Tree service in Paragould, Arkansas - with the price in writing
Removal, trimming, stump grinding, and storm cleanup for the town under the oaks. Every job starts the same way here: a walk around the tree, a written itemized estimate, and no saw until you have said yes to a number.
How this outfit works
Three things you get on every job
No. 1
A written number first
The estimate is itemized on paper - the tree, the haul-off, the stump if you want it gone - and it is the price you pay. Tree work has a storm-chaser problem; paper is the cure.
No. 2
Published local prices
This site prints real Greene County ranges by tree size on the pricing page. Compare any estimate against them, including one from somebody else.
No. 3
Credentials you can check
Big removals belong with an ISA Certified Arborist. The credential is searchable on the ISA's public registry - this page shows you how to run the check on anyone you hire.
What the trees here need
Every kind of tree work, one estimate away
Tree removal
Whole trees taken down in pieces - dead ash, storm leaners, oaks outgrowing a small lot. Rigged and lowered, never dropped.
See the page →
Trimming & pruning
Deadwood out, weight off the long limbs, clearance from roofs and lines. Proper cuts the tree can close over.
See the page →
Stump grinding
The stump ground below grade, chips raked back into the hole, a yard you can mow straight across again.
See the page →
Storm & emergency
Trees on roofs, limbs across drives, hangers over the sidewalk. Storm calls answer first, day or night.

Why Paragould trees are different
Ridge trees on Delta weather
Paragould sits on Crowley's Ridge, the long wooded spine that rises out of the row-crop flats. The ridge grows real upland hardwood - white oak, red oak, hickory, sweetgum - on loose loess soil that storms can work a root plate out of. Put those tall crowns in front of Delta straight-line winds and you get this county's whole tree story: big shade worth keeping, and big failures when a dead limb or a leaning trunk gets ignored.
That is the local judgment a crew here needs. Which sweetgums over Eight Mile Creek's ditch lines are shedding, which ash died standing years ago and cannot be climbed, which oak just needs weight off the house side. Work serves Paragould first, then Oak Grove Heights, Marmaduke, and Lafe up the ridge, and Brookland across the county line.
The credential that matters
Demand a certified arborist. Here's how to check one.
Arkansas has no state license for tree work, which is why the trade splits into crews with credentials and pickups with chainsaws. The credential that counts is ISA Certified Arborist - a written exam on tree biology, safe rigging, and correct pruning, held by the pros this site connects homeowners with and by every legitimate outfit in the region.
- Ask for the arborist's certification number. Confidence here is a good sign by itself.
- Look the number up on the ISA registry at treesaregood.org - it lists every current credential holder.
- Ask for the certificate of insurance sent from the carrier. A crew without one makes their accident your claim.
Three minutes of checking, before a stranger puts a saw sixty feet over your roof.
Asked around Greene County
Paragould tree questions, answered plainly
What does tree removal cost in Paragould?
Most removals in Greene County land between $300 and $650 for a small tree under 30 feet, $600 to $1,300 for a mid-size tree, and $1,300 to $2,800 for a big mature oak or sweetgum. A tree leaning over a house or tangled in lines costs more because rigging it down takes longer. The written estimate names your number before anything is scheduled.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my own property?
For a tree standing in your own yard in Paragould, there is normally no city permit to pull. Trees in the street right-of-way or touching utility lines are a different story - anything tangled in a service drop needs Paragould Light Water & Cable involved before a saw comes near it.
Is the debris hauled off?
Haul-off is priced inside the same written estimate, so the yard is clean when the trailer leaves. If you heat with wood, saying so up front means the trunk gets bucked to firewood length and left stacked, and the price drops.
How fast can someone look at my tree?
Storm damage and trees on structures come first, usually same-day. A standard estimate for removal or trimming is typically walked within a couple of days, and the written number follows the same day as the walk.
How do I know a tree crew is legitimate?
Arkansas does not license tree work at the state level, so the proof falls to two documents: an ISA Certified Arborist credential you can verify on the ISA website, and a certificate of insurance from the crew’s carrier, not a photocopy. Any crew worth hiring produces both without being annoyed you asked.
