Our Services

From one flower bed to twelve cleared acres.

Whether you need one specific job handled or ongoing help caring for a larger property, you can call one company for the outdoor work.

We handle everything from routine lawn and landscape care to tree removal, storm cleanup, and large land-clearing projects for homeowners, estates, and commercial properties.

  • A mown lawn on a hilltop property in late-afternoon light, with a curved mulched border of clipped shrubs and ornamental grasses running beside a split-rail fence, two mature shade trees, and a house set against wooded ridges.

    Property Care

    Keep up with your property without managing a list of different contractors.

    We can take care of trees, landscaping, lawns, gutters, fence lines, and other outdoor maintenance on a schedule that works for you and your property.

  • Three ground crew in hard hats taking down a tall bare trunk in an open yard on an overcast day: one cutting at the base with a chainsaw, one standing well back holding an orange rope run to the top of the trunk, and one watching from the side, with a pickup, a dump trailer and stacked cut logs nearby.

    Tree Removal

    Dead, damaged, leaning, or badly placed tree?

    We'll assess it, explain what we see, and remove it safely when removal is the right call — including trees in tight spaces near homes, driveways, fences, and other structures.

    Learn About Tree Removal

  • A worker in a hard hat reaching up into the canopy of a broad maple with a long pole saw while a second worker watches from a distance, cut limbs piled on the mown grass beside them under a clear sky.

    Tree Trimming & Pruning

    Take care of dangerous, damaged, or overgrown branches while protecting the health and shape of your trees.

    We trim trees away from roofs, driveways, windows, and other structures and can help you decide what needs to be cut and what should stay.

    Learn About Tree Trimming

  • A large oak blown over in wet weather, its splintered trunk lying across a soaked lawn. One worker cuts the trunk into sections with a chainsaw while another carries a cut round toward a chipper parked on the grass, with mist over the ridge behind.

    Storm Damage

    When a tree comes down, getting the property safe comes first.

    Call us anytime. We can remove fallen trees and debris, tarp exposed roof damage when needed, and provide the estimates or documentation your insurance company may request.

    Get Help With Storm Damage

  • A worker in a hard hat guiding a walk-behind stump grinder into a wide stump, wood chips spraying out in an arc across the lawn, with an earlier ground-down patch visible on the grass behind.

    Stump Grinding

    Get rid of the stump and get the space back.

    We grind stumps below ground level, remove the grindings, fill the hole with dirt, and leave the area ready for grass, landscaping, or whatever comes next.

    Learn About Stump Grinding

  • A tracked skid steer with a forestry mulcher head cutting into a wall of brush at the edge of a field, the cleared ground behind it covered in a thick layer of shredded wood, with autumn hardwoods and a mountain ridge beyond.

    Land Clearing

    Turn overgrown or unusable land into space you can put to use.

    We clear brush, undergrowth, trees, and stumps for pastures, building sites, commercial projects, property expansion, and land you want to reclaim.

    We'll also help you understand what the project involves before work begins, including permits when they're required.

    Learn About Land Clearing

  • Planting beds along the front of a pale brick house, with mulched borders of clipped boxwood, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses and a red Japanese maple, beside a stone walkway and a mown lawn. A man stands at the edge of the driveway, hands at his sides, looking toward the house.

    Landscaping & Beds

    Create landscaping that works for your property and the way you want to use it.

    We create and refresh planting beds, install edging and mulch, plant trees and shrubs, build raised gardens, add privacy plantings, and install irrigation.

    Already know what you want? We can build it. Want some input on what will work well in the space? We can help with that too.

    Learn About Landscaping

  • A wide mown lawn with fresh mower stripes running toward a low house at sunrise, a large shade tree and a mulched bed along one edge, and a treeline behind.

    Lawn Care

    Keep your lawn neat and maintained without having to fit another job into your week.

    We mow, edge, trim around obstacles, and blow off drives and walkways before we leave.

    Learn About Lawn Care

We also handle fence repair and installation, rock and gravel work, shrub removal, trenching, and other outdoor projects.

Why Work With Us

Good property care starts with someone who pays attention.

For more than 25 years, David Hooper has worked on trees, yards, acreage, homes, and commercial properties throughout the Greater Chattanooga area.

Knowing how to do the work is only part of the job.

When David comes to your property, he takes the time to understand what you're trying to accomplish.

Maybe there's one tree you're concerned about.

Maybe you want to improve part of the yard.

Maybe you're clearing land for something new.

Or maybe you have a list of ten things and want someone knowledgeable to help you decide which three matter most right now.

David will walk the property with you, answer your questions, and give you a straightforward recommendation.

If something needs attention, he'll explain why.

If it can wait, he'll tell you.

If there are a few good ways to solve the problem, he'll help you understand your options.

The goal isn't to talk you into more work.

It's to help you make a good decision about your property — and then do the work well when you're ready.

Out On A Limb For You is an insured Georgia LLC based in Flintstone, Georgia and serves customers on both sides of the Georgia-Tennessee state line.

  • Would use David Hooper again and highly recommend. Clean up was beyond our expectation.

    Diana MillerGoogle Review

  • We had a very large tree hovering our home that could have fell at any moment, David and his crew came out and absolutely knocked it out the park ! Not only do I have neat stacks of fire wood for fall but I also have peace of mind knowing that my home and family are safe . Couldn't recommend a better crew for any and all of your needs!

    michaeldavis DavisGoogle Review

  • David is the man for all your tree service needs! I work in insurance and he helped one of our customers with a tree that fell on their roof. David went above and beyond for the customer and made the claim process much easier for them. He’s easy to work with, knowledgeable, and honest. What more could you ask for!?

The Chattanooga Property Care Guide

The cover of The Chattanooga Property Care Guide: the title set large in white on a deep green panel, under a short lime rule, above the line "A season-by-season checklist for trees and grounds in the Greater Chattanooga Area". Below, on a pale band, a slender branch runs across the page with its leaves turning from green to gold, with the Out On A Limb For You logo beneath it.

A simple season-by-season checklist for your trees, yard, and outdoor property.

Know what to look for throughout the year, what may need attention now, and what can usually wait.

The guide walks you through common seasonal checks for trees, lawn, landscaping, and other parts of your property, so it's easier to catch problems early and plan ahead.
