Locally Owned Tree Service in Johnson City, TN

Darius Corbin Jr. has led D & E Tree Service & Landscaping for over 20 years — and he still shows up to every job.

20+ Years of Hands-On Tree Work

Darius Corbin Jr. founded D & E Tree Service & Landscaping in Johnson City, TN, more than 20 years ago. He started the company because he saw a gap between big-company pricing and the personal accountability a property owner actually needs. The business grew the way most good local businesses do — job by job, referral by referral, reputation built one yard at a time. Every service we offer today reflects that same foundation.


After two decades of reading East Tennessee hardwoods, we know how a tree behaves before the first cut is made. We can spot signs of disease, structural weakness, or storm damage that aren't obvious to the untrained eye. That kind of knowledge comes from working in the field, not from a manual. It changes how we plan every removal, every trim, and every cleanup — and it keeps our crews and your property safe.

What Locally Owned Means for You

When a crew is based in Johnson City, TN — not dispatched from a regional franchise call center — response time is faster, especially after storms roll through. The person who answers the phone is connected to the person showing up on the job. If you need to call back with a question or a concern, you're talking to the same local team you spoke with the first time.

Darius Corbin Jr. works on-site — he's not managing jobs from an office. When the founder is physically present on your property, every assessment, every cut, and every cleanup is held to the same standard because his name and his local reputation are directly on the line. Larger regional operators often can't offer that kind of direct accountability because the people making decisions aren't the ones holding the saw.

Military Discount — Our Commitment to Those Who Served

D & E Tree Service & Landscaping offers a military discount to veterans and active-duty service members as a values-driven commitment — not a marketing tactic. It reflects how Darius and the team view their obligation to the people in this community who have given the most. The discount applies when you call to request your free estimate.
