Tree Service in Jonesboro, AR, Priced Before We Leave the Yard
Jonesboro Master Tree Service is the tree service in Jonesboro, AR you call when a tree has to come down, get smaller or stop scraping the roof. We take out dead and leaning trees, trim limbs back off houses and the wire to your meter, thin big crowns before storm season and grind the stumps when we're done. I'll stand in your yard, look up at the tree with you and write the number on the quote before I leave. That's it. No callback, no "we'll email you something."
Fair warning: we'll give you two prices. One with full cleanup, and a cheaper down-only price if you've got a trailer and want the wood. Our four-person crew runs a bucket truck, ropes and pulleys, and a crane when a big oak leans over the house. We're fully insured, and when the sirens go off in May our storm crews work around the clock. Around 140 storm calls in the last 12 months, worst ones first.
"Most trees that fall on houses gave a warning first. A dead limb, a crack, a lean that got worse. I'd rather catch it on a Tuesday walk-through than at 2 a.m."

Residential Tree Services in Jonesboro: Removal & Trimming
Most of the calls we get fall into these twelve jobs. Some are big, like a water oak over a bedroom. Some are one limb rubbing the gutter. We ground around 600 stumps last year alone. Every job starts the same way: I come out, we look, you get a written price.
Tree Removal
We take down whole trees that are dead, dying, leaning or just in the wrong spot. Out in an open yard we drop the tree in one piece. Next to a house we take it apart from the top, which is slower and safer. HomeGuide puts most removals at $400 to $1,200 in 2026. See tree removal in Jonesboro.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Trimming keeps a tree you like healthy and off your roof. We cut limbs back from the house, take out branches that cross and rub, and shape young trees so they grow a strong frame. Most trims run $400 to $900 a tree. Honestly, late fall and winter are the sweet spot, with the leaves down. More on tree trimming.
Stump Grinding
A stump grinder chews the stump into wood chips. We go 6-12 inches below the dirt and grind the big surface roots you trip over, then fill the hole with the grindings or topsoil. Leaving a stump is like leaving a fence post in the middle of a hayfield. You'll mow around it for twenty years. Stump grinding prices.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning takes out some branches all through the canopy so wind slides through instead of shoving the whole tree. Think of opening the windows in a hot farmhouse. A thinned tree catches less wind in a storm and lets grass grow under it again. We never take more than about a quarter of the leaves in one visit.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction makes a tree smaller the right way: we cut limbs back to a side branch that can take over. It's the fix for a healthy tree that's grown into the house or the wires. Chopping the top off is a different thing, called tree topping, and we won't do it. It grows back weak and messy.
Deadwooding
Deadwooding is cutting out the dead, dying and broken branches. Dead limbs dry out, get brittle and drop in the first good wind, sometimes on a calm day. The water oaks and pecans in older neighborhoods pile up a lot of it. We usually pair it with a trim, since the bucket truck is already up there.
Dead Tree Removal
A dead tree gets worse every month as the wood dries out and rots from the inside. Climbing one isn't safe, so we work it from the bucket truck or bring a crane. Dead pines should come down before the next storm season. Fair warning: a dead tree often costs more to take down than a live one.
Large Tree Removal
Big trees near houses come down in pieces. The climber or the bucket truck cuts each section and ropes lower it to the ground, a method called sectional removal. It's like unloading a grain cart at the edge of the field: slow at the lip, or it spills everywhere. Trees over 60 feet usually run $850 to $2,000.
