Frequently Asked Questions
Tree Service can be complex, and weโre here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
The cost of tree service in Jonesboro depends on several factors including tree size, location on your property, proximity to power lines or structures, and the type of service needed. A simple trimming job on a small tree might run a few hundred dollars, while removing a large oak near your home could cost significantly more. We always provide free on-site estimates because every job in Northeast Arkansas is different. The heavy clay soils here in Craighead County can affect root systems and removal complexity, so we assess each situation individually before quoting a price.
In most cases, you do not need a permit for basic tree trimming or removal on your own property in Jonesboro. However, if the tree is near a public right-of-way, utility easement, or if your property falls within certain zoning overlay districts, you may need approval from the City of Jonesboro Planning Department. Trees near power lines require coordination with Craighead Electric Cooperative or Entergy Arkansas. We handle all the coordination and can advise you on any local requirements before work begins.
The best time for tree trimming in Jonesboro is during the dormant season, typically late fall through early spring. Trimming during winter months reduces stress on the tree and minimizes the risk of disease transmission. That said, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. For storm preparation in Northeast Arkansas, we recommend scheduling trimming before our severe weather season kicks in around March to reduce the risk of limb failure during spring storms and summer thunderstorms.
Signs that a tree needs professional attention include visible dead branches, mushroom growth at the base, cracks or splits in the trunk, leaning that has progressed over time, and root damage from construction or soil erosion. In Jonesboro, our clay-heavy soils can cause root heaving during wet seasons, which destabilizes mature trees. If you notice any of these warning signs, especially after a storm, it is worth having a professional assessment done before the situation becomes an emergency.
Yes, we carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for every crew member. Tree work is inherently dangerous, and working with an uninsured company puts your property and finances at serious risk. If an uninsured worker is injured on your property, you could be held liable. We are happy to provide proof of insurance before any job begins. We also coordinate with local utility providers when working near power lines to ensure safe operations throughout Jonesboro and Northeast Arkansas.
After a tree is removed, you have a few options for the stump. We can grind it down below ground level, which is the most common and cost-effective approach. The wood chips left behind can be used as mulch or we can haul them away and backfill with topsoil. In Jonesboro's clay soil, we typically recommend grinding at least eight to ten inches below grade to allow for proper settling and future landscaping. If you plan to replant in the same spot, we can grind deeper and amend the soil to give your new tree the best start.
We prioritize emergency calls and aim to respond as quickly as possible, often within hours of your call. During major storm events in Northeast Arkansas, demand surges and response times may be longer, but we triage calls based on safety risk. Trees on structures, blocking roadways, or tangled in power lines get top priority. We maintain our equipment year-round so we are always ready when severe weather hits Jonesboro and Craighead County.
In most cases, homeowners insurance covers tree removal when a tree falls on an insured structure like your house, garage, or fence. If a tree falls in your yard but does not damage a structure, coverage varies by policy. We recommend contacting your insurance agent immediately after storm damage occurs. Our team can document the damage with photos and provide detailed invoices that insurance companies accept for claims processing.
First, make sure everyone is safe and evacuate if there is structural damage. Do not go under or near the fallen tree. Call us immediately and then contact your insurance company. Avoid entering rooms where the tree has penetrated the roof as structural integrity may be compromised. We will secure the scene, carefully remove the tree, and tarp any roof openings to prevent further water damage until permanent repairs can be made.
Yes, storm cleanup is a core part of our emergency services. After severe weather events in Jonesboro, we clear fallen trees and debris from properties, driveways, and access points. We have worked alongside utility crews and first responders following major storm events in Craighead County.

They took down two large oaks that were leaning toward our roof. Professional crew, fair price, and they left our yard cleaner than they found it. Will definitely call them again for any tree work.

After the last big storm knocked a tree onto our fence, they were out the next morning. Fast response, careful work around the power lines, and they handled everything with our insurance company. Highly recommend.
