Real Answers From a Certified Arborist
This resource center exists because most tree care information online isn’t written by anyone who actually climbs trees for a living. Every guide here reflects the same evaluation standard Shane Williams, an ISA Certified, TRAQ-qualified arborist, brings to every job site — not generic advice. You can verify Shane’s ISA certification directly through the International Society of Arboriculture’s public registry.

Beyond Tree Cutting: Expert Evaluation Services
Not every tree question ends in a chainsaw. These two services are built around Shane’s ISA and TRAQ credentials specifically — documented, professional evaluation rather than a quick estimate.
Tree Risk Assessment
A TRAQ-qualified evaluation gives you a documented, objective read on whether a tree is a genuine hazard — not a guess, and not an automatic upsell to removal.
Tree Inventory & Mapping
A documented catalog of the trees on your property — species, condition, and location — built for larger properties, HOAs, municipalities, and construction planning.
Popular Questions
Is a tree risk assessment necessary before removal?
Not always, but it’s recommended for large or declining trees near structures, since it documents whether removal is actually the right call.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage?
Emergency calls are prioritized; call 423-391-2206 for the fastest available response.
Do you serve areas outside of Johnson City?
Yes. While we’re based in Watauga, TN, our crew regularly works throughout the Tri-Cities region, including Kingsport, Bristol, Elizabethton, Jonesborough, and more than a dozen surrounding communities.
Can you handle commercial or municipal properties in addition to residential homes?
Yes. In addition to residential tree care, we work with property managers, HOAs, churches, schools, and municipal properties throughout Northeast Tennessee.