Crane Tree Removal
When a tree hangs over the roof and there's nowhere to lower the pieces, we call in a crane. It holds each section while we cut and sets it down in the yard or the street. The crane day costs more. It often saves a full day of rope work, and your roof never feels a thing.
Tree Limb Removal
Sometimes it's just one limb: hanging over the roof, broken and caught up in the tree, or rubbing the gutter every time the wind blows. We take single limbs off without touching the rest. Please don't yank a hanging broken limb down yourself. Those land wherever they want.
Tree Trimming Near Power Lines
The wire from the pole to your house is your side to keep clear. We trim branches back from that service drop and off your roof. The lines up on the poles belong to City Water and Light, Entergy Arkansas or the co-op, and they trim those themselves. We'll tell you exactly who to call.
Storm Cleanup
After a storm we cut up downed trees, pull limbs off roofs and driveways and haul the mess away. Photos before the first cut, every time, because the adjuster wasn't standing in your yard at 2 a.m. In severe weather our crews run day and night. See emergency tree removal.
Specialty Tree Services and Emergency Tree Removal
These are the jobs with a deadline, and the weather usually sets it. Ice season and May storm season keep our phones busy.
Emergency Tree Removal
A tree on the house, on a car or across the driveway needs a crew fast. We put the worst calls first, take weight off the roof carefully and tarp what we can. Emergency work often costs 2 to 3 times a normal removal. See our emergency tree removal page.
Tree on House Removal
Stay off the roof and out from under the trunk, and move people to the other end of the house. Then call. We take the weight off a little at a time with ropes or a crane, so the tree doesn't punch a second hole on its way out, and we photograph every bit of it for the adjuster.
Ice Storm Tree Damage
Freezing rain coats every limb, and a heavy coat is like hanging a full five-gallon bucket off the end of each branch. Pines, Bradford pears and silver maples snap first. The January 2009 ice storm cut power to about 300,000 homes in northern Arkansas. We clear broken tops and hangers and tell you which trees can recover.
Storm-Damaged Tree Stabilization
Some storm-hit trees can be saved. We prune the broken parts and can brace a split trunk or limb so it holds. If a tree is too far gone, we say so. A cracked trunk over a bedroom shouldn't be left standing.
Down-Only Tree Removal
Down-only means we drop the tree safely and leave the logs and brush for you. We think it's an honest option. If you heat with wood or have a trailer and a strong teenager, keep the money. We price both ways on the same quote.
Recent jobs
Tree Removal and Trimming Jobs Around Jonesboro
Three jobs from the last year. We take down a lot of trees, and grind around 600 stumps a year, and these three are about as typical as it gets.
Dying Maple Between a House and a Carport
- Sectional removal
- Rigging
- 1 day
A dying maple stood a few feet from the house, with a neighbor's carport right on the other side. No room to drop anything. We took it down from the top in short pieces, lowered every one on a rope and left nothing behind, not even the twigs.
Six Trees Near Structures
- 6 removals
- Bucket truck
- 3 days
Six trees, all close to the house or an outbuilding. We spread it over three days and cleaned up every evening so the family could still park and the kids could still play. The bucket truck did most of the heavy lifting.
Old Sweetgum in Lake City
- 39-year-old sweetgum
- Full cleanup
- 3 hours
A 39-year-old sweetgum that dropped spiky seed balls all over the lawn. Down, chipped and raked in about three hours. The homeowner said the best part was not stepping on gumballs barefoot anymore.

