Tree Health

As mighty as your trees are, they have health needs. A healthy tree will show plenty of new leaves or buds, have normal leaf size, and show signs of twig growth.

 
There are many reasons a tree may be unhealthy: storm damage, drought, disease, and pests can all cause wilting, broken branches, cavities, cracks, and holes in your trunk and limbs.
 
Cracked or heaving soil or largely exposed roots can signify a dangerous tree on your property.

Tree and Property Safety

There’s no way around it. Tree removal and other tree services are dangerous!

 

When your trees are tall, you need special equipment to reach the top of them to remove dangerous branches. Simply climbing the tree or balancing a ladder against it is not a safe option!

 

Tree Removal takes a lot of experience and expertise. Much can go wrong when cutting down or removing a tree. Scrappy Creek understands how to cut down a tree safely without harming your property.

 

We have the tools and knowledge to ensure your property is never damaged during tree removal and that you and everyone in your home remains safe.

How Can We Help with Your Tree Care Needs?

Tree Removal

The largest chunk of our business is tree removal. We can remove one tree or clear your property as needed. We understand exactly how to remove trees safely without affecting your structures.

Dangerous Limb Removal

Tree Care professionals can tell when a tree limb will be a danger to your property. Certain branches are just a storm away from crashing down onto a car or roof! We remove these limbs as needed.

Stump Removal

Some tree companies leave the stump behind.  Not us! We make sawdust of stumps with our stump grinder.

If left untouched, a stump and roots will start to rot and become a home for pests.
Even if trees are not your problem, call us for your stump removal!

Pruning

Tree pruning isn’t just for dangerous limbs. It also improves trees' health. We cut off sick, dead, or dangerous limbs to keep your trees healthy and your property safe.

Cutting, Splitting and (Optional) Hauling

Of course, cutting down a tree is only half the work. What do you do with it afterward? We cut and split the wood on your property and if you like, leave it for your use. Otherwise, we haul it away. Someone else always needs fire wood!

About Scrappy Creek

Our goal is to provide our customers with quality service.  We strive to create a long-term relationship with our clients based on prompt workmanship, service, and performance.

We offer the highest level of communication, safety, honesty, and professionalism with every tree we climb, fell, trim, cut up, and remove from your property.

Owners Mark and Carabae got the tree service bug when they bought their current home in the mountains. To properly settle in they needed to cut down some trees. They fell in love with the rush of trees falling, the sound of the chainsaw, and working outdoors!

They named their property Scrappy Creek after their first dog Scrappy. Mark, Carabae, Scrappy, and Idgie live at Scrappy Creek currently and named the company for that.

"Our favorite tree is the Oak. It's the biggest, prettiest, has the hardest wood, and is most majestic! There’s plenty of room to climb in the branches."

They did everything in timely manner! They came to look at our tree one afternoon, but it ended up being such a windy day that it would have been unsafe to work on, so they more than willingly showed back up  the very next day. They were prompt, professional, and they did a great job. We have already recommended them to several people and will continue to do so!

Julie C

They were very efficient, did a wonderful job cleaning up after themselves, and they were very reasonably priced; I couldn’t find anybody to do this work at a better price! I give them 5 Stars!
