Fallen tree removal in Little Rock yards
A tree already on the ground looks like the easy job, and often it is. The catch is tension: a trunk bent over a fence or resting on its own limbs can spring when cut, and that is where most chainsaw injuries after storms happen.

Short answer
Fallen tree removal in Little Rock means cutting a downed tree into manageable pieces, chipping the brush and hauling or stacking the wood, usually in a single visit. Published 2026 local figures put tree removal anywhere from about $270 to $1,210, and a tree already on the ground usually sits toward the lower end because no climbing or rigging is needed.
Updated October 2026
Why a tree on the ground still needs care
A fallen trunk rarely lies flat. It rests on limbs, a fence or the root plate, and parts of it are bent under load. Cutting a loaded section releases that load all at once.
We read the tension first, cut the free limbs, then relieve the trunk in the right order so nothing springs or rolls. After that it is chipping and hauling.
Honest comparison
Cutting it up yourself vs calling a crew
| Part of the job | On your own | With our crew |
|---|---|---|
| Small limbs | Fine with a pruning saw | Chipped on site |
| Trunk under tension | Spring-back and kickback injuries | Relieved in the right order |
| Tree on a fence | Easy to bring the fence down further | Lightened and cut off in sections |
| Root plate | Can tip back into the hole | Cut free with a plan |
| Haul-off | Heavy rounds and dump trips | Loaded and hauled |
| Wires nearby | Contact risk | Entergy first |

Tree down in the yard
A tree lying across the lawn is the simplest case. Limbs come off first and go through the chipper, then the trunk is cut into rounds. If the tree came down roots and all, the root plate may flop back into the hole when the trunk is removed, so we cut it free with a plan for where it lands. The hole and root plate can be ground, filled, or left for later, and we tell you which makes sense for where it sits in the yard.

Tree across a fence line
A trunk on a fence is carrying weight on the rails and posts. We take the top and limbs off first to lighten it, support the trunk if needed, and cut it off the fence in sections so the fence does not spring back or collapse further. Once the tree is off, you or your fence contractor can see exactly what needs repair, and we photograph the damage before we start for your records and your insurer if you need to file.
Cut and stack for firewood
Oak, hickory and ash make good firewood; pine and sweetgum burn poorly. If you want to keep the wood, we cut the rounds to stove length and stack them off the ground on a spot you choose. Splitting is not part of the job unless we agree it up front. Whatever you do not want is loaded and hauled. Fresh oak rounds need a year or more of drying before they burn well, so stack them where air moves around them and off the grass.
How this job runs around Little Rock
How a tree fell tells us how it will behave on the ground. When the March 31, 2023 tornado crossed Little Rock, damage surveys noted pines pulled out root ball and all while oaks snapped at the trunk. We see the same split after ordinary storms: an uprooted pine brings a big root plate that can tip back when the trunk is cut, while a snapped oak leaves a jagged, loaded stub that has to come down separately.
