All American Tree Service is a full-service arborist operation based in the Chattanooga area that handles tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm damage cleanup for residential and commercial properties across Hamilton County and surrounding areas.
All American operates as a locally owned company with crews equipped for jobs ranging from routine maintenance on mature oaks and hickories common to Chattanooga's tree canopy to emergency removal of trees damaged by the severe spring storms the region experiences. The company holds current licensing and insurance, which matters when a falling tree can reach a house, power line, or neighboring property. They work year-round, with particular demand during storm season (March through May) when weather-related damage drives emergency call volume high enough that response times can extend beyond same-day service during peak weeks.
All American quotes removal jobs individually based on tree size, location, and hazard level. A typical residential removal of a medium oak or maple (40 to 60 feet, moderate access) runs between $800 and $1,800; larger or hazard-tree removals can exceed $2,500. Stump grinding adds $150 to $400 depending on stump diameter and root spread. Trimming and pruning, charged by the hour or by the job, typically fall in the $60 to $150 per hour range; many routine trim jobs run $400 to $800. Storm cleanup (limb removal, debris hauling) is quoted by volume and urgency; emergency rates apply outside standard business hours.
Prices shift with seasonal demand and wood market conditions, so confirm current quotes directly before budgeting.
Chattanooga has several established tree services. Forterra Tree Care, also local, often quotes competitive removal prices but specializes in high-end residential work and property preservation; they tend to suit owners willing to pay a premium for meticulous cleanup and detailed site work. Arbor Pro, another regional option, emphasizes certified arborists and focuses on health assessments and preventive pruning, making them the go-to for property owners invested in long-term tree care rather than one-time removal. All American sits in the middle: they handle the full spectrum of jobs, including emergency work, without the boutique positioning of Forterra or the arborist-heavy approach of Arbor Pro. Choose All American if you need straightforward removal and cleanup at standard market rates; choose Forterra if the final appearance of your yard matters more than speed; choose Arbor Pro if you want advice on preserving trees long-term.
All American serves homeowners with multiple trees to remove or trim, landlords managing rental properties, and commercial clients (retail centers, offices) needing regular maintenance or post-storm cleanup. They work well for projects where timeline is reasonable and budget is moderate. They are less ideal if you have a single small tree, a tight deadline during peak storm season, or if you want a detailed landscape plan afterward; in those cases, Forterra or a general landscaper might be better matches.
Call for a free estimate. A crew member or estimator visits the property, assesses tree size and condition, notes hazards (proximity to structures, power lines, underground utilities), and provides a written quote. Turnaround on estimates is typically 2 to 5 business days in normal season, longer during spring storms. Once you accept, scheduling depends on the job type and current backlog; routine trims may be scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks, while removals often require 2 to 4 weeks unless marked urgent.
All American operates Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. standard hours, with emergency services available for storm damage (confirm current emergency protocols when you call). They handle hauling and chipping on-site in most cases, so you do not need to arrange debris removal separately. Confirm their specific service area (they may not travel beyond 20 to 30 minutes from the city center) before assuming they cover your address.
All American Tree Service holds the standard place in Chattanooga's tree-care market for crews that handle volume work competently and without pretense. If you need a tree down or branches cleared, they will get it done.
