Are you licensed and insured in Mobile, Alabama?

Yes. Donnie Chestang Tree Service is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation insurance to protect both our crew and your property.

How much does tree removal cost in Mobile?

Tree removal costs vary depending on the size of the tree, its physical condition, proximity to structures or power lines, and if climbing or crane work is required. We offer free on-site inspections and estimates.

Do you own your heavy machinery like cranes and bucket trucks?

Absolutely. Unlike sub-contractors, we own all our gear—including a 26-ton crane, bucket truck, Bobcat loader, and dump trucks. This allows us to keep rates lower and control safety and cleanup.

Do you provide emergency storm services?

Yes, we provide 24-hour emergency response services for hazardous trees or limbs that have fallen onto homes, utility lines, or blocked essential driveways on the Gulf Coast.

Local Testimonials

What Semmes Neighbors Say

"Donnie and his crew removed two huge oak trees that were leaning directly over our garage. They had their big crane out here and handled the entire process safely and smoothly. Cleaned up the whole yard afterwards. Highly recommend!"

Sarah M.

Blackstone — Semmes, AL

"Called Donnie after a storm dropped a massive pine limb across our driveway. They came out same day, cleared the wood, ground down the stump below ground level, and swept the driveway. Fast response and fair price."

David K.

Semmes Center, AL

"Best tree service in the area. We have used Donnie Chestang multiple times for trimming historical oaks on our commercial property. Professional crew, licensed, and they own all their own machinery so there is no delay."

Daphne, AL

Established 1989

35+ Years in the Canopy

Donnie Chestang started cutting trees in the Mobile area in the late 1980s with just a chainsaw and an old pickup truck. Over the decades, the trucks became larger, the rigging technology advanced, and the crew expanded. But our core promise remained identical: show up on schedule, complete the work safely, and leave the property cleaner than we found it.

We own 100% of our machinery—meaning we never delay projects due to rental backlogs or sub-contractor schedules. Every climber on our crew is trained to Donnie's rigorous standard of safety and arborist practices.

How much does tree removal cost?

Tree removal costs depend on variables such as tree size, its condition (live, rotted, or hollow), physical access restrictions, and if proximity to houses or overhead lines calls for custom crane rigging or climbing. Contact us for a free, on-site, no-obligation estimate.

Do you offer storm damage or emergency cleanups?

Absolutely. We operate a 24-hour rapid emergency cleanup service to remove dangerous hanging limbs or whole fallen trees that have landed on roofs, fences, powerlines, or blocked vital access roads during Gulf Coast storms.
