From storm-battered oaks along Crowley's Ridge to pecan giants out on the delta flats, we remove, trim, and protect the trees that shade Craighead County. Tornado-tested crew — when the sirens sound, we're the ones who stayed.
24/7 emergency storm line. Average callback: under 20 minutes.
On March 28, 2020, an EF3 tornado tore a 12-mile path straight through Jonesboro, leveling the Mall at Turtle Creek, tossing vehicles, and ripping thousands of trees out of neighborhoods from Nettleton to the Ridge. Nobody who lived through that afternoon thinks tornado preparedness is a slogan. It's a checklist.
Trees are the single biggest source of storm damage to Northeast Arkansas homes — a mature water oak can weigh 15 tons, and when saturated delta soil lets go of the root plate, that mass lands wherever physics takes it. Our crew spent weeks after the 2020 storm cutting homeowners out of driveways, tarping punctured roofs, and clearing the tangled hardwoods that blocked Nettleton roads. That experience is why Jonesboro homeowners call us before storm season: we identify the leaners, the co-dominant trunks, the root-plate cracks, and the dead tops that become projectiles in a squall line — and we handle them on your schedule, not the storm's.
If a tree is already down on your house, car, or fence, call our 24/7 storm line. We triage emergency calls first, stabilize hanging limbs, and document everything for your insurance claim.
Jonesboro sits in a unique spot — the rolling, loess-capped uplands of Crowley's Ridge on our west side, and the flat, fertile Mississippi Alluvial Plain stretching east toward the Marked Tree. That split geography means two very different tree populations: hardwood forest on the ridge (oak, hickory, sweetgum, beech) and the big open-grown pecans and shade trees of the delta's farms and farmhouses. We work both, every week.
Safe, controlled removal of dead, dying, diseased, or dangerously placed trees — from cramped Nettleton backyards to open farmland. Rigging, cranes when needed, and full haul-away.
Tree removal →Weight reduction before storm season, canopy raising over roofs and lines, deadwooding, and correct pruning cuts that heal — no flush cuts, no torn bark, no lion-tailing.
Trimming & pruning →Grind stumps 6–12 inches below grade so you can replant, mow clean, or pour that patio. We chase surface roots too, and the chips stay or go — your call.
Stump grinding →Downed trees, limbs through roofs, blocked driveways — 24/7 response across Craighead County. We stabilize first, document for insurance, and clean up after.
Storm response →Fence rows, pasture reclamation, lot prep for new builds, and right-of-way clearing. Selective or full clearing, mulched or piled — sized for Craighead County acreage.
Land clearing →Co-dominant stems, included bark unions, veteran pecans worth saving — steel cable and brace-rod systems add decades of safe life to valuable trees you don't want to lose.
Cabling & bracing →Northeast Arkansas is pecan country. Pruning for nut production, storm-proofing old grove trees, lightning-rod protection for champion pecans, and care plans for homestead stands.
Pecan care →Storm brush, fallen limbs, or the growing pile from your own chainsaw weekend — we chip, load, and haul. One truck, one price, yard left clean.
Haul-away →Tornado-aware replanting after the 2020 losses — right species for Crowley's Ridge loess or delta clay, 811 locates handled, and root-flare planting done right.
Tree planting →Written, photographed evaluations: tornado scars, hanger limbs, honest pecan disease diagnosis, and risk reports for insurance and real estate.
Health assessment →Storm brush and DIY piles through the drum chipper, blown onto beds as mulch or hauled — chips stay or go, your call.
Chipping & mulching →Retail lots, office corridors, ASU-area rentals, and HOA common areas — COIs with every quote, after-hours work, scheduled canopy programs.
Commercial service →Sidewalk and driveway root conflicts resolved with 811 locates, clean cuts, and root barriers — tree stability always comes first.
Root pruning →Overgrown ligustrum walls, invasive honeysuckle, and storm-cracked shrubs dug out roots and all — plus replanting advice that fits the light.
Hedge & shrub removal →Builder-coordinated homesite clearing with keep-tree flagging and root-zone fencing — the good trees protected before the dozer arrives.
Lot clearing →Tree health questions, insurance inspections, pre-storm audits, arborist reports for real-estate transactions — if it involves a tree in Craighead County, ask us.
Ask us →Every week our trucks roll past landmarks you know: the century-old oaks shading the Arkansas State University quad before Red Wolves kickoff, the pecan rows along the farmland out Old Highway 49, the steep wooded bluffs where Crowley's Ridge drops toward the Cache River flats.
That local fluency matters practically. Trees on the ridge's wind-scoured west faces grow leaner and need different rigging than the big open-canopied pecans in the delta's deeper soils. Trees around ASU's campus and older Nettleton neighborhoods often overhang structures, fences, and power drops — removals there are puzzle work, not brute force. And after every spring squall line, the calls come in a predictable geography: ridge-top oaks snapped at old pruning wounds, delta trees toppled whole when rain-soaked ground met straight-line wind.
Whether it's one backyard sweetgum or a fencerow of storm-damaged hardwoods out by Bay, we quote honestly and show up when we say we will.
Our trucks run daily routes across the county: Jonesboro (all neighborhoods — Nettleton, Hilltop, Valley View, the Ridge Ave corridor, and around the ASU campus), Paragould and northern Greene County, and the fast-growing ridge-top towns to the west — Brookland, Bono, and Bay. East of Jonesboro we cover Trumann and the flat delta communities along Highway 63 and Highway 18, where wind exposure is the story.
Out in the county? Farms, hunting clubs, and rural homesteads are a big share of our work — acreage quotes are free and we'll drive the fence line with you.
Most single-tree removals in Jonesboro run $400–$1,500 depending on size, location, and rigging difficulty. Small backyard trees can come in under $400; large oaks over structures, or crane-assisted removals, can reach $2,000–$4,000. Stump grinding is usually $100–$300 extra. Every quote is free and on-site — we don't price trees over the phone and then surprise you.
Yes. When a tree is on a structure, blocking a driveway, or hanging over power lines, call (870) 555-0110 any hour. We triage emergencies first, stabilize the tree, tarp exposed areas if needed, and photograph everything for your insurance claim. Crews stayed out around the clock after the March 2020 tornado, and storm response remains core to what we do.
Yes — we carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and our climbers are trained in ANSI A300 pruning standards and Z133 safety practices. Proof of insurance is available with every quote. Tree work is one of the most dangerous trades in the country; never hire an uninsured "guy with a chainsaw" for anything but the smallest ground-level job.
Crowley's Ridge and the surrounding delta support water oak, willow oak, post oak, hickory, sweetgum, elm, and the region's signature pecan. The most common storm failures we see are water oaks (fast-growing, weak wood, included bark), Bradford pears (infamous splitters — we remove more of these than any other ornamental), and aged pecans with hollow trunks that homeowners don't want to lose but can't risk leaving over a roof.
We maintain the required clearance from energized lines and coordinate with Entergy Arkansas when a line must be de-energized. If a tree is entangled with lines, we stand off and wait for the utility — it's the law, and it's how our people go home safe. We'll handle everything on your side of the service drop.
Yes. A standard removal includes felling/climbing and dismantling, limb chipping, trunk cutting to firewood lengths (or full haul-away if you prefer), and a rake-and-blow cleanup. Stump grinding is quoted separately so you can choose. Nothing is left stacked at the curb unless you ask us to leave firewood.
Free on-site quotes across Craighead County. Honest advice — sometimes the answer is "trim, don't remove."
