Tree Removal in Gurley, the Old Cedar Town

Gurley is a small town of about 800 people on US 72 in east Madison County. It grew around a water and coaling stop on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, was named for early settler John Gurley, and was incorporated in 1891. Cedar trees were so thick around it that sawmills, a bucket maker and a pencil mill set up here.

Most of the town lies in the Gurley Historic District, and its houses are the oldest in the area, with a median build year of 1971. On May 20, 2025, an EF2 touched down on Acuff Road north of town and downed a wide swath of hardwoods. It then ran past Killingsworth Cove Road and up the hill behind homes on JB Hawkins Road. Describe the tree for us, and we schedule a local tree crew to walk the lot with you.

What We Bring to Gurley

Hillsides Hit in 2025

The May 2025 tornado snapped and uprooted many hardwoods on the slopes along Acuff Road and Killingsworth Cove Road. Broken trees left standing on a hill above a house can still slide or fall, so ask a crew to look.

Big Trees, Old Houses

Gurley has the oldest homes around, some from before 1940, and the trees beside them have had decades to grow. When a large limb reaches over an old roof, the crew can price trimming it or taking the tree down.

A Town That Ran on Cedar

Cedar once fed Gurley's sawmills and its pencil mill, and the town still keeps that history in its historic district. If a dead or tipping tree stands near a fence, a shed or an old house, send us a note or a photo.

Check With the Town

Gurley handles its own brush pickup inside town limits. Before cutting a tree near a town street, check with the Town of Gurley. If a tree is touching a power line, stay away and call the utility first.
