Tree Removal in Hattiesburg, MS
Dead, leaning, or storm-damaged trees come down safely — in sections, under control, with nothing dropped on your roof, fence, or flowerbeds.
When a Tree Has to Come Down
Around Hattiesburg, removal calls usually start one of four ways: a loblolly pine that died standing after a beetle infestation, a water oak dropping limbs on the driveway, a live oak that's outgrown a Midtown lot, or a storm-split trunk that can't be saved. If a tree is dead, hollow, leaning toward a structure, or tearing up a foundation or septic line, removal is the honest answer — and putting it off only makes it more dangerous and more expensive.
Tight yards are normal here. Using climbing gear and rigging ropes, we take trees down piece by piece, lowering every section instead of dropping it. Where a lot allows it — larger properties out toward Purvis or Oak Grove — we can fell and process whole trees faster and cheaper. The estimate accounts for which method your property needs, so you never pay for a crane job on an open-field tree.
What's included in every removal
- Controlled sectioning or directional felling
- All limbs chipped or hauled off
- Logs removed — or cut to firewood length on request
- Work area raked and blown clean
- Stump grinding available as an add-on

Pricing
What Affects the Price of Tree Removal?
Size & Species
An 80-foot loblolly is a bigger job than a 30-foot crepe myrtle, and dense live oak wood is heavier to rig and haul than pine.
What's Underneath
Trees over roofs, pools, fences, and power drops must be lowered in small sections — that control takes time, and time is the price.
Access
A wide gate on a Petal side street is easy. A fenced backyard off a narrow Hattiesburg alley means everything comes out by hand or wheelbarrow.
Tree Removal FAQs
How much does it cost to remove a tree in Hattiesburg?
Small trees in open yards often run a few hundred dollars. Large removals — big pines and oaks over structures — commonly run $900–$2,500+, and very large or crane-assisted jobs can go higher. Your free written estimate is based on your actual tree, not a phone guess.
Can you remove a tree close to my house or power line?
Yes — that's exactly what rigging is for. We lower sections on ropes so nothing free-falls. If a tree is touching or tangled in a service line, the power company may need to drop the line first; we'll tell you at the estimate and help you sequence it.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree on my property?
Most residential removals in Hattiesburg don't need a permit. Right-of-way trees, historic-district properties, and HOA-governed neighborhoods can be exceptions — we'll flag it during the estimate if it applies to you.
What happens to the stump?
Removal leaves the stump cut low unless you add stump grinding. Most customers bundle the two — it's cheaper than a separate trip, and your yard is finished in one visit.
Will my yard be torn up?
We lay protection where equipment crosses lawn and keep rigging loads off flowerbeds. Some imprint on soft, wet ground is possible after heavy rain, and we'll be straight with you about it before we start — never after.
