Memphis is a little over an hour from our yard in Jonesboro, straight down US-63 to I-55, which puts Shelby County well inside the range we travel for crane work and large storm jobs. We are not the crew you call for a $250 limb trim across the state line — we are the crew Memphis property owners call when a 90-foot water oak is leaning over a roof in Midtown and the local bids all came back with a climber, three days of labor, and a plan that involves dropping wood into a small yard.

Memphis has a canopy problem most cities do not: enormous mature oaks, sweetgums, and pines planted a century ago in neighborhoods like Central Gardens, High Point Terrace, and East Memphis, where the houses are close together, the alleys are narrow, and there is nowhere to drop timber. Add the region's straight-line wind events and periodic ice storms, and you get exactly the kind of high-risk, low-access removal a tree-extraction crane was built for. We stage from the street or the driveway, reach over the structure, and lift wood out in controlled picks.

What we do in Memphis

Every service below is available in Memphis and throughout Shelby County, Tennessee at the same crew, equipment, and documentation standard we bring to Jonesboro jobs.

Storm-cracked, rotted, or leaning trees that are unsafe to climb — exactly what the crane exists for.

Trees on structures, blocked driveways, and hanging limbs after Shelby County wind and ice events.

04

Debris Removal & Haul-Away

Full haul-off with documented loads for insurance and property-manager reporting.

05

Commercial & Multi-Property Work

Apartment complexes, churches, and commercial sites needing several trees handled in one visit.

Full service details

The crane difference

Most Memphis tree companies rent a crane when a job demands one, which means the schedule bends around the rental company. Our crane is on staff and rolls with our own operator and rigging crew, so a Memphis job gets the same-day-of-work certainty a Jonesboro job gets. For trees over garages, pools, fences, and shared property lines — the standard Memphis situation — lifting is the difference between a clean removal and a claim.

Storm response in Shelby County, Tennessee

Shelby County wind and ice events generate more work than local crews can absorb in the first 72 hours, which is why out-of-area capacity matters. Our owner has worked FEMA-scale debris operations, so we document loads, work with adjusters, and understand large-volume debris handling. For Memphis we prioritize structural emergencies — trees on houses, blocked access, and hanging limbs over occupied space — then return for the cleanup phase.
