Perry County is Buffalo River and Tennessee River country — Linden, Lobelville, the bluffs above the Buffalo, and the river running the western edge through Beardstown and Flat Woods. Older homes, mature trees, and properties that have been in the family longer than most companies have been in business.
When a tree out here needs to come down, the call comes to Apex. The crane truck handles the removals, and the crew cleans the site before they leave. We work Linden, Lobelville, Beardstown, and Flat Woods the same way we work the home county — same crew, same equipment, same standard.
Fully insured, COI in your hands before we start the job. We work direct with Farm Bureau, State Farm, and Allstate when the storm did the damage. Call (731) 847-8867 and we’ll come take a look.
River country, and the ground doesn’t always hold
Perry County is river country, and river country has a specific problem: the ground doesn’t always hold. Along the Buffalo and the Tennessee, and down in the bottoms below the bluffs, the soil sits wet for long stretches — and saturated ground gives up its grip on a root system. A big, healthy-looking hardwood standing in soft bottomland can lean or come over in a wind that would never move the same tree on dry ridge ground. The mature trees that make these old home places beautiful are exactly the ones with the crown and weight to do real damage when the soil lets go. That’s when the crane earns its keep: instead of putting a climber in a compromised tree or trying to drop it whole where there’s no room, the crane truck takes it apart from above, piece by piece — safely reaching up to 107 feet — and sets each one down clean.
Common questions
How much does tree removal cost in Perry County?
It depends on the tree’s size, its condition, and how hard it is to reach — a rural bottomland removal with tight access isn’t the same as an open yard. Free estimates for all routine residential tree service jobs. If a third party or an insurance company needs a written report, we charge for that.
My tree started leaning after all the rain — is that bad?
It can be. When bottomland soil saturates, roots lose their anchor, and a fresh lean is often the first sign the ground is letting go. Don’t wait on it — have it looked at.
Can you get to rural or hard-to-reach properties?
Yes. The crane truck works from the road or driveway and reaches over the house, so we can handle trees on river places and bluff properties a climbing crew can’t safely get to.
