Tree Service in Greenville, MS

Five years doing tree work in Washington County means I've seen what water oak does before a storm reveals it, what cottonwood roots do to a driveway over time, and how fast a Delta severe weather event turns a manageable situation into an emergency. Most estimates are turned around the same day. If there's an active hazard, call so I can ask a few details and talk through the next step directly.

If a tree is overhanging the roof, dropping limbs, leaning after a storm, or needs to come down before the next severe weather season — call (662) 443-4529 or fill out the form below with your address and a short description of what's going on.

About Greenville Tree Service

Hi, I'm Darnell — I've been doing tree work across Greenville and Washington County for over five years, and most of the jobs I take are within a short drive of where I live.

I started this company because when a storm drops a tree on a roof at 9 PM, the last thing a Greenville homeowner needs is a regional call center putting them on a list. I live here. I pick up. And I'm on site the next morning — not when the out-of-area crew gets around to routing through Washington County.

Every job I run myself. I show up for the estimate, I show up for the work, and I don't leave a property with debris I haven't cleared. If a tree I'm looking at has a problem beyond what was called in, I'll tell you — no upsell, just a straight assessment.

Call or fill out the form and I'll get back to you directly.

Why Greenville Property Owners Choose Us

Storm damage emergency tree removal in Greenville Mississippi Washington County Delta severe weather water oak on residential roof Darnell

Most tree companies that serve Washington County are generalists — they'll remove a tree but they don't know why water oak in particular drops limbs with no warning, why cottonwood roots undercut driveways, or why sweetgum stumps resprout if they're not properly ground. Darnell does.

Here's what makes this service different:

Delta species knowledge. Water oak, cottonwood, and sweetgum behave differently than the tree species most contractors trained on. Knowing which trees are actually hazardous versus which just look big, and knowing where Delta clay soil creates root instability that isn't visible from the outside — that's the difference between an accurate assessment and a guess.

Emergency availability. When a storm drops a tree on a roof at 9 PM, you need someone local who picks up the phone. Not a regional call center. Not a next-morning callback. Darnell answers after-hours emergency calls and prioritizes active hazards.

7:30 AM start time. Earlier than most. For pre-storm season work or post-storm cleanup that needs to happen before the next round of weather moves in — this matters.

No debris left behind. Cleanup and haul-out is included in the job price. The yard looks like the tree was never there.

What Does Tree Service Cost in Greenville, MS?

Tree service pricing in Greenville depends on the type of work, the species and size of the tree, and proximity to structures or power lines. Here are honest ballpark ranges for the most common jobs:

  • Tree trimming (per tree): $150–$500
  • Tree removal — small to mid-size: $300–$800
  • Tree removal — large water oak or cottonwood: $800–$1,500
  • Tree removal — over structures or requiring rigging: priced on assessment
  • Stump grinding (per stump): $100–$300
  • Stump grinding (multiple stumps): discounted — call for quote
  • Emergency storm response: priced by scope — call (662) 443-4529
  • Lot clearing: priced by acreage and debris volume

These ranges assume standard access. Trees in tight locations, over structures, or requiring crane or bucket truck work may run higher — I'll tell you upfront at the estimate.

I give free on-site estimates — call (662) 443-4529 or fill out the form and I'll come out and give you a straight number based on what I actually see.

Tree Services

Whether you need routine trimming, a full removal, stump grinding, or emergency response after a storm, here's what I handle for homeowners and property owners across Greenville and Washington County.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Routine trimming keeps trees healthy, reduces limb failure risk, and prevents branches from reaching rooflines, power lines, and neighboring structures. In the Delta, water oak and pecan in particular benefit from regular crown thinning — both species are prone to deadwood buildup that becomes a liability in storm season. I trim to proper cut points, not just to get the job done fast.

Best for: overhanging branches near roofs or power lines, deadwood removal, trees that have grown into structures, routine maintenance before storm season

Tree Removal

For trees that are dead, structurally compromised, storm-damaged, or simply too close to a structure to manage safely going forward. Delta clay soil means large trees near homes often have shallower root systems than they appear — a leaning tree here is a more urgent problem than it would be in better-draining soil. I assess the full removal scope before quoting so there are no surprises on the day of the job.

Best for: dead or dying trees, trees leaning toward structures, post-storm removal, trees that have outgrown their location

Stump Grinding

After a removal, the stump is still a problem — it's a tripping hazard, it attracts termites and wood-boring insects, and it prevents the area from being used or replanted. I grind stumps to below grade so the area can be filled, sodded, or built over. Cottonwood and sweetgum stumps in particular resprout aggressively if left untreated — grinding is the only reliable solution.

Best for: stumps left from previous removals, multiple stumps on a property, stumps near driveways or walkways, areas being prepared for new landscaping or construction

See our stump grinding page →

Emergency Storm Response

When a severe storm drops a tree on a roof, blocks a driveway, or leaves a large limb hanging over a structure, it needs to be dealt with the same day — not when a regional crew gets around to routing through Greenville. I answer emergency calls after hours and prioritize active hazards. Washington County sees significant severe weather every spring and summer; I'm local, I'm available, and I know how to work fast without making the situation worse.

