Soddy-Daisy stretches north along Highway 27 between the slopes of Walden Ridge and the western shore of Chickamauga Lake. Compared with the neighborhoods closer to town, lots here are bigger and more wooded, and many homes sit on an acre or more with woods behind them. Tree work here is less about one tree over the roof and more about managing a lot of trees.
Common jobs in Soddy-Daisy
- Pines over houses and outbuildings. Tall loblolly and Virginia pines on wooded lots drop limbs and blow over in storms.
- Underbrush and invasive clearing. Privet, honeysuckle and young sweetgum fill in fast. Forestry mulching clears it without burn piles. See land clearing.
- Trees on ridge slopes leaning toward the house or driveway.
- Lake lot trees near docks and shorelines. Remember that cutting on TVA shoreland needs TVA approval.
- Firewood-friendly removals. Many homeowners here keep the wood, which can lower the price.
Wide-open lots have advantages
When there's room to drop a tree whole, removal is faster and cheaper than on a tight city lot. A crew that can fell a tree into an open yard or pasture may charge far less than for the same tree next to a house in Red Bank. It's worth asking whether that option is possible.

Common questions
I have a few acres of woods. Do I need the whole thing cleared?
Rarely. Most people want the underbrush and dead trees gone and the good hardwoods kept. Selective clearing or forestry mulching gives you usable, walkable woods for much less than a full clear.
Can a crew get equipment down my long gravel drive?
Usually. Tell the crew how long and steep the drive is, and whether there are tight turns, low limbs or soft spots. It helps them pick the right trucks and avoid getting stuck.
