Professional Tree Service in Georgetown, KY
Expert tree removal, trimming, and stump grinding with same-day emergency response and free estimates. Owner-operated, licensed, and insured — trusted tree care since 2018.
Tree Work Done Right, by the Owner Himself
Sure Notch Tree Service removes trees, trims branches, grinds stumps, and responds to emergencies 24/7 throughout Georgetown and Scott County, Kentucky. We're based in Lexington and have worked in Georgetown since 2018. You work directly with owner Robert Phillips from estimate to completion — not a call center or rotating crews.
Georgetown properties are different from each other: historic downtown homes with old oaks, horse farms with overgrown hickories, newer subdivisions with maples planted 15 years ago. They all need different approaches. We respect the landscape and don't just grab a saw and go.

From precision removals to routine pruning and 24/7 storm response, every job is handled with the right equipment and a plan to protect your property.

Learn about tree removalTree Trimming & Pruning
Proper cuts that build strong structure and prevent decay. We thin mature oaks and maples to reduce wind load, clear walkways and power lines, and shape young trees for healthy growth. We never top trees.

Tree Service Expertise for Georgetown & Scott County
Georgetown's Mature Hardwoods Require Expert Care
Georgetown's oaks, maples, ashes, and hickories define the landscape — and mature hardwoods are unforgiving of bad work. Large oaks develop heavy limbs that need rigging expertise to lower safely. Maples tend toward weak branch angles that fail unexpectedly. Ash trees here face emerald ash borer pressure, where sometimes treatment works and sometimes removal is the only option.
We evaluate each tree individually and recommend what actually makes sense — whether that's structural pruning, treatment, or removal.
Storm & Ice Damage Response for Central Kentucky
Ice storms hit Central Kentucky hard. Accumulated ice adds thousands of pounds to limbs that don't normally fail, and summer wind snaps trunks or uproots trees outright. We've cleared countless blocked driveways, removed limbs leaning on roofs, and ground stumps after uprootings.
Emergency response means stabilizing the dangerous situation first, then cleanup and stump grinding once the threat is gone. Twenty-four-seven availability means you're not waiting until Monday — see our emergency tree service.
Deep Roots Across Scott County Communities
We work throughout Georgetown and Scott County — downtown, Cherry Blossom, Ironworks Pike, Sadieville, Stamping Ground, and horse farms across the county. We know which neighborhoods have dense canopies that need careful rigging, which rural spots need equipment that won't tear up pasture, and how to work in historic districts without making neighbors mad.
Lexington-based since 2018, we're not a national chain parachuting crews from out of state. We know Central Kentucky's pests, diseases, and clay soils — so you get accurate diagnoses and care plans that work for Georgetown specifically.
How Our Georgetown Tree Service Works
Four steps from your first call to a clean, finished property — with the owner confirming the plan at every stage.
Free On-Site Estimate
Robert visits, assesses the tree, and tells you what needs doing and what it costs. No obligation, no surprise fees. Hazards identified, options explained, questions answered.
Planning & Scheduling
Once you approve, we schedule around you and confirm the crew has the right gear — bucket trucks, rigging, grinders — plus anything unusual like protecting landscaping.
Safe, Professional Work
Licensed, insured crew shows up on time. Precision cutting, controlled lowering, careful debris management, and property protection throughout. No shortcuts.
Complete Cleanup
The job isn't done until the property is clean. We haul debris, grind stumps below grade, blow off driveways, and leave the yard looking better than we found it.

Most removals run $500–$3,000 depending on size, location, and complexity, with the average residential removal around $800–$1,500. Your free estimate gives exact pricing for your specific tree and site — no hidden fees, and we explain what factors into the cost.
We haul it away unless you want it for firewood or chips. Just tell us whether you'd like the stump ground and the chips removed or left as mulch — we adapt to what works for your property.
Often the opposite — strategically removing a declining or poorly placed tree can improve value. An old dead oak that drops limbs is a liability. We'll talk through whether removal or treatment makes more sense, because bad trees don't add value no matter how old they are.