Best for: trees or limbs on roofs or structures, downed trees blocking driveways or roads, storm-damaged trees with hanging limbs, post-storm cleanup

See emergency tree service →

Hazard Assessment

For situations where the tree doesn't look obviously dangerous but something is off — a lean that wasn't there before, cracks in the trunk after a storm, root heaving near the base, or a tree that's been declining for a season or two. I walk the tree, assess the risk, and give you a straight answer about whether it needs to come down, can be trimmed back to a safer form, or just needs monitoring.

Best for: trees with new leans or cracks, post-storm assessment of trees that didn't fall, trees near structures that have been declining, pre-season safety checks before storm season

Lot Clearing & Debris Removal

For vacant lots, overgrown properties, acreage that needs clearing, or post-storm cleanup that involves multiple trees and debris piles. Common in Washington County for investment properties, estate sales, and agricultural parcels where the tree situation has been neglected for years.

Best for: vacant or neglected lots, full property clearing, multi-tree storm cleanup, acreage and agricultural land

What Greenville Property Owners Say

“Had a big oak dropping limbs over the carport after a storm came through. Called in the morning and had a callback within a couple hours. They came out, assessed it, and had it handled before the next round of weather moved in.”
Marcus T., Greenville MS
“Tree next to the house had been leaning for two seasons and I kept putting it off. They gave me a straight answer on whether it needed to come down or just be trimmed back. No upsell, just honest assessment. Work was clean and they hauled everything off.”
Brenda K., Greenville MS
“Used them for routine trimming on three trees in the backyard. Showed up on time, worked fast, and cleaned up after themselves. Neighbors already asked me who I used.”
Roy D., Leland MS

Frequently asked questions

How much does tree removal cost in Greenville, MS?

Most single tree removals in Greenville run between $300 and $1,200 depending on the tree's size, species, location relative to structures, and whether stump grinding is included. Large water oak or cottonwood removals near a home typically land in the $800–$1,500 range. I give free on-site estimates — call (662) 443-4529 or fill out the form and I'll come out and give you a real number based on the actual tree.

How much does tree trimming cost in Greenville, MS?

Most trimming jobs in Greenville run between $150 and $500 per tree depending on size, species, and how much deadwood or overgrowth needs to be cleared. Pecan and water oak trimming — the most common requests in Washington County — typically fall in the $200–$400 range for a mature tree. I give free estimates and can often assess the scope on the phone with a few details and a photo.

Do you handle emergency tree removal after storms?

Yes. If a storm drops a tree on your roof, blocks your driveway, or leaves a large limb hanging over a structure, call (662) 443-4529 directly. I answer after-hours emergency calls and prioritize active hazards. Washington County sees significant severe weather each spring — I'm local and available when the regional crews are booked out for weeks.

What tree species cause the most problems in the Greenville area?

Water oak is the most common call I get. It drops large limbs with little warning — often with no visible signs of decay — and is widespread throughout Greenville's older residential neighborhoods. Cottonwood grows fast, roots aggressively, and can undercut driveways and foundations. Sweetgum drops heavy debris loads and resprouts from stumps if not properly ground. Pecan is generally well-behaved but becomes a liability when it's overhanging a roof and hasn't been trimmed in years.

Why are large trees near Delta homes a bigger concern than in other areas?

Delta clay soil is heavy and poorly draining, which means tree roots tend to spread laterally rather than anchoring deep. Large trees near structures in Washington County often have shallower root systems than they appear, which makes them more susceptible to uprooting in severe wind events. If you have a large water oak or cottonwood within falling distance of your home and it hasn't been assessed recently, it's worth a look before storm season.

How quickly can I get an estimate or appointment?

Most estimate requests get a same-day or next-day callback. For routine trimming and removal jobs I can usually schedule within the week. For active hazards or post-storm situations, call directly — I prioritize those and can often respond the same day.

Do you cover areas outside Greenville?

Yes. I regularly cover Leland, Hollandale, and nearby Washington County addresses. I also take jobs in Indianola and Cleveland when the project size makes sense for the route. If you're not sure whether your property is covered, call or mention your location in the form.

Do I need to be home during the tree work?

Not necessarily. For most trimming and removal jobs, property access and a number to reach me at is all that's needed. For larger jobs with access questions or tight clearances near structures, it helps to walk the property together first. I'll confirm the plan at the estimate stage.

Do you haul away debris and wood after the job?

Yes — debris cleanup and haul-out is included in the job price unless we discuss otherwise. I don't leave brush piles or log sections on the property. If you want to keep wood for firewood, let me know at the estimate stage and I'll cut and stack it instead of hauling.

What should I include when requesting a quote?

The most useful details are your address, the species and approximate size of the tree if you know it, what the concern is (overhang, storm damage, removal, etc.), and whether the tree is close to a structure, power line, or fence. Photos are helpful but not required. Even just your address and a description of what you're seeing is enough to get started.
