What Louisville Customers Say
Louisville’s spring storms, summer heat and winter ice leave trees with split limbs, dead wood and heavy branches hanging over roofs, cars and power lines. That’s when local families call Tino’s Tree Service.
Our crews cut out broken and dead limbs, free storm-split sections, and clear damage off houses and driveways. When a heavy limb hangs over a structure, we cut it in sections and lower each piece with ropes and rigging instead of dropping it.
Every job starts with a free estimate and honest advice about whether your tree needs.

Tree Cutting Services We Handle in Louisville
Not every job means losing the whole tree. We cut away dead limbs, storm damage and overhanging branches. When the tree and stump must go, that’s our tree removal service.
Hazardous Limb Cutting
Heavy, dead or cracked limbs over roofs, gutters and driveways are the first to fail in Louisville's spring thunderstorms. Our climbers use pole saws, top-handle chainsaws and a bucket truck to cut each one back to a healthy branch union, lowering heavy pieces by rope onto open ground.
Large Limb Cutting Near Homes
In older neighborhoods like Crescent Hill and the Highlands, mature trees often spread massive limbs over houses and garages. We cut those limbs in short sections, lowering each piece with rigging ropes, pulleys and a friction lowering device, so the tree stays standing and your roof stays untouched.
Storm-Damaged Tree Cutting
When a storm splits a trunk or drops a limb on your car, the first job is making it safe. We cut the broken wood free with chainsaws, feed brush through the wood chipper, and clear driveways and doorways.
Dead Wood and Ash Limb Cutting
Emerald ash borer has killed many ash trees across Jefferson County, and dead wood turns brittle quickly. We cut out dead limbs before they drop, working from the bucket truck instead of climbing weak wood. If the whole trunk has died, we'll tell you it's a removal job.
Cutting Trees Near Power Lines
Branches touching service lines are a fire and outage risk, and cutting near energized wires is dangerous work. For lines running to your house, we cut limbs back safely; for main utility lines, we coordinate with LG&E first. Either way, you won't be left guessing who handles it.

Why Big Louisville Trees Need Careful Cutting
Louisville trees take a beating every season. Spring thunderstorms crack heavy limbs, ice loads snap branches in winter, and emerald ash borer has left dead wood in ash trees across the area.
In older neighborhoods like the Original Highlands, Germantown and Crescent Hill, mature oaks and tulip poplars spread limbs just a few feet over houses, garages and power lines. Cutting those limbs safely takes rigging, the right equipment and a crew that’s been doing it across Louisville since 2018.
Why Hire a Pro Instead of Cutting It Yourself
Cutting a heavy limb yourself looks cheaper until it swings into the roof, a fence or a neighbor’s car. Chainsaw injuries and ladder falls are among the most common DIY yard accidents, and homeowners insurance may not cover damage you cause yourself. Hiring a professional crew means:
Limbs lowered with ropes, not dropped on your roof
Clean cuts at the branch union, so the tree heals
Bucket trucks, rigging and chippers built for heavy, high limbs
Insurance that covers your property if something goes wrong
Permit rules checked before we start

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree cutting cost in Louisville?
Tree cutting costs depend on the limb’s size and height, how close it hangs to your roof or power lines, and whether pieces must be rigged and lowered. A single dead limb costs far less than several large limbs over a house. We give a free written quote after seeing the tree.
What is the difference between tree removal and cutting?
Tree cutting means cutting out specific limbs or sections, such as dead wood, storm-broken limbs or heavy branches over the house, and the tree usually stays standing. Tree removal is the complete job: the whole tree down, the wood hauled away and the stump ground out.
Do I need a permit to cut a tree in my yard?
In Louisville, you don’t need a permit for small pruning under 10% of the canopy, according to the local authority. Emergency street tree removal is also allowed without a permit. Clearing for traffic safety or visibility is exempt too. Hazardous trees can be addressed directly.
When is the best time of year to cut tree branches in Louisville?
Late winter to early spring is ideal for many trees, reducing stress and promoting growth. Our tree surgeons understand local seasonal risks and handle branch cutting safely for healthy, strong trees.
How quickly can I schedule a tree cutting service?
Scheduling depends on your needs and weather conditions, but our local team responds fast. We keep the process easy for busy homeowners and commercial properties. Call or email today for prompt service.
What is the cheapest time of year for cutting trees?
The cheapest time for tree cutting is usually late winter or early spring. We can schedule work during this period when trees are dormant. It often makes cutting easier, safer, and more efficient for your property.
Is it cheaper to cut out limbs or remove the whole tree?
Cutting specific limbs usually costs far less than full removal, and you keep the tree. If the trunk itself is dead or failing, though, cutting only delays the cost. We’ll tell you honestly which makes sense.
Will insurance pay for storm-damaged limb cutting?
Often, when a limb falls on a covered structure like your house or garage. Cutting healthy limbs as a precaution usually isn’t covered. We provide photos and itemized invoices for your claim.