Commercial Tree Service in Jonesboro
Homes are most of our work. We also work for business owners, landlords and builders, and most commercial jobs are a handful of trees, not a forest.
Business and Retail Lots
We trim trees off signs and parking lot lights and remove dead ones before they drop on a car. We can work early so the lot is clear when you open.
Rental and Property Management
Landlords and property managers call us between tenants or after a storm. We send photos and a written price, so you can approve it from your desk.
Contractors and Builders
Builders need trees out of a footprint or a driveway path before work starts. We take them down and grind the stumps so the dirt crew can get going.
Churches, Schools and HOAs
Big old trees on church grounds and common areas need regular deadwooding and the odd removal. We work around services and school hours. See our commercial tree service page.

Tell us what the tree is doing and where it stands. Is it over the house or the driveway? A phone photo saves a lot of guessing.
We walk the yard with you
I come out and we look at it together: the lean, the dead wood, what's underneath and where the pieces can land.
Written quote on the spot

The work
Pads go under the trucks, ropes go up, and the climber or the bucket truck goes to work exactly as quoted.

Why homeowners pick us
Why We're the Tree Service Jonesboro Homeowners Call
15+ Years of Tree Work in Jonesboro and Northeast Arkansas
I've stood in a lot of yards where the same three trees cause all the trouble: water oaks, sweetgums and loblolly pine. We've spent more than 15 years cutting them, so we know which way they want to fall and where they break first.
A Written Tree Removal Quote Before We Leave
No phone prices for a tree nobody's seen. I walk the yard, look at what's under the tree and write it all down, like a seed ticket at the co-op: what you ordered, what it costs, both names on it. Usually inside 30 minutes.
The Right Equipment for Trees Near Houses
A bucket truck, climbing gear, ropes and pulleys, and a crane on the tight jobs. Most of the scary removals in town aren't scary because of the tree. They're scary because the wrong equipment showed up.
Fully Insured Tree Service
We're fully insured for your property and our crew. Ask any company for proof before they start the saw, us included. A guy with a chainsaw and a pickup is cheaper right up until a limb goes through the garage.
Clean Yards and Clear Communication
We lay pads under the trucks so the yard doesn't rut, tidy up every evening on multi-day jobs and walk the property with you at the end. Our 75+ five-star reviews mostly talk about two things, cleanup and communication, and we'd like to keep it that way.

What Jonesboro Homeowners Say About Our Tree Service
Darla M.
September 2026Two big water oaks over the back of the house came down without a scratch on the roof. They lowered every piece on ropes. Yard looked better when they left than when they came.
Tree removal, south Jonesboro Travis H.
August 2026Got a price on the spot, written down, and they gave me a cheaper number to leave the wood since I burn it. Showed up when they said.
Down-only removal, Brookland Kendra W.

Storm cleanup, Jonesboro Ron P.
April 2026Trimmed three trees off the roof and the power line to the house. Good work, fair price. Took a little longer to get on the schedule than I hoped, but it was spring.
Tree trimming, Bono Megan S.

Tree Service FAQ for Jonesboro Homeowners
Ask us a questionHow much does tree service cost in Jonesboro?
Most tree removals cost $400 to $1,200 and most trims $400 to $900 per tree, based on HomeGuide's 2026 figures. Small trees can be $200, and a big oak over the house with a crane can pass $2,000. We write the exact price on site after looking at the tree.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Jonesboro?
For a tree that's fully on your own lot, most Jonesboro homeowners we work with haven't needed a city permit. Trees in the street right-of-way, under HOA rules or on commercial sites can need approval, and lines on the pole are the utility's job first. Check with the city if unsure, and we'll flag anything we spot.
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?
Usually only when the tree falls on a covered structure like the house, garage or a fence. Policies often pay $500 to $1,000 per tree for removal in that case. Removing a healthy or dead tree before it falls is normally your cost. Your adjuster decides, so we take photos before cutting.
When is the best time to trim trees in Arkansas?
Late fall through late winter is the best time to trim most trees around Jonesboro. The leaves are down, so we can see weak forks and dead limbs, and the tree heals fast in spring. Trimming before ice season also takes weight off limbs that could break. Dead or hanging limbs can come off any time.
What does down-only tree removal mean?
Down-only means we cut the tree down safely and leave the logs and brush in your yard. You save the cost of hauling and chipping. It's popular with people who burn wood or have a trailer. Full cleanup means we haul everything and rake the yard. We quote both.
How long does it take to remove a tree?
A single tree usually takes us two to six hours, cleanup included. A big oak beside the house, cut down piece by piece on ropes, can eat a whole day. Several trees or a crane job can stretch to two or three days. The written quote says how long we expect to be in your yard.
What should I do if a tree falls on my house?
Move everybody to the far side of the house and keep off the roof. If a wire is down or touching the tree, stay clear and call the power company first. Snap photos, ring your insurance agent, then call us. We lift the trunk off in short sections, tarp what we can and photograph the damage.
Can you grind the stump the same day the tree comes down?
Usually, yes. If the stump grinder is free and the stump is reachable, we grind it the same day as the removal. Otherwise we come back within a few days. We grind 6-12 inches below the ground and leave the hole filled with grindings or topsoil.
