Rossville is a small city in Walker County, Georgia, right on the Tennessee line south of downtown Chattanooga and next to East Ridge. It is one of the oldest places in the area: the John Ross House, built about 1797 and named for the Cherokee chief who lived there, still stands in town. Much of Rossville is older neighborhoods on small lots, with big trees that have outgrown their yards.
Common tree jobs around Rossville
- Large trees close to older homes. Oaks, maples and tulip poplars planted decades ago now hang over roofs and fences. Most come down in sections.
- Trees near overhead lines. Many streets still have overhead service drops through the trees. See trees near power lines.
- Dead and declining trees. Dying ash, storm-damaged hardwoods and pines hit by beetles. See dead tree removal.
- Stump grinding in tight backyards and along fences.

Common questions
Do Georgia rules differ from Tennessee for tree work?
A few things change at the state line. Utility locates go through Georgia 811 instead of Tennessee 811, outdoor burning follows Georgia's rules, and your electric provider is not EPB. The tree work itself is the same.
Who trims trees near my power line in Rossville?
Your electric provider trims around its main lines. Trees near the line from the pole to your house are usually the owner's job. Call the provider on your bill to schedule a disconnect so a crew can work safely.
Can you grind a stump close to a fence or sidewalk?
Yes. Smaller grinders fit through gates and work close to fences, foundations and walks. Tell us what's near the stump so the right machine comes out.
