Tree Removal
Our certified arborists safely remove hazardous, diseased, or unwanted trees using professional-grade equipment and industry best practices. We handle storm-damaged trees, power line proximity work, and complete stump grinding. Our process includes site assessment, hazard evaluation, and responsible debris disposal. We prioritize property protection and complete cleanup after every job, serving residential and commercial properties across East Tennessee.
Pruning
Professional pruning improves tree health, structure, and safety through targeted branch removal. Our certified arborists perform crown cleaning, thinning, and reduction while maintaining natural growth patterns. We follow seasonal best practices to enhance tree longevity and prevent storm damage. Our services address overgrowth, disease prevention, and aesthetic improvement for both residential and commercial properties in East Tennessee.
Lightning Protection
We install copper conductor systems to protect valuable trees from lightning strikes. Our certified arborists design custom solutions that channel electrical energy safely into the ground. This preserves historic trees, protects structures, and prevents fire hazards. System installation follows ANSI A300 standards with periodic maintenance recommendations to ensure long-term effectiveness across Loudon, Knox, and Blount Counties.
Disease Treatment
Our certified arborists diagnose and treat fungal infections, bacterial diseases, and pest infestations using eco-friendly solutions. We implement targeted treatments including fungicides, insecticides, and cultural practices to restore tree vitality. Our services include early detection of anthracnose, powdery mildew, and emerald ash borer infestations. We provide ongoing monitoring and preventive care plans for East Tennessee's native tree species.
Cabling & Support
We reinforce structurally weak trees using high-strength steel cables and braces. Our certified arborists install support systems for co-dominant stems, heavy limbs, and storm-damaged trees. This extends tree lifespan while reducing failure risks. We follow industry standards for material selection and installation techniques, ensuring minimal impact on tree growth while maintaining property safety across East Tennessee.

Report
Prees showed up here at 7:30 and by 2, they were cleaned up and gone. Had really good equipment and three workers who worked very well together. Communicated with headsets and safety seemed to be a priority. Left almost no debris at all, and stacked some logs for me to use for firewood. Price was right in line with two other quotes that I had gotten. Will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for tree work.

I would recommend using Prees to everyone! The level of work they do is amazing and above what the competition does. The crew that comes out to your home is professional, extreemly friendly and helpful. Clean up is always perfect. Their equipment they use is top notch! They can do removals with a crane which is beyond amazing to see. If you have not called and gotten an estimate I highly recommend you do! They have many Arborists on staff to ensure excellence in their work as well as educating customers. Great work Prees! I could not ever imagine using anyone else!!

These guys are the real deal. Very polite and professional, and cleaned everything up after they were done with our tree trimming! The trees look great and will continue to for years to come. I will definitely be calling them again when we're ready for removal. Thanks again guys!

Pree's Trees came out to cut down the burned trees we incurred during the Gatlinburg fire. The price was fair. They showed on time. The crew was hardworking and courteous. The clean up job was excellent! They provided professional service in every way! We would definitely use them again. Kudos to Ben and the Pree's Tree Service crew!
