Our Story
Chattanooga Tree Care Pros was founded in 2008 by Tom Reeves, a fifth-generation Tennessee Valley native and ISA-certified arborist who grew up climbing the white oaks above Lookout Creek. After more than a decade working for regional tree care operations, Tom saw a consistent gap in the local market: homeowners were getting quotes from companies that were either underinsured, under-trained, or simply too large to provide individual attention.
Tom started Chattanooga Tree Care Pros with a single bucket truck and a commitment to three principles that still drive the company today: every project is led by a certified arborist, every estimate is written and honest, and every property is left cleaner than we found it. From a one-truck operation, the company grew through word of mouth alone — no billboards, no aggressive marketing, just the steady recommendation of one Chattanooga neighbor to another.
Today, Chattanooga Tree Care Pros operates from a yard and equipment shop on Ringgold Road in East Brainerd, serving every neighborhood in the Chattanooga metro and reaching into Cleveland, Dalton, and across the Georgia line. We employ a team of climbers, ground crews, equipment operators, and office staff — but the principles have not changed. The arborist who answers the phone is the arborist who shows up at your house.
Credentials and Insurance
We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and full workers' compensation on every crew member. Our lead arborists hold International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification — the gold-standard credential in our industry — and our climbing crews are TCIA-trained. We are BBB-accredited with an A+ rating and active members of the Tennessee Arborist Association.
What Makes Us Different
Most calls into our office begin the same way: "I just got a quote and wanted a second opinion." We hear about removal recommendations that are not warranted, prices that wildly exceed market rate, and high-pressure sales tactics that have no place in this trade. We have built our reputation by quietly being the company that does the opposite — honest assessments, fair pricing, and the willingness to tell you a tree is fine when it is fine.
