | Full Service from Pro Tree

A Knoxville homeowner had an aging tree in the backyard that was leaning slightly and dropping limbs. The roots were starting to affect nearby concrete, and the homeowner wanted it gone—stump and all.

The Challenge

The tree was close to a patio and a shed, and the yard had tight access for large equipment. Removing the tree and grinding the stump would require careful planning to avoid damaging the property.

How We Handled It

Our team used a climber and rope system to safely dismantle the tree in controlled sections. Once the tree was fully removed, we brought in our stump grinder and cleared the root zone below grade. The area was cleaned, leveled, and prepped for future landscaping.

“Pro Tree removed the tree and the stump in one day. They protected our patio and didn’t leave a single root behind. It was quick, clean, and totally worth it.”

The Results

The yard is now safe, smooth, and easy to mow. The homeowner plans to install a fire pit in the cleared space—and no longer has to worry about tripping hazards or root damage.

Knoxville Tree Fact

Removing the stump after a tree comes down helps prevent root rot, pest infestations, and trip hazards—especially in high-traffic backyards.

Pro Tip from the Crew

Don’t skip stump grinding. Leaving the roots can cause sinkholes, mower damage, and fungal issues that spread to healthy trees.
